I became a Transitor customer a bit before they were launching for the public. Even before launch, I was pleasantly surprised that it worked so well. It allowed me to create a mind-map of every feature and functionality. In other words: It works as it should. Have known Justin for quite sometime and have quickly gotten to speak to Jon as well about Transistor. I love their dedication and passion in making Transitor the best for us makers. No doubt it will fly off the shelves. They are the reason I finally started podcasting. Here's my show for proof : ) https://valsopi.transistor.fm/ Their articles/docs are full of step-by-step tips on how to distribute your Podcast to major outlets and with guidelines on where to even buy the best mic, etc. Muchas gracias JJs x)

@valsopi thanks again for jumping in early. It means a lot that folks are willing to spend their $ before the product was even ready for launch! ❤️

Love this idea, adding professional tools to the podcasting market! I’m curious about the pricing model you’ve launched with, is the concept that you align increased pricing with podcast success?

@moeamaya yes! Podcasting is the best way I've found to earn trust with an audience. The hardest part for most shows is getting more listeners. (80% of podcasts get less than 1,100 downloads per episode). Most people put all of their eggs in one basket: they'll start an interview show and try to make that big. But, the best way to get more listeners is to experiment with multiple formats. (This is something @garyvee has been talking about a lot lately) For example: - You could have a 1-hour interview show that gets 1,000 downloads per episode. - Then, take the best moments from that show, and create a 5-minute highlight show. This might get 2,000 downloads per episode. - Finally, take 4 of your best highlight episodes, and turn it into a narrative 30 minute episode. Now, you're giving listeners the choice: do they want a 1-hour interview show, a 30-minute "commuter" show, or a 5-minute highlight show? You're remixing the content so it appeals to different types of listeners! Our goal with Transistor is to help you grow your audience. Our pricing grows with you: we only grow when you're successful. The other benefit? Now you're not paying $12-$19 per month for old archived shows. If you decide to retire a show, it just fits with the rest of the shows on your account.

Hey 👋 congrats for your product, that looks awesome! Quick question: are you able to track user activities on other players (Google / Apple podcast apps)? If yes, what are the analytics that are included in your dashboard? Thanks!

Transistor.fm is amazing all-in-one product for serious podcasters. Compared with many of the other products out there, I was impressed by its simplicity and comprehensive set of features. If you are looking for a host, website, analytics and more, I highly recommend Transistor.fm for serious podcasters and makers.

I've had a podcasting mic for a while now. I kept looking at it, meaning to create a show but didn't really know what to do with the audio after I recorded and edited it.

Podcast hosting and publishing all seemed pretty complicated. I tried Transistor out earlier this week and I had my show setup and ready to go in about 5 minutes!

It literally takes you step by step through the process, everything you need. Now I can just record my episodes and upload them!

Pros:

Simple upload

Website creator

Analytics

Step-by-step layout

Unlimited shows

Cons:

None I've found yet. Pricing seems to fit multi-show podcast creators and businesses best.

I was an early adopter of Transistor and I've always found podcast hosts plain, dated, and not as user friendly as they could be. Analytics always seems like this black box of "estimations."

Since Justin had serveral successful podcasts and thought that if there's anyone who will build a great platform for podcasters, it's Justin.

At the time I joined, I was starting up a daily podcast, so I needed something quick, easy to use, and efficient each and every day. Transistor does it all!!!

I quickly moved my other podcast over and the migration was super simple.

If you've struggled with understanding all the technical aspects of hosting your podcast, give Transistor.fm a run. You won't be disappointed!

Pros:

Easy to work with, fast, embedded (everywhere) player rocks 🤘, integration with podcast services is stellar, growing analytics

Cons:

If I had to, I suppose the show note editor could be better ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and potentially see in analytics more data around single eps
