--
Jason Sew Hoy is the CEO and Co-Founder of Supercast, one of the first paid membership platforms made specifically for podcasters.
After successfully helping grow the freelancing platform 99 Designs early in his career, he was inspired to keep working at startups that serve creators. So, when his co-founder approached him with the idea for Supercast, it was an ideal match.
Today, Jason is here to talk about his story and about how we can all take advantage of one of the fastest-growing forms of podcast monetization.
Specifically, he’s here to explain exactly why paid memberships are the future of podcasting and to give you strategies to build out your membership platform.

>> THE HANDS-DOWN BEST USB MICROPHONE: SHURE MV: https://growthe.show/mv
Want your podcast to sound as crisp and high-quality as mine does? Easy. Grab the brand-new Shure MV7.
This is the first-ever USB mic created by Shure. It's completely plug-and-play, out of the box, and is the only USB mic that gives you the same silky smooth sound as the Shure SM7B setup, at 1/3rd of the cost.
I literally cannot recommend this microphone enough. All of the convenience. Amazing price.
BY FAR the best bang for your buck.
>> THE BEST REMOTE INTERVIEW RECORDING SOFTWARE: SQUADCAST
Squadcast is by far the best remote recording platform in the game. I use Squadcast to record my interviews for all of my podcasts, because it's the easiest platform for me and my guests to use, and it has the best audio quality.
Within weeks, Squadcast will be introducing video recording too.
Want to give it a go? Use this link to sign up and you'll be able to try the platform for free for an entire interview!
>> THE BEST WEB PLAYER + TRANSCRIPTION EMBEDDER FOR YOUR WEBSITE: FUSEBOX
If you head over to growtheshow.com/episodes, you'll see that each episode features a nifty embedded web player AND an embedded transcript of the entire episode.
This is easily done with the Fusebox plugin, which works for all website providers (WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, and any other HTML Website!)
My favorite part? The transcript gets pasted in super easily, looks great, and the entire text of the episode counts for SEO.
Use this link to sign up for Fusebox and quickly and easily revamp your podcast website.
