00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,120
What are some of the features that our platform offers that you think are perfect for the

2
00:00:12,120 --> 00:00:15,240
beginning or even the pro podcaster?

3
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:21,680
RSS as a podcasting platform is extremely easy.

4
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:25,400
Now simplicity, it's complex.

5
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:31,520
I know it seems like something straightforward, but making something extremely simple and

6
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:37,000
so making it accessible for people who want to start is very complex.

7
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:42,440
And we were lucky because having been in the space with Podcast Generator for 13 years

8
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:50,000
exposed us to all these requests from real podcasters and hosts and all these doubts

9
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:56,120
which allowed us to start this company in a way where our motto was in two clicks you

10
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,680
need to have your first episodes.

11
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:03,120
Probably three clicks now, but still three clicks.

12
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:08,840
I think the main differentiator with other companies is that we are extremely simple.

13
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:14,320
It's not us saying that, it's our users, they write us, they leave reviews, genuine reviews

14
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:17,800
and the most frequent word, it's easy.

15
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:23,320
I would echo that, Alberto and I both read every customer support email that comes, but

16
00:01:23,320 --> 00:01:28,480
we read these because it keeps us in tune with where we're lacking.

17
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:36,440
I have yet to see in a given month more than maybe two customer support emails that makes

18
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,080
it apparent that they don't know what to do or how to do it.

19
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:46,040
At least on our platform, we do run into those troubles with other platforms as they interface

20
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:52,800
with those, but this really has been like a stone in a river.

21
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:57,560
The rough edges of the UI have been knocked off over time and it's a beautiful piece of

22
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:03,220
machinery that is easily accessible no matter where in the world you are to get your podcast

23
00:02:03,220 --> 00:02:06,220
up and running.

24
00:02:06,220 --> 00:02:09,040
That's not a knock on any other platform.

25
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,320
We know how difficult it is.

26
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:17,600
There's so many features that we have that we're holding back right now as we wait for

27
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:23,800
the proper UI to be formulated as we roll those features out.

28
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:29,540
It's not a matter of technical ability, it's a matter of really fine tuning how our customer

29
00:02:29,540 --> 00:02:36,920
interacts with the machine in a way that does not add extra burden, extra frustration or

30
00:02:36,920 --> 00:02:41,280
any sort of lag time in their desire to be a podcaster.

31
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:46,240
It's very difficult, but that is, I would echo what Alberto said.

32
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:52,440
It's all thanks to his work, probably starting as a PhD in how machines and humans interact.

33
00:02:52,440 --> 00:03:14,880
It's really a valuable resource.
