Great product! The similarities between SaaS and subscription podcasting provide lots of opportunities for podcasters to monetize... IF they can figure out how to set up/test/maintain revenue models and properly integrate them with their stack. Love how this app has abstracted this allowing podcasters to focus on what they do best: producing content.

This is really fascinating. Podcasts have had too few ways to monetize. This is in contrast with China, where the podcast market is much larger--and advertising is a smaller share of its cash. A lack of data is also a big challenge. The big podcast apps so far don't give a ton of data, though Spotify is a competitor here. Very cool. Thanks for hunting, @hnshah!

@hnshah @ejzim yeah, the Chinese market is fascinating. Loved this video from Connie Chan @ a16z on that topic: https://a16z.com/2018/12/05/conn... If you didn't see it, I think you'll find it super interesting.

Great to see the podcast space finally getting an upgrade. With so much great content being produced you think someone would have done this sooner.

This sounds awesome. I've supported podcasts on Patreon in the past, but always found it difficult to add their private feeds to my podcast app (sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't). I ended up not staying up to date on a few of them, but kept supporting the creators anyway. This looks like an awesome solution to that headache, and I can't wait to try it out on my own podcast as well! Congrats @awilkinson, @aidanhornsby and team

Amazing team behind a trending opportunity for the future of audio. There's definitely a groundswell behind empowering the creator economy IE Shopify, Patreon, Etsy, SubStack etc. Love the vertical focus on this and marketing launch so far (pick a fight, community-first approach). Excited to see where you take this!

@brandongains Thanks for the support - we're excited too!

I signed up, but haven't gotten any email or anything yet, what is the standard time to be able to set up and start going?
Aidan Hornsby
@mastemine hey Logan, we'll get your account set up and get back to you shortly!

This looks super promising. It’s amazing that in 2019 podcasters’ revenue models are still basically limited to 1950’s style radio ads & maybe Patreon to some extent. Supercast looks to legitimately disrupt a marketing channel that’s long been overlooked. Great job guys!
