Joyride believes that its new platform will actually make podcasting profitable.

Unlike Kickstarter or other crowdfunding apps, Joyride listeners will provide support on a monthly, recurring basis and receive ongoing rewards directly through the Joyride app and website. For example, all supporters of any tier will gain access to that podcast’s Studio in the Joyride app and website, where they will be able to socialize and interact with other listeners and the podcast creators themselves. Supporters will also gain access to exclusive rewards according to their selected tiers such as Google Hangouts, exclusive content, and early access.

“Forty million Americans listen to a podcast at least once a month and with the ‘Connected Car’ on its way that number is going to skyrocket,” said Joyride Co-Founder and CEO Jeff Chen. “There’s just one problem: advertising doesn’t cut it. Even with 100,000 monthly listeners, independent podcast creators can’t break even. With Joyride, they’ll be able to reach out to their most ardent supporters and build a community that generates recurring funding to support and improve their shows.”
