What they are
OBS Studio
The de facto standard for live streaming and screen recording. Free, open-source, and powerful, with a steep learning curve. Used by virtually every serious Twitch and YouTube streamer.
Transistor
Transistor is a podcast hosting platform that distributes episodes to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and other directories from a single dashboard. It suits independent creators, agencies, and companies running more than one show, since all plans include unlimited podcasts. The analytics are clean and honest, though they stop short of the granular listener-behavior data that some larger platforms offer.
