Show HN: MyPodium – An audio-only social network
- mongol 7y agoNot easy to understand.
- Willson50 7y agoGood thing Live Transcribe is out.
- addajones 7y agoNot working on iPad Safari. Edit: Can’t find variable Offline Audio Context
- crazyamir 7y agoWill fix it, thanks for noticing

- mattmar96 7y agoCool idea! I think a single volume control for the site would be a bit better than per clip.
- durmonski 7y agoNice. Really cool idea.
- dangoor 7y agoAnchor was kind of like this when it started and, over time, grew into a podcast platform. While I like podcasts, I honestly have a hard time imagining using an audio version of Twitter.
- ljm 7y agoAn audio version of Twitter would be utterly insufferable. It’s bad enough reading it, but to listen to the same thing would be an effective torture device. Like /r/publicfreakout on steroids.
- meowface 7y agoThat's what would make it so entertaining, though. As someone who's never used Twitter, I'd totally use that for laughs.
- larrywright 7y agoYeah, this probably appeals to someone but I can't imagine using it. Part of the appeal of Twitter et al is that you can post updates any place and any time. Audio doesn't work that way (unless you want to be that guy, and I do not).
- max0563 7y agoCool idea but I really don't like the booing and the cheering. It's incredibly annoying.
- stakhanov 7y agoI was thinking that too. Makes you think of a 90s sitcom.
- seph-reed 7y agoPretty neat. I think the social network bit is played out, not a fan of the booing or claps, but I see potential in this as a tool. Something like imgur for audio.
- afarrell 7y agoIf this doesn't pan out, can you pivot to "an audio-only social network for your friends/family who commute?" I live in a time zone 5 hours off from most of my friends and family. When I want to call my friends after work, they're still at work. When they get off work, I'm headed to sleep. On my way to work, I'd like to be able to record a short podcast about my day and my thoughts, then publish it for my family to listen to when they get up and head to work. Then they could do the same and I can listen to it on my way home.
- paxys 7y agoYou can do this on WhatsApp
- afarrell 7y agoTo do this on whatsapp, you'd need to click "play" on the individual messages. You can do this on public transport. But you should not do this while you are driving or while walking through an area like London where phone theft is common.
- ooopsnevermind 7y agowhoa i like this, I'd totally use this! Literally asked my friend earlier this week to send me a recording of himself and listened to it on the way to work. A friend and I started something similar, we were thinking more for intergenerational connection; basically helps you keep in touch with your family but esp your Grandma who doesn't use tech. :) you get a story from her every week about some part of her life, like a podcast. https://keeplifestories.com https://keeplifestories.com But we'd like to make it available for communities of any kind, including friend groups.
- DaveSapien 7y agoIf you remove the booing and cheering I'm in. I'd love to use this as a musical notes of the day type of thing. Where I upload short musical ideas on things I'm working on. As I say, remove the booing and cheering I'm in.
- srameshc 7y agoI think what is needed is a small description and topic and then people can listen to whatever channel they want to listen to. This looks interesting.
- _bxg1 7y agoVery novel. The effort barrier could help filter out garbage, and audio could also help humanize people and reduce reactionary posts.
- karthickshiva 7y agoWhat is the maximum size/length of an post?
- ptrenko 7y agoFellow founder. How are you guys marketing this besides social posts?
