For an easy-to-use tool, RIverside is surprisingly powerful. From scheduling podcasts, to editing, hosting and distributing, the tool set has everything I need to run my show.
My workflow is pretty straightforward. I use the planner tool to schedule my interviews. When it comes to recording, I have had great luck with both the quality of the audio and the video. And in all cases, the media correctly uploaded to Riverside for editing.
The editing tools have what I need. Within an hour or two, I can add bumpers, sound beds and clean up the interviews. I find the tools simple to use.
A game-changer for me is the AI audio sweetening. With a simple request, Riverside EQs the episode and adjusts the levels. Amazing.
Once the episode has been produced, I add my show notes and an art, and with a click, the content is uploaded to YouTube, Amazon, Spotify and Apple. I am considering adding additional distribution channels because it's so easy.
For a web-based tool, I find that it is responsive and does the job. And for the price, what you get can't be beat. The few times I have needed technical support I was able to fnd something on Riverside or a general web search.
For a one-person podcast, this tool is everything I need to run my show.
I love that I can record high-quality content solo with a teleprompter (with my phone or high-end camera) or just a conversation with a friend or colleague, and it's really easy to use even for non-techie folks. The transcription is really valuable, as you can quickly jump to the good parts. I'm warming up to the online text-based editor as I see how it's faster than desktop editing for some simple edits.
Riverside (formerly Riverside.fm) is an all-in one platform for creating studio-quality videos, webinars and podcasts, from recording and live streaming to editing, repurposing and distribution, all with the help of powerful AI.
