I can't test this because I don't have the latest or greatest Mac, but what separates this from something like Reaper? From what I can tell this doesn't look anywhere near ready for production use. Reaper can do all of this on all platforms right now, even a RaspPi, for a $60 one time purchase. Teapodo has a pretty high bar to clear. I didn't see mention of VST support, does it include any VST's or VST support? I noticed in the screenshot that there is a "background music" track; does it facilitate sidechain compression? I don't see any channel strip functionality for EQ, compression, etc... Noise reduction? Does it have the facilities to meet desired RMS/LUFS targets? I also note from the notes that you're limited to 44.1, which would potentially make integrating with a video podcast problematic.

Learning reaper takes time and is not easy. (and I have a reaper license and love it) If this provides a good tool that's easy to use and provides some podcast-specific features that audacity doesn't, I think there's market for it.

Reaper is awesome. But perhaps also not easy to get started with. A comparison to audacity seems more on point.

  Yeah I agree this is a lot more like Audacity. But if it has chapter support and clips can be aligned like in something like a regular DAW, it has an advantage.

    Can't audacity align clips? Audacity really should support chapters, there are already labels so, and I've seen some script to make metadata that can be applied to the export with ffmpeg.

      It doesn't do non linear editing well - I know that much.

On a Mac, GarageBand does almost everything you might need. I used to use Reaper, I was using it on a Mac back around V3, but the problem with Reaper is that it is general purpose and as someone else mentioned, that comes with a much steeper learning curve. A podcast app is more like a video editor... you pull in audio from various sources, sync it up, add in some jingles and background/intro/outro music, paste in ads you pre recorded, and mixdown to an MP3 with chapters. It's not really the same requirements as something like Reaper.

  Do you know about Ultraschall? It is geared towards podcasting, based on Reaper. Works very well, though I have no experience in using other tools in the space. https://github.com/stonerl/REAPER https://github.com/stonerl/REAPER

    No, I haven't - I don't have a recent licence for Reaper (mine was for 2.x and therefore I only got 3.x without buying more and I started to use GarageBand as I was only doing light stuff by that point.) Sounds interesting though.

  I used GB for a while, but I found Audacity much better. It's overkill for podcast editing, but it IS free.
