Hold the Phones! Literally. There is a new social network hitting the scene, and it is changing the way we broadcast our message. Anchor, an interactive audio platform has launched on the iOS platform.
Two co-founders Nir Zicherman and Michael Mignano conceptualized the platform out of their passion for Radio. Recognizing a gap in the radio space for everyday users to interact, Zicherman and Mignano set out to change that. The vision being, to provide an avenue for listeners to leave an audio comment in response to radio shows, podcasts or launch their own broadcast!
Straight from the mouth of Mignano, “People have things to say, they just don’t have the means to say them with their voice”.

Radio has been around for ages, podcasting has increased in popularity, but the entry into audio has still remained difficult for the average person to enter. Anchor seems to be on a mission to change that by opening the medium up to anyone with an iOS device. With a backing of $1.6 million raised from investors, surely there are plenty more features in store as the Anchor app evolves in this digital space.
