On the heels of criticizing payment processors for their recent descent into censorship, investor David Sacks, former CEO of Yammer and former COO of PayPal, and Axel Ericsson launched the first ever “social podcasting” app, Callin. The co-founders also announced they had secured $12 million.
Callin combines podcasting and the features of social audio apps like Twitter Spaces or Clubhouse into one app.
On live social audio platforms, once the session ends, the audio also disappears. But on Callin, the audio is recorded and users can edit it to create a podcast episode.
“I’d been meaning to do a podcast for years, and I just had never gotten around to it, because it’s too complicated, and the barriers are too high,” said Sacks to TechCrunch. “We have a guy in the studio who spends six hours doing post-production on every episode of the pod, and we all had to get microphones, hardware… It’s complicated to organize.”
