Create your podcast using any phone. Listen to the most recent episode of any podcast through your phone.

So far podcasts have mainly been used to create content in a radio show format. A podcast usually refers to a 20-80 minute episode of audio content. The process of recording a podcast is an actual event itself. Since podcasting requires a certain setup of gear and know-how, most people don’t record podcasts that reflect micro-updates.

What if podcasts could be used similarly to a syndicated voice message sent to people who you have given the appropriate permissions to receive them?
