Anchor 2.0 - Make audio Stories, with voice, music, clips, and call-ins

Think of Anchor 2.0 as radio 2.0. With this new version, we’re aiming to completely reinvent the radio format by making it easy for anyone to easily broadcast high quality audio from your phone, to wherever audio is heard, literally

This is probably one of the most impressive 2.0 launches I've ever seen. The collection of new features - most of which are really clever and non-trivial - is really great. This feels like the work of a much larger team with more time and resources. Crazy! Bravo, @mignano and team!

Great interface and design. For audio content producers who have already produced audio, how do we go about getting out finished tracks into Anchor so we can add the fancy bits around it to create an Anchorized version? Some of the content I'm seeing on the site exists in other audio-only forms, so that seems possible. Or is the aim to make create/consume in the same form factor, ala Snapchat?

@evo_terra Hey Evo, thanks! You can definitely get pre-produced audio onto the new Anchor. Just goto http://anchor.fm/clip to clip existing content. If you have any trouble, feel free to DM us on Twitter or email support@anchor.fm!

I removed Anchor 1.0 a few weeks ago - excited to try 2.0 now.

Beautifully designed. In absolute awe of the home screen. Love the colours, icons and the overall experience. Audio during on-boarding was music to the ears. The future of audio has kind of intrigued me but this sure looks like a logical way forward.

I am in love with this app. It is literally my new fave thing and I think the latest version has such potential honestly. The creation tools are giving me so much life and speaking directly to my soul and the fact I can feature songs on my station, heaven. I want to see the effectiveness of the audio to video transfer process for myself which is what I'm currently trying out but if it is anything as good as what you've shown here, I can not imagine anchor not becoming the premium podcasting tool for casual podcasters.

Been a big fan of Anchor since 1.0 but I took some time off creating and consuming on the app over the last 6 months based on priorities and the focus required to maximize value on the platform. A couple weeks back I returned to the app excited to see the community was just as vibrant as when I had left and that the UI and UX had drastically improved. Then 2.0 was released with the episode functionality and one touch podcast creation. As a host of multiple podcasts for 4+ years not only was I impressed with the functionality but the rollout, community education and open dialogue the Anchor leadership team has with the user based is beyond impressive. I'm a fan of the tool but an even bigger fan of the vision, execution and team Mike and team are building on Achor!
