How we do it

Creators first.

Everything we do, we do it for podcasters. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting your podcasting journey, Anchor was built to solve the pain points around podcasting, while remaining powerful enough to make your wildest podcasting dreams come true.

Tools that are really, really easy to use.

We’ve reimagined podcasting from the ground up. Every feature in Anchor is designed to be so straightforward that anyone (even people with zero podcasting experience) can pick it up and start using it right away.

Powerful technology that solves real problems.

We build intelligent tools that minimize the grunt work, and help you navigate podcasting best practices so you can focus on making something amazing. Whether it’s recording, editing, or getting listeners, we want you to feel like nothing is standing in the way of you telling your story.

Our history

We’ve both always loved radio, podcasts, playing music, and all things audio. In 2014, we were inspired to build an Anchor prototype after realizing how difficult it was to create and distribute audio. Our experiment quickly took on a life of its own, and we launched the first public version of Anchor in 2016. We’re now a growing team, based in NYC and continuing to invent crazy new ways for people to immerse themselves in the world of audio. We all agree it’s the most fun job we’ve ever had.
