We’re Changing Platforms from Libsyn to RedCircle
Hard to believe, but it has been over 18 months since we launched the Premium Edition of the CzabeCast. Many of you have been with me since that very first premium episode and have the ALE Coin to prove it! I am eternally grateful for your support and continued “1 percenter” status.
Since launching the Premium edition, there has been a constant drumbeat of two requests from listeners:
- Why can’t I just sign up and pay once per year?
- Why can I only listen to the Premium episodes on the CzabeCast app?
Well, we are moving the podcast to a new platform created by RedCircle and it solves both of those issues.
RedCircle was created by a couple of former Uber employees and offers a very sleek, simple interface for signing up and managing your account. They also currently host Tony Bruno’s podcast as well as Gerry Callahan’s. So I think we’re in good company with these guys.
The real key with the RedCircle platform is they offer the ability to listen to the premium podcast on multiple podcasting platforms, not just our own proprietary app (which is going away. More details below). You’ll be able to download and listen to the Premium episodes in many of the same apps you listen to other shows on, including the Apple Podcast app, which is where over 90 percent of our downloads are coming from already.
This is going to be a great move for the show, and we think for you the listeners. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to make this totally seamless, so there might be a couple of things you need to do. Below are details on the transition from all angles.
