Introducing Voicecast! Voicecast is a modern podcast voicemail tool that gives your show a dedicated URL (like https://voicecast.app/your-show). Listeners can leave high-quality audio messages, and you can even accept text messages with optional text-to-speech. It's the easiest way to collect and use listener contributions for your show.
The Problem with Traditional Voicemail
I was listening to an episode of Core and I could barely make out the audio of a listener call-in: the low bitrate of a traditional phone line was making me strain to understand what was being said. I knew there had to be a better way.
That scratchy, compressed audio from a phone call-in line degrades the quality of the entire podcast episode. For listeners, calling a number can be a hassle, especially if it's international. For hosts, managing these audio files is often a clunky, manual process. The friction is high for everyone involved, and the quality is low.
How Voicecast is Different
Voicecast was built to solve these problems head-on.
Crystal-Clear Audio: Listeners record directly in their browser with whatever mic they have available. There are no phone lines involved, so the audio is captured at the highest possible quality. We process every message into a standardized format, so you get consistent, clean audio every time.
A Home for Your Show: Every show gets a simple, shareable URL. You can brand your page with your show's logo and a description, creating a professional and familiar space for your community to engage with you.
Text Messages & Text-to-Speech: Sometimes listeners are in a noisy place or just feel a bit shy. Voicecast allows them to send in text messages, which are then converted into perfectly clear audio using text-to-speech. It's an inclusive way to ensure everyone can contribute.
Effortless Management: When a new message arrives, we'll send you an email notification. You can listen to, manage, and even get AI-powered transcriptions for all your messages from a simple dashboard.
How It Works
We've made the process incredibly simple for both listeners and podcasters.
For Listeners:
1. Visit the show's public page.
2. Click the record button and start talking.
3. Add your name (optional) and hit send. That's it.
For Podcasters:
1. Sign up for a free account and create your show page in minutes.
2. Share your unique Voicecast URL with your listeners.
3. Get notified when new messages arrive.
4. Listen, download, and feature them in your next episode.
What's Next?
This is just the beginning. There is a long list of features we're excited to build, including better ways to organize messages, integrations with podcasting workflows, and more tools to help you connect with your audience. We also want to add tipping and live call-in functionality.
Voicecast is a labor of love from a die-hard podcast listener. Our goal is to make it the absolute best tool for podcasters to engage with their communities.
