I was alerted to Anchor by Joe Dale.
Anchor for iOS brings audio blogging back from the dead https://t.co/bTPjg42Q0N > Heard of this @johnjohnston?

I don’t think audio needs reanimated but…
Looks like an interesting app for mobile audio. Ease of use and the ability to reply seem to be the features they are going for. Setup was largely audio, for instance you don’t type your name, you speak it.
Pasting the link to a piece of audio into WordPress here embeds it, via oEmbed I guess. I can’t see any sign of RSS yet. I’ve not found the documentation yet either. Seems to be iOS/iPhone only so far.
They do say:
Once published, conversations can be shared as podcasts, and heard all over the web.
from: Anchor – True public radio – About Anchor
So I’d expect RSS to be involved somewhere. I am hoping for RSS for tags so that we could pull them into Edutalk.
Recording is so easy that I made the above without much though, I’ll try again soon with more of a plan.
Thanks! Interesting but iPhone only. Avoiding closed platforms.
I believe they are working on Android app too.
