As a producer and host of three podcasts, one of my biggest pet peeve is achieving frictionless ways to engage with the listeners. Remarks allows for insightful, yet fun (GIFs!) interaction. As a host, I can also interject links at specific times, something that is a bit of a pain on Soundcloud and that the lack of chaptering standards precludes me from doing on iTunes and other platforms (Marco Arment said he wouldn't support them on Overcast for instance). I'm interested to hear thoughts from other podcasters here too!
@papadimitriou thanks for submitting Remarks. We're looking to make it easy to have conversations about podcasts - both host -> fans and fans <-> fans.
Hi, founder of Remarks here.
I created the app because I listen to podcasts at least an hour a day and wanted a way to talk with other fans about the ideas and guests that excite me. When a guest would be introduced, I want to see their picture, maybe browse through their tweets. When the host makes an interesting point I want to talk about it.
This is what Remarks lets you do.
I'm really excited to hear what the podcasting community thinks of the app, we launched about a month ago and are hungry to make this thing great. Happy to answer any questions. If any of you are podcast hosts and would like a 'verified' account, please email me at adam@remarks.fm and we'll get you setup.
@remarks also, we have a partner program for podcast hosts http://remarks.fm/partners where we do $150 in free co-promotional advertising for your podcast if you agree to try out Remarks and engage with your audience.
@msitver Michael, I'd be happy to. let me know your remarks username and I'll verify your account. email me at adam@remarks.fm and we can get plan the copy/demographics/timing of the advertising.
This is an interesting idea - a lot like the chat feature twitch has on its recorded streams now. Is the thought process this would be primarily utilized for live podcasts or will it also have the option to eventually see and add to the conversation that took place on back logged podcasts? I guess I'm interested if this is more of a message board idea or a time stamped conversation that follows along with the podcast. Seems like the latter is a little more compelling because it introduced the capacity for context. Lots of potential.
@davenukem hi Dave, its intended to be the latter. As you listen to an episode, the posts that were left during that minute of the episode are featured. Everything is time stamped to when it was posted.
@adamontherun awesome! I would love to see this get heavy adoption. 90% of the reason I love the twit network is the chat room that's running consistently throughout the podcasts! Downloading now.
