Why Creators Are Choosing Callin
Top creators are choosing Callin as their exclusive platform for podcasting because of its unique ability to engage live audiences, keep creators in control, and remain easy to use:
Audience engagement
Media and content today are no longer a one-way dialogue. In today’s digital media landscape, discourse, debate, conversation, and commentary — expressing both opposing and supporting viewpoints — are essential to create engaging content and build your audience. Callin supports creators that want to be accountable, answer tough questions and get feedback: they tell us that the ability to interact with listeners is one of Callin’s most standout features. Indeed, this interaction and engagement coupled with long-tail podcasting is unprecedented.
Creative control
Every creator wants control over their content. The freedom to express opinions, explore topics on their own terms, and create content outside of the traditional boundaries of existing media systems is core to Callin’s mission. Callin allows creators and their audiences to share their expertise, opinions, and ideas, while engaging in live conversation. By design, Callin gives show hosts creative and practical control over their rooms and the topics discussed. Hosts decide who can and cannot speak in a room and what content is ultimately published. All content must adhere to the Callin community guidelines.
Ease of use
Developing, producing, editing, and distributing a traditional podcast is costly and time-consuming, requiring special equipment, software, and editing skills. While ther platforms for sharing content — newsletters, blogs, social, video — has been simplified and streamlined, podcasting has lagged behind. A full-stack podcasting platform, Callin creators can start a show and record, edit, publish, and distribute episodes without costly equipment or time-intensive editing required. Because it’s so easy to use, Callin is the ideal complement to creators’ other channels for written, video, and social content publishing.
