Relay FM is a podcast network that mainly focuses on technology podcasts. It was founded 18 August 2014[1] by Myke Hurley and Stephen M. Hackett. [2]The network has many hosts, including C. G. P. Grey from the podcast Hello Internet, Casey Liss, Marco Arment and John Siracusa from the Accidental Tech Podcast and Brianna Wu from Isometric and Rocket.
When the podcast network was launched, it had five shows: Analog(ue), Connected, Inquisitive, The Pen Addict, and Virtual. [2]Today, there are 17 shows on the network, in addition to extra B-Sides podcasts consisting before and after show snippets. While some may think this is a tech news podcast network, many of the shows cover a wide diversity of interest like pens, video game industry, content creation, productivity, space, product design and development and independent app development. [2][3]
On 9 October 2015, Relay FM launched its mobile application,[4][5] allowing users to discover new shows, listen to the latest shows, and be notified when their favorite show is broadcasting live. Users of the app can also subscribe to shows in their favorite podcast app of choice from the Relay FM app.
