RAIN Notes: March 18
"Substack calls this 'the first step toward giving every show on Substack its own distinct look and feel.' The recording studio dramatically expands the service from its previous live-only operation, enabling users to brand their production with a logo or wordmark, and choose where it appears in the frame."
"A study published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology found that 'people feel significantly more connected through voice-based communication' than text-based communication. The research establishes that the human voice, tone, and pacing create stronger bonds, though people tend to overestimate the potential awkwardness of voice calls."
"ZipRecruiter has started a band called the ZipRecrooners, a five-voice a cappella group singing the benefits of their service. Promotion around this gambit calls the music 'an original hiring anthem [bringing] musical magic to the hiring experience,' running as a TV spot across audio platforms and social media."
Substack introduced a Recording Studio, expanding beyond live-only capabilities to include pre-recorded video production with desktop access and custom branding options like logos and wordmarks. Simultaneously, research from the Journal of Experimental Psychology demonstrates that voice-based communication creates significantly stronger emotional connections than text-based alternatives, despite people's tendency to overestimate awkwardness in voice calls. ZipRecruiter launched an innovative branding campaign featuring the ZipRecrooners, a five-voice a cappella group promoting their hiring services across television, audio platforms, and social media. Additionally, Podpage acquired School of Podcasting, with founder Dave Jackson continuing as Head of Podcasting, introducing a new free tier to expand accessibility.
