Social audio has grown rapidly over the past few months:

I wrote about why it's growing so fast here: https://subvert.substack.com/p/social-audio-connection-over-...

Checkout why Clubhouse is becoming a commodity, why @roadtrip_fm by is killing it, and where the next big opportunity lies.

Names such as have become household names in tech.

Others such as @roadtrip_fm have reinvented TurntableFM with their own spin to create a straight up vibe of an app.

Social audio is only going to grow from here on out.

Over the next 6-12 months we're going to see rapid adoption of an audio first strategy -- companies and consumers alike are going recognize the potency of audio, the ability to create valuable connection and it's advantage over traditional social & media.

One of the more interesting opportunities in this space will though is creating the solutions to power these new social audio networks.

Give companies the tools to drop in audio/audio social networks into their existing apps and good things will happen IMO.

Checkout out the memo linked above for more on this.

Loved this, what do you think the catalyst was for these social audio cos to start popping up? and how do you think FB will go about this?

corona played a huge factor -- lots of free time and a lot less physical contact.

FB will probably leverage the existing social graphs within their networks to start testing this. They already have distribution/discovery nailed ... they just need to role out a sub product that mimics these features.
