[00:00:01] Speaker 1: The biggest opportunity in podcasts right now is building a community around your show, not just an audience on platforms. Riverside just launched a feature that helps you do exactly that. The moment you host your podcast on Riverside, it can generate a full website for your show with a custom subdomain, all your episodes and built in players so people can watch or listen directly. But here's the best part. Your viewers can actually subscribe to your podcast website and get notified every time you publish a new episode. And every episode gets its own page with the description, transcript and links to platforms like Spotify or Apple Podcasts so your audience can engage with your content however they want and you can engage back with them. So instead of sending people everywhere, you can finally send them to one place that you own.
