The legend @mijustin came through to the 75th London IndieBeers on Wednesday! As a huge Transistor FM fan (we use it for Napkin Math), and longtime follower of his founder journey, I was suitably gassed to meet him. We talked about their new video feature, some cool roadmap stuff, and how counter-cultural #londonmaxxing feels against the typical UK reputation. Thank you Justin, and don’t be a stranger next time you’re in town 🫡

Here is a demo of Transistor's new video podcast hosting feature! Upload one video file, and we'll publish that video episode to YouTube, @ApplePodcasts, @spotifypodcasts (coming soon), and HLS in RSS! We're particularly excited about HLS video being distributed through RSS.

We also use @TransistorFM to host manage and host our podcasts - great service.

Occurs to me that Apple Podcasts video, being mostly algorithmless, see-what-you-follow only, means another form of content can emerge. No need to be youtubey, no cringey thumbnails necessary Just a new large, fairly open space for better stuff to thrive

Case study: @stephenrobles (Primary Technology) shipped his first video episode on @ApplePodcasts in early April. Over the next 60 days, plays per episode jumped from ~9,000 plays to ~20,000 plays. transistor.fm/apple-video-do…

Yes! Video podcasting is here on Transistor. Upload one video file and distribute to @ApplePodcasts, YouTube, HLS in RSS, and Spotify (coming soon).

Together with author Dan Pink, I have started a new podcast series called Best Case Scenarios. Each episode asks an expert to give us their best possible good news scenario in the next 25 years. What happens if everything goes right? What is the best case scenario for say, energy, transportation, biotechnology and brain science? Those are the subjects of our first four episodes. These scenarios are not predictions, but visions of what we can aim for in order to make them real. Get them on your podcast app. bestcasescenarios.transistor…

We just hit 200k downloads 🥳 Thanks to all the guests we've had on, the sponsors who've made this possible, and all of you who are (hopefully) listening to us every week 🥹

Love @TransistorFM

Oh man. It's been a blast to share my thoughts in audio form every morning for the past couple of weeks. It's even crazier that there's people who listen! Thank you! 🫶 I'm working on turning these into blog posts and updating my website to have them be even MORE visible.
