What they are

Riverside

Browser-based recording for podcasts and video interviews. Records each guest locally for broadcast-quality audio and video, even on poor connections. Built-in editor and AI clip generator.

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.
