I joined RePod not too long ago and it has become my go-to listening app. All of my favorite podcasts are available and I've been able to discover new shows in my favorite genre through the recommendations of the users I follow. Being a Podcaster myself, the ability to clip specific sections of episodes to share is awesome! Listeners can even leave monetary tips!

✌️ Hey it’s Travis, cofounder of Repod, along with @emmettapps Last year our fascination was learning how podcasters build their listener communities. Most podcasters use a stack of platforms: Facebook Groups, Discord, Patreon, and etc. We learned this setup has a few problems: - Facebook Groups & Discord didn't help podcasters grow new listeners, nor could they monetize these communities - Patreon helps you monetization, but it lacked social engagement and discussions - Listeners had to manage multiple apps/platforms to connect with their favorite hosts while listening to podcasts So, we built Repod Communities, a way for podcasters to turn their listeners into a community by bringing together podcast discussions, memberships, and growth into one central place. Repod Communities is like Facebook Groups meets Patreon, but inside the Repod podcast app. If you're a podcaster who wants to build a more tight-knit listener community then here are some of the features you can explore: 💳 Offer paid memberships 💌 Accept tips 🔁 Import a private/premium RSS feed (i.e. Patreon) 🆓 Offer free membership trials 📬 Collect shipping address (for fulling merch like stickers, t-shirts, or etc) 🔒 Create a public or private discussion room 💬 Episode discussions 🔗 Custom community links 🎙️ Connect with other podcasters in a “podcasters-only” discussion room 📈 Grow community by building next to other podcast communities 🎧 Full podcast app And if you're a listener, Repod Communities helps you connect and discuss with your favorite hosts. Let us know what you think!

Best podcast app on the market. No better way to discover new podcasts as well as finding the best snippets from otherwise long podcasts. Love everything about it!!

I've always been interested in the community and social opportunity in podcasting, but no company has really broken out. Why do you think that is, @travisosterhaus?
Travis Osterhaus

@rrhoover Oooo thats a hard hitting question. We've been at this for a few years now and our biggest learning was that listeners have a unique trust in what the podcasters/hosts have to say. There are some massive podcast communities on Facebook Groups and Patreon. Listeners join those communities because hosts will mention those platforms in almost every episode they release. So, we believe that to truly make podcasts social then it starts with a place that podcasters can monetize, engage, and grow their community from. When a podcaster loves us, we basically get free advertising because they mention their Repod community in their podcast episodes. I think other social/community podcast platforms missed out on this opportunity. The last couple of months we've partnered with 30-40 podcasts in the True Crime and Film review genre who already had FB/Patreon communities. We’ve been seeing success with them and it’s been a real joy helping connect the hosts with their listeners.
