Transistor podcasting

The official video podcast from Transistor.fm, offering tutorials and industry analysis for aspiring and active podcasters.

The brief

This is video-first content marketing for the Transistor.fm podcast hosting platform, packaged as a podcast. Episodes are primarily screen-sharing tutorials that walk through specific podcasting tasks, like submitting to directories or setting up 301 redirects, using Transistor's interface to do so. Occasionally, it features broader industry analysis from conference talks, exploring trends like the rise of video and AI.

Unlike interview-based shows about podcasting, this is a product-centric educational series. Its focus is on technical execution and feature demonstrations, often using screen-sharing, rather than on creator stories or content strategy.
