The tools to grow on
Oh yeah. We knew you needed it; we knew you wanted it and so did we. It just made sense. With simple RSS advances that enabled people from all walks to be heard and downloaded across the Internet, it was really a no-brainer. But it took podcast pioneer Todd Cochrane to bring it all together: a central site, an interface or liason for and about podcasting. And so it was — after careful consideration, research and team selection — RawVoice was birthed as a company by podcasters for podcasters to provide tools, resources and communities. We make it easier for podcasters to focus on content creation and, importantly, we bring podcasters and advertisers together to make money.
Incorporated in 2005, the RawVoice team initially launched PodcasterNews.com, featuring 5-minute podcasts, and the patent pending Mycast. In a few short years, it’s become much, much — and yeah, we will say it again for emphasis — much more than that. In fact, after its launch in 2006 Blubrry.com became the RawVoice capstone; a core site for podcast sharing, discovery, publishing, hosting, measurement and monetization. With more than 4,500 podcasts on board, to say Blubrry is a success would be a gross understatement. But we’ll say it anyway: Blubrry rocks, check it out!
You want control, of course you do. We want you to have control, that’s how we like it. RawVoice has continued to evolve in ways that ensure you’re in control. RawVoice is consistently developing and providing the podcast community a virtual treasure chest of tech tools.
RawVoice:
- offers the RawVoice Generator, a configurable, customizable, user-friendly media platform that combines the power of podcasting with the possibilities of social networking.
- communities house thousands of audio podcasts.
- provides tools and resources, such as the Blubrry Power Press, to upload and maintain your podcast using your WordPress blog.

RawVoice features five content-driven podcasting communities: Blubrry, Podcaster News, Tech Podcasts, Pro Med Network and Travel Cast Network as well as a how-to site with all you need to know at Podcastfaq.com.
Does it sound like we’re bragging? Not sure that we mean to; we’re just pretty impressed with how far podcasting has come in a few short years and we’re pretty excited about being an important part of its evolution.
