I offload mine to a storage zone on [Bunny](https://bunny.net/); my podcasts are low traffic, so that costs me $12/yr. You could probably get away with using archive.org for free instead, as long as you can get a direct link to your mp3. I'm also not going to cover creating a theme for your podcast in this post. I made my own for both of my sites, but you can easily use a premade one.
