Hi Product Hunters! Oli here from Seedcamp. At the start of the year we decided to give podcasting a go so that we could share the insights of our network with the world. 6 months and 37 episodes later, we think we have a pretty valuable resource for anyone working in startups; as a founder, employee or investor.

@oliwesbiz Great podcast! Maybe tie in an RSS driven newsletter and an email opt-in. I'm not a fan of using iTunes for podcasts, but getting something in my inbox when you publish a new episode would be very welcome.

@dan_e_gray @oliwesbiz Thanks for the feedback, Dan! Yes, we'd love to send an automated email to a subscribed group when published - do you have any recommendations of ways to do this?

@mubashariqbal @oliwesbiz Thanks for the reply Mubashar! I'd assumed based on a quick look at the Feedsides page that it was limited in customisation in favour of deployment speed and simplicity. Building in social share buttons and a subscriber capture form would definitely be helpful there.

@dan_e_gray @oliwesbiz No problem. FeedSites is very new (just launched yesterday), and still very much in development. Great to see how people want to use it and iterate!
