Podcasting for Absolute Champions
I got the oddest emails late last week.. financial reports from iTunesConnect. I haven't seen those in years, because I haven't done anything besides free apps. So I opened them up and saw that I actually had 2 users subscribe to the Pro version of my new podcasting app! This felt especially great since they were non-US subscribers, and therefore not someone in my personal network who is just being friendly. Unless I know more Australians than I thought :)
Wrote up an article on the tipping mechanic in my new podcast app: https://medium.com/@daveyoung_11837/can-listener-tipping-move-the-needle-for-podcasts-ed3f4697ca73?source=friends_link&sk=c76b04f9cc9108d67644f34cdee43537

A truly exciting moment for the mobile app, it now supports interactions. The podcast creator can create a simple interaction like a Yes/No or Multiple Choice interaction. Users respond by whacking a huge button, the podcaster gets accumulated responses. Can also chain interactions together. Great way to gather up information about your users!

Got the Android beta running ahead of schedule, and thanks to some IH assistance in early testing, pushed it out.

Went against my own common wisdom and decided to launch the beta iOS in TestFlight last night. I'm about a week early on releasing, and it's a scary moment. The beta group is small, but large enough to cover some bases and find the big problems before the public launch.

I finally was able to make a full promo video showing the SaaS app and the mobile app that was less than 4 minutes long. They usually run me around 20 minutes!

Listening to podcasts is painful if you're driving. We need voice commands, calls to action, community, and features built through a “make it MUCH easier to engage” lens. These drive revenue and audience growth for shows
