Show HN: We made a podcast host then we made a podcast about SaaS (transistor.fm)

This year, I’m building a podcasting startup with my friend Jon called Transistor.fm.

Lots has changed since Basecamp launched in 2004. When they started, there were only 1-2 competitors in a vertical. Now, each category has hundreds of competitors. Some things have gotten easier, but many things (especially marketing, acquisition, and profit margins) have gotten harder.

So we decided to use our platform and record a show about what it takes to build a SaaS in 2018. We have 5 episodes, and so far, people are finding it helpful!

Any topics you'd like to see us cover in future shows?


So something I struggle with is placing podcasting into the range of content marketing options. Compared to writing posts, guest posts, building tools, etc. how do you value a podcast listener vs an email subscriber, etc?


This is an interesting project. I guess the concept is similar to Gimlet Media's "Startup", but very niche-specific. I just subscribed and will give it a listen.


So meta! Excited to follow along to learn about both podcasting and SaaS!
