What they are

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.

Zoom

Zoom is a video conferencing platform used for meetings, webinars, live Q&As, and online coaching sessions. Content creators, course instructors, and community builders rely on it to host live interactions with audiences of any size. The free tier caps group calls at 40 minutes, which is a genuine constraint for longer sessions. Paid plans start around $14.16 per month when billed annually and lift that limit while adding recording and webinar features.
