New Chapter: Community (+ Weekly Update!)

It has now been a couple of weeks of non-stop calls with podcasters (which we enjoy, by the way!) and lots and lots of introspection, ideation and brainstorming.

Our vision about Paudium is crystalising even more so with every week we spend building it.

Our latest breakthrough was in fact our latest decision we made after hearing about it on almost every call:

We want to help podcast hosts build a community around their podcast.

Podcasters want to be able to have a place where they are able to interact with their community, share latest updates, provide insights into behind-the-scenes, share their latest products, services and everything in between.

Right now, the biggest problem is that the community they have is needing to migrate to a number of different platforms to get the connection they need with the podcasters: Instagram, Twitter, Patreon, Facebook, YouTube, their own website/shop, you name it.

We want Paudium to be an All-in-One platform built for the purpose of amplifying the connection between podcast hosts and their listeners.

We think podcasting in general should be treated more like social media than it is right now, and we have decided to make this our mission.

With that being said - this week we are focused on crystallising the exact features we are going to develop to facilitate this idea.
