Uncut 5-min Pitch!

Introducing blockchain-based podcasting.

What's our mission?

At Uncut, we believe everyone should own what they create.

We're reimagining the traditional audio format and coupling it with the possibilities of digital ownership (NFT, $TOKENS...) by offering podcasters a novel way to divide their content into showcased "moments" — rare digital assets listeners can invest in to support their favorite show.

Our podcasting platform offers an immersive, easily-navigable listening experience and is also part of a broader paradigm shift toward a more decentralized and community-owned internet.

We are on a mission to enable true ownership for both creators and their audience by turning episodes into iconic moments that are desirable to share, collect and own! We want to create a shared equity between creators and listeners alike and strive to give creators independence and the economic rewards associated with their creation

We believe in creative freedom and independence and we think podcasters shouldn't change or censor their art to please a sponsor or platform.

Product Sneak Preview

The Uncut experience is fully browser-based.

Podcasters use our platform to augment their audio content directly from their RSS feed (no need to upload their MP3 to our platform). Using our creator dashboard, they can then divide their episodes into Moments (think chapters of a book). Each Moment is represented as a Card with additional data that is shareable and tradable (NFTs).

Where are we now?

We are finalizing our MVP!

It allows creators to augment their audio content directly from their RSS feed and divide their episodes into immersive and shareable moments. We are currently finalizing the sharing capabilities and the creative admin tools, but you can already test the service with a real podcast episode here: https://app.uncut.fm/episode/304. (Operable in a mobile browser.)

Our goal is to have a complete MVP with admin functions by end of December 2021 so we can test our assumptions with our early adopter community.

Podcasters we've spoken with so far are incredibly excited by the creative and economic potential of this format, which allows them to not only augment and showcase their content but also makes their shows more navigable and shareable.

But this is just 10% of our vision...

What's next?

Our next goal is to allow podcasters to turn Uncut moments into NFTs, and to allow their fans to buy and trade these NFTs on both our platform and other NFT marketplaces. Beyond being digital assets of speculation and collection, each NFT can be programmed with special benefits (access to a Discord, special events, newsletters, exclusive content, merchandise....)

We're also considering creating $PODS tokens to reward their listeners every time they listen to their episodes, share a moment, or respond to specific calls to action (following the creator on Twitter, taking a survey, reading a blog post...)

Of course, fans will be able to use their earned $PODS or other cryptocurrencies to buy digital assets from podcasters. Thank you for helping us create a new economy of ownership for creators and listeners alike!
