S1 E8: Bootstrapping a Modern Podcast Hosting Platform | Jon Buda (Transistor.fm)

Building on the early tech he learned, Jon Buda became a ruby on rails champion – building his projects using the back and front end components of the language. Having created a Spotify like music platform – way before Spotify existed – he gained large experience in what is required to host and process audio files. While working at Cards Against Humanity, he created his second podcast hosting solution in time to host a single.. and very popular podcast. This solution would come to be known as Transistor.fm.Today’s sponsor: Hackbright Academy (https://hackbrightacademy.com/)Linkshttps://jonbuda.comhttps://transistor.fmhttps://cardsagainsthumanity.comhttps://saas.transistor.fm/https://www.thegoodnewspodcast.fmhttps://www.mtraxmusic.comhttps://basecamp.com/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOXO_%28festival%29https://caddyserver.com/https://vuejs.orgLeave us a review on Apple Podcasts! Amazing tools we use: If you want the best publishing platform for your podcast, with amazing support & people – use Transistor.fm.Want to record your remote interviews with class?
