Hi PH!
I'm Austin, the founder of Capiche FM.
We're really excited to see the creative ways the Product Hunt community uses this. If you're interested in trying it out, my suggestion is to just start a stream and get some friends on the line with you. All the planning and production that goes into podcasting is great, but there's a bit of magic in spontaneity too.
Here are some fun types of shows our early users have been experimenting with so far:
* AMAs or other call-in shows
* Stream-of-conscious shows
* Daily news recaps
* Breaking news shows
* Trivia games
* Talkshows
Please let me know if you have any questions!
Hey Product Hunt, Matt from the Capiche FM team here. Super excited to share what we've been building over the past few months!
I've long found audio scary, overthought what I'd talk about before I started, approached editing with the same heavy-handed style I'd apply to my written work.
And then, as the team built Capiche FM, turns out live audio takes much of that away. I'd start a call, chat about ideas behind an upcoming blog post, or chat with someone I'd invited on about their product and the ideas behind it, and it just felt natural, like a conversation over a meal. It was just what I needed to stop overthinking audio (plus simpler than the whole process of starting, hosting, and editing a podcast!).
I'm biased, but I think there's something fun here, and it's been super exciting seeing the shows others have built on Capiche FM so far. Cannot wait to see what the PH community streams on Capiche FM!
I've been watching Capiche and listening to calls for a month or so now and think it's a fantastic idea 👍
Really well-executed and a great team making dead easy for anybody to start an audio show!
An awesome product and awesome execution. I can't wait to see how this evolves... it fills a huge gap in audio content!
That’s so awesome to hear, thanks for sharing @nimrodpriell! I’ve loved tuning into your show so far!
First thing that is asked for is my phone number? No way, that's an automatic pass for me, no matter how potentially fun or useful the product is.
@andreasduess b-b-b-ut it's a radio call in show platform... you literally can't participate in the experience unless you call in... via phone. 😅
I'm excited to see what people do w/ the format freedom @CapicheFM offers. Breaks down the podcast walls+brings people into the conversation.
Thanks @clarkchambers, and we agree—it's been fascinating to see people take the platform and run with it!
Love what you guys are building at Capiche! Had super fun hosting The Build in Public show and can't wait to listen to other shows 🔥 Congrats Austin and the whole team 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks @5harath! Been awesome tuning into your show—looking forward to seeing you grow it!
I've been listening to Saas Radio Hour for the last couple months and have really enjoyed it - Great job guys!
I co-host a show called "The Why Behind X" on Capiche.fm for a while now and I have to say I'm super impressed with everything that the team has built.
Having a live podcast meant my co-host and I could engage with listeners directly. I can also tell who's listening and have actual data on how many minutes people were listening to my podcast as opposed to the number of downloads. The text messages notification is super awesome as well - much better than if we were to opt for newsletter alert instead.
I can see this product go far, and I have no doubt the team is going to do some awesome stuff in the future.
@linhsights1 Love _The Why Behind X_—you and Joseph have done a great job with your show! Awesome to hear you like the listener minutes; that's a tiny thing I've enjoyed watching while broadcasting as well.
@rupert_haslam The big differences are that Capiche FM is public so anyone can join in and listen to your broadcast—even without signing up for a Capiche FM account. Then, live broadcasts are recorded if you want, so your followers can come back and listen later if they couldn't join in live (and can subscribe to your show in their favorite podcast player to listen anytime).
@rupert_haslam @maguay True but Clubhouse is in beta which is why it is not public and Twitter is also in Beta with the same features as you. I think what you have done is amazing, I'm just wondering how you compete?
