Podcasts are great, but they are even better together! Cooler is making podcasting fun, social, and interactive— with comments, reactions, leaderboards, streaks and shareable clips of your favorite moments.
What's up Product Hunters! This is Mike, CEO and co-founder of Cooler. On behalf of our small but mighty team of five, I'm excited to introduce Cooler to you!
Ever felt like podcasting is weirdly... lonely? Even though millions of people are listening, it still feels like this: 🦗🦗🦗—when really, it should feel more like this: 😂👏❤️🔥💬?
That's why we built Cooler—a podcast player designed to make listening more social, interactive, and fun.
With Cooler, you can:
Join the Conversation – Drop comments, react, and see what others are saying.
Show your fandom – Rack up streaks, compete on leaderboards and flex your listening stats.
Sharing is Caring – Turn your favorite audio clips into beautiful videos to share everywhere, recommend episodes, and see what your podcast communities are into.
And we're just getting started.
You see, the podcast industry is dominated by three players (Apple, Spotify, and YouTube), none of whom are actually podcast companies. Podcasts are not their primary source of revenue. So innovation has come at a glacial pace. The rest of the players are all fighting for the remainder of the market. While there are some really great players (shoutout Overcast!), it's been incredibly hard to break user's habits. That's why we need early adopters like yourselves to help us break through and usher in a new wave of innovation. Download the app, use it as a your primary podcast player for a couple weeks, and send me any feedback you have at [email protected]. We want to build this with and for podcast lovers like yourself!!
