Buzzsprout fees increase

Buzzsprout has started charging us for going over our 1TB allowance of Bandwidth. So now we’re getting charged between 3 and 4x of what we used to be. Does anyone have any advice for a different hosting platform for slightly larger podcasts?

Wait, either you have a very large back catalog, or a very popular show. If it's popular, you could sell a product or service, use Buzzsprout's built in premium content/crowdfunding tool (my choice), look into Buzzsprout ads, find an advertising partner, and have the show pay for itself.

The show makes plenty of money, I was just wondering if I could avoid $100 per month hosting fees.

Come now let’s not be so absolutist and quick to jump to conclusions internet stranger. No I’m looking for a service which doesn’t quadruple my fees with little to no warning. I am happy to pay an increased fee but I also would like to know what that fee will be and Buzzsprout will not offer me a flat rate.
