Capiche FM lets anyone launch an interactive online radio show for free. Chat with your friends, host a talkshow, hold office hours, create a gameshow...it's your call!
Hi PH!
I'm Austin, the founder of Capiche FM.
We're really excited to see the creative ways the Product Hunt community uses this. If you're interested in trying it out, my suggestion is to just start a stream and get some friends on the line with you. All the planning and production that goes into podcasting is great, but there's a bit of magic in spontaneity too.
Here are some fun types of shows our early users have been experimenting with so far:
* AMAs or other call-in shows
* Stream-of-conscious shows
* Daily news recaps
* Breaking news shows
* Trivia games
* Talkshows
Please let me know if you have any questions!
Hey Product Hunt, Matt from the Capiche FM team here. Super excited to share what we've been building over the past few months!
I've long found audio scary, overthought what I'd talk about before I started, approached editing with the same heavy-handed style I'd apply to my written work.
And then, as the team built Capiche FM, turns out live audio takes much of that away. I'd start a call, chat about ideas behind an upcoming blog post, or chat with someone I'd invited on about their product and the ideas behind it, and it just felt natural, like a conversation over a meal. It was just what I needed to stop overthinking audio (plus simpler than the whole process of starting, hosting, and editing a podcast!).
I'm biased, but I think there's something fun here, and it's been super exciting seeing the shows others have built on Capiche FM so far. Cannot wait to see what the PH community streams on Capiche FM!
Congrats on the launch, @awwstn!
This is very different from Capiche. Curious to hear the backstory! :)

Whats the difference from clubhouse, twitter space beta?

@rupert_haslam The big differences are that Capiche FM is public so anyone can join in and listen to your broadcast—even without signing up for a Capiche FM account. Then, live broadcasts are recorded if you want, so your followers can come back and listen later if they couldn't join in live (and can subscribe to your show in their favorite podcast player to listen anytime).

@rupert_haslam@maguay True but Clubhouse is in beta which is why it is not public and Twitter is also in Beta with the same features as you. I think what you have done is amazing, I'm just wondering how you compete?
Love what you guys are building at Capiche! Had super fun hosting The Build in Public show and can't wait to listen to other shows 🔥 Congrats Austin and the whole team 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
