INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Fresh off its relaunch as an app offering a suite of tools for podcasters, Anchor today is rolling a new feature that will make it easier
for people to find someone to podcast with: Cohosts
connection to a cohost, you have 30 seconds to meet in the app and decide how you want to get started
The recording will then start automatically, and will continue for up to 15 minutes
Both users will receive a copy of the recording and can choose to publish it to their own podcast right away, or save it for later.After the
recording, podcasters rate each other with a simple thumbs up or down
limit.Those who are highly rated will also get better ranked in the matching algorithm, Anchor notes.If a podcaster has a particular topic
base.While before, the app was focused on recording audio, Anchor 3.0 is meant to be a podcasting suite in your pocket
The new version includes recording features with no time limits, a built-in library of transition sounds, tools for adding music, support
for voice messages (a call-in like feature), free hosting, and a push button experience for publishing to share your podcast to all the top
platforms.Matching cohosts in teams of two may just be the start.Mignano hints that a future version of Anchor may include more flexibility
about for a while, says Mignano
