Livecast supports up to eight simultaneous speakers and unlimited audience. Listeners can call in and participate or provide live feedback. They can also engage with hosts and fellow listeners in a show’s messaging room. There is also a virtual gifting option included so that Livecast listeners can demonstrate their appreciation through in-app purchases that the show creators can cash out.
“Podcast listeners are already considered one of the most engaged audiences but podcasting itself has largely been a passive activity,” Founder and CEO Renee Wang said. “As a dedicated podcast platform catering to power users, we’re introducing an interactive element that pulls the audience into the show to immerse them in audio content in an entirely new way.”
