485 – WP Builds hijack – how show.fm simplifies podcasting for WordPress creators
Today, Marc Benzakein from MainWP takes over the podcast for a chat about Nathan (and Dan Maby's) new podcasting app: show.fm. We get into why it was built, what it does and how it'll save you loads of time by removing so many of the boring parts of a podcasters life. Launching a podcast is easy, but ongoing production is demanding. We chat about the operational burden of booking guests, show notes, distribution, and analytics, exploring how show.fm can help. It's a "PodOps" platform designed to centralise and automate podcast management, including guest network features, AI-assisted guest research, streamlined distribution, WordPress integration, automations, and analytics. We talk about the once in a lifetime 'Founders' deal, the importance of community feedback in refining the platform to truly serve podcasters’ needs, making professional podcasting more accessible and less time-consuming.
