Hari Gopalakrishna on Audio Quality in Remote Recording, and Building for Your Community
Today, I chat with Hari Gopalakrishna, founder of remote recording and live-streaming platform Boomcaster.
Hari has a long history in the SaaS industry, and has built many leading cloud solutions for businesses. But it’s his own frustrations as a podcaster seeking simple, quality solutions for remote recording that led to Boomcaster being born.
Making Podcasting Accessible to All
When Hari entered the podcasting space with Boomcaster, his overarching goal was clear - to make podcasting accessible for all. This meant high quality video and audio recording available to all indie podcasters, without needing to break the bank to do so.
On Creating the Best Experience for Streamers and Podcasters
While Boomcaster is rightly seen as a quality option for remote recording, it can be easy to forget that it's also a high quality live streaming platform, too. Hari shares how the genesis of Boomcaster came about with his frustration at having to use multiple products to get the best results for both streaming and recording.
The Importance of Building for Your Community
Hari has a strong technical background, and this helps when it comes to implementing features that can help Boomcaster's users. However, he also knows the importance of adding only features that will help his audience, and that comes from listening to, and seeking out, feedback from core and general users.
Why You Need to Build Your Production Quality
As the podcasting space continues to see new players come in, and hundreds/thousands of new podcasts every day/week, Hari believes production quality is key to the success of your show. As he mentions, this is more than just how good a microphone you use.
Why Boomcaster is Doubling Down on Indie Podcaster Needs
Hari started Boomcaster for the indie podcaster, and he feels no need to make that goal any different (while still serving other audiences). The simple reason is, Boomcaster is built to help podcasters tell their stories in the simplest to use way.
