The Only Podcast Platform You Need

  • August 22, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I've used a lot of different podcast platforms to record, edit, capture video, etc... and pretty much all of them compromise in some area, except Riverside.fm. The system itself is really easy to use and I've had great feedback from guests on how easy it was to join sessions. I record a lot with guests so the experience for them is really important and in some other systems that I've used, there was a lot more lifting on their end than there should be. There's nothing worse than trying to trouble shoot some sort of weird glitch that prevents their camera or mics from connecting and so far that's never happened on Riverside and I am confident it won't.
What do you dislike about the product?
I honestly don't have any dislikes. The only minor gripe is that when you click to download files it can be a bit confusing as to when they're actually available and if you go back to the page or is it a seperate page. It took a few downloads to figure it out. Extremely minor detail and probably me being super nitpicky.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest challenge I had making my podcast and video podcast was the fact that it took many different platforms to accomplish what I was trying to do. I was using one system for capturing video, using my Rodcaster Pro for audio, another for editing, another for clips, another for transcribing, and it was getting ridiculous. I'm now using Riverside for everything but final editing, only because I insert ads, intro/outro, and export for hosting. It's saved me a ton of money and time to only have one spot to do the majority of the process.

Riverside Is Amazing

  • August 22, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Riverside has been the best thing that we've found for our podcast. It records us no matter where we are in the world with unbelievable clarity and ease, and we can turn around episodes quickly. We also love the ability we have to clip videos for our social channels, which helps us promote even more easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
There really are no downsides! Everything works extremely well and the software is reliable. We tell everybody about it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are co-hosts of a podcast and we're in different places. Before, we would chat over Google Meet and record to our local machines, but it took FOREVER to line up the audio and the quality was sometimes bad. Now we just pop in Riverside, record our episodes, edit for clarity and conciseness, and publish. It's really streamlined our production.

Riverside FM gives my podcast the right visual appeal.

  • August 22, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ideal for impactful vodcasts and audio tutorials with visuals. In just 5 minutes, you're ready to start recording, and your interviewees are confidently (remotely) prepared without worrying about technical hassles.
What do you dislike about the product?
When working on a production with multiple producers as a small-scale production company, you're more or less compelled to share a single account. Otherwise, it becomes too costly, unfortunately. However, sharing does work well too.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It makes establishing the technical connection with a remote interviewee very simple. The recording is secure as it's stored locally and retrieved later, and the quality is highly professional, comfortably meeting industry standards.

"Seamlessly Kickstart Your Podcasting Journey!"

  • August 21, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Riverside.fm's platform stands out, not only for its features but primarily for its simplicity and ease of use. The recording studio interface is refreshingly straightforward, making it accessible even for those new to podcasting or online interviews. Whether you are an amateur looking to start a new podcast or a seasoned professional, the intuitive design ensures that users can navigate through the platform with minimal fuss.

When you first log into Riverside.fm, you're not bombarded with overwhelming controls or technical jargon. Instead, everything is laid out in a manner that's easy to understand and operate. Setting up a new session, inviting guests, and managing your recordings can be done with just a few clicks. This kind of ease of use ensures that you can focus on what truly matters – creating high-quality content.

**Magic Clips – A Game Changer**

One of the standout features has to be the new Magic Clips. This tool is nothing short of revolutionary for content creators. With Magic Clips, you can effortlessly highlight and extract moments from your recording session. Whether you want to share a memorable quote, a funny moment, or a key insight, Magic Clips lets you do it seamlessly.

The true magic of this feature lies in its simplicity. Instead of trawling through hours of content to find that one golden snippet, Magic Clips allows users to quickly identify and extract moments worth sharing. The process is straightforward and doesn’t require any advanced editing skills. For those looking to share engaging content snippets on social media or use them for promotional purposes, this feature is a game-changer.

**Conclusion**

In a world full of complex software and applications, Riverside.fm stands out with its commitment to user experience. The easy-to-use recording studio and the innovative Magic Clips feature truly set the platform apart. For content creators, both new and seasoned, this platform offers a blend of quality and simplicity that is hard to find elsewhere. Highly recommended for anyone looking to elevate their content creation journey!
What do you dislike about the product?
Integrations:

One of the primary pain points I've experienced with Riverside.fm is the apparent lack of comprehensive integrations, especially with renowned editing software like Final Cut Pro. While the platform itself provides excellent recording capabilities, the workflow is hindered when it's time to transition to post-production stages, particularly for those teams reliant on Final Cut Pro. An integration here would undoubtedly streamline the entire process, reducing time-consuming workarounds and potential quality degradation when importing/exporting.

Price:

Another significant concern lies in the platform's pricing model. While the baseline $49 per month offers good value for individuals or small creators, the leap to $400 for additional users or managers feels excessive. Organizations, particularly those operating with tighter budgets, may find this jump hard to justify.

For teams that require collaboration between multiple roles – such as an editor, a project manager, and an admin – this pricing structure becomes a bottleneck. It’s not only about the financial aspect but also the inability to have an integrated workflow with all relevant stakeholders having platform access.

Improvement:
Understanding that Riverside.fm aims to cater to a broad range of users, from solo podcasters to larger organizations, a more flexible pricing structure is essential. I propose the introduction of intermediary plans, particularly focused on team collaboration. A plan that offers at least three seats for critical roles like the editor, project manager, and admin would be a welcome addition. Such a tiered approach would make the platform more accessible and appealing to medium-sized teams, ensuring that everyone necessary for a project's success can contribute efficiently without breaking the bank.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Riverside excels at streamlining podcast hosting, yet falls short in integrating with tools like Calendly for automated guest invites and offering affordable multi-user access for cohesive team collaboration.
