Reminds me of Anchor's first iteration, which was more social and conversational.
While it might be too early to tell, what topics or types of conversations are you seeing on the platform, @ddebow and team?
UPDATE: Me and @pt hosted our first Dialog. Here's the recording.
@rrhoover hey! It is early for sure and we really want to see what evolves - but so far we’ve had conversation on politics (local and national), tons of sports commentary, hobbies (d&d to bdsm!), music (and the music industry), parenting, global travel and more. As well, a number of businesses have used Dialog to create easy and engaging ways to go deep on content in their industry. We’ve seen HR consultants, Cannabis businesses, crypto, and general startup folks create dialogs. It’s amazing to see what people will create with their voice when given a platform!
@ddebow@rrhoover I was thinking this too, and kinda wonder how this is going to affect services like @anchor which have, up until now, seemed to have become the go-to place for co-hosting podcasts "made easy" -- as someone who enjoys talking (a lot), I might play around with this. I liked Anchor's first iteration a little more than what it's evolved into because I enjoyed the conversational dynamic of it (although what they are now is also cool, just a different kind of use-dynamic I think). Will be interesting to see how this ends up iterating out. 🤔
@rrhoover@chrismessina we’re gonna try hard @chrismessina ... it is hard model indeed. But the payoff for improving our internet - people actually talking to each other - is worth it.
Cool concept and looks super simple to be remote broadcasting without everyone being forced into one room. I'm a podcast fanatic and love listening to spirited exchanges between interesting people. A big challenge is discovery, finding great content buried in the sea of choice. @ddebow how are you thinking about discovery and enabling listeners to find stations/shows/broadcasts most relevant to them?
@jasons great point. First, I think live is more like live radio - you scan through channels, jump in, and then jump around. We want to encourage that. It’s a different browsing experience than podcasting for a bunch of reasons. Second, we have a great roadmap that extracts and suggests relevant live shows
👋 Hi all!
I’m Daniel Debow, and together with @fnthawar and @davidpardy we created the Dialog project.
Today, we all complain that social media is toxic. Trolls and polarizing comments divide us. People don’t listen and learn from each other. Human empathy is lost.
We wanted to build something better. Something different. So, we created Dialog.
Dialog is a community dedicated to live, spoken conversation online.
Dialog uses your spoken voice. It's for interactive conversation. It has built-in controls to keep conversations safe.
We hope Dialog can facilitate a different social experience online.
Dialog is a person-by-person movement - for people who enjoy conversation and learning.
Join us today!

@fnthawar@davidpardy@ddebow Congrats. I can't think of a better team to pull something like this off. Well done!
Cool product. Clicked the link and jumped on a call with @rrhoover & Parker. How cool's that!? I like the use case of leveraging live audio to further engage with pre-existing content. I.e sports pre-game debate, post Amazon product release discussion, influencer fan engagement. Cool stuff, glad to see it coming out of Toronto! :)
@jaxson Thanks for this! We're working on something to help you out 😄

I've been using Dialog for the past few weeks as a way to connect with folks in our local UX Research community. We've hosted some really fun conversations that dozens of people have joined to listen in on and participate.
Not gonna lie, it was a really special moment when we had our first caller, this really feels like it could be something big 💯

@levin_alec Not gonna lie Alec, we love listening to your calls on Dialog! 'The Researcher' is not a voice that often gets the lime-light, so it's amazing that you're using this community to amplify your own. Keep up the amazing calls!
