Our take
The popularity of podcasts continues to skyrocket, with the medium covering every topic one can imagine. Traditionally, the medium has been limited to one or more hosts recording in advance, in the same location. But as podcasting grows, the demand for innovation has outgrown the legacy tools that hosts are using.
Riverside realised that the best podcasts will feature more than one co-host and often different guests every episode. The company has made this process easy for hosts by allowing them to easily record remote podcasts. Users are able to locally record video and audio, allowing them to easily separate host and guest channels, livestream recordings on most major social platforms, and accept screened live questions from listeners to boost engagement.
The initial product was met with great interest from its Product Hunt launch. Since then, a number of major podcasts have switched to using Riverside to record their shows. These include the NFL Weekly Podcast and the number one news show in the Netherlands.
Riverside has teamed up with Spotify, which will undoubtedly aid the company in reaching more listeners by uploading its podcasts to Spotify via Anchor. Off the back of hefty investment, the company is accelerating its product roadmap and developing AI-leveraging products to streamline the content creation process.
