On September 30th., International Podcast Day, the Podcast Super Friends, welcomed Kendall Breitman, Community Lead at Riverside, with big news on a major product rollout: Riverside's launch of its new chat-based editing tool — the "AI Co-Creator," affectionately nicknamed “Coco” by the internal team. Co-Creator introduces a major shift in how podcasters can handle post-production. Instead of manually editing timelines or transcripts, users can simply type what they want — like “make this episode more engaging” or “cut the part about watermelons” — and Riverside's AI will handle the edits. The tool supports everything from layout changes, B-roll additions, branding overlays, to audio cleanup like EQ adjustments and filler word removal, all with user-guided flexibility. Kendall walks us through the evolution of the tool — how it started as a way to generate show notes and blog posts directly from transcripts, and now powers full post-production editing, video layout automation, and audio enhancements like Magic Audio and Smart Mute. Co-Creator's AI capabilities also include adding royalty-free music, removing background noise, and even dynamically changing video composition based on prompts. While you still have full control to fine-tune manually, the tool helps users speed up their editing dramatically. We also discuss the importance of community feedback. Kendall emphasizes Riverside's commitment to implementing user suggestions quickly, with the Facebook group "Conversation Creators by Riverside" acting as a hub for ideas and feedback. In fact, several features — including the Editor Add-On that lets producers access client accounts — were born directly from community input. The conversation touches on pricing barriers for small-scale producers, the benefits of using iPhones as high-quality second cameras, and the addition of Safari support — making the platform even more accessible. We also explore Riverside's live streaming capabilities, which let creators stream to multiple platforms including YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, and custom RTMP destinations — with multi-channel live chat support. Kendall suggests this is a great next step for creators looking to deepen audience engagement, especially as platforms reward live content in their algorithms. Wrapping up, Kendall highlights Riverside's free resources, like the Community Hub (riverside.com/community) and their live workshop series, which showcase workflows from everyday creators. She also teases future updates and encourages everyone to keep checking back — because the features keep rolling out fast. More: https://riverside.com/community Riverside Users Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/264571558188791 Superfriends' websites: Johnny Peterson - ⁠⁠⁠⁠Johnny Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.johnnypodcasts.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ Catherine O'Brien -⁠⁠⁠⁠ Branch Out Programs ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.branchoutprograms.com⁠⁠⁠ Jon Gay: Jag Podcast Productions ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.jagpodcastproductions.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ David Yas: Pod 617 -⁠⁠⁠⁠ The Boston Podcast Network⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.pod617.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠ Matt Cundill - ⁠⁠⁠⁠The Sound Off Media Company⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://soundoff.network⁠⁠⁠⁠ 00:00 Introduction to the Podcast and Guests 01:02 Big Announcement: Chat-Based Editing 03:27 Evolution of Riverside's Editing Tools 04:45 Community Feedback and Feature Development 07:51 Introducing the AI Co-Creator: Coco 09:33 CoCreator's Journey and Marketing Assets 10:52 Editing with Coco: Enhancements and Control 12:00 Advanced Editing Features and AI Capabilities 14:03 Audio Enhancements and Magic Audio Features 16:42 Filler Word Removal and Audio Quality 18:54 Maintaining Creative Control with AI Tools 22:32 Exploring Media Board Functionality 23:44 Video Editing Techniques and AI Integration 25:02 Enhancing Video Quality with Creative Edits 26:57 Browser Compatibility and User Experience 27:12 Safari and Cross-Browser Functionality 29:01 Using Mobile Devices for Recording 30:10 Community Engagement and Feature Awareness 31:22 Community Resources and User Feedback 34:05 Understanding Podcaster Needs and Trends 36:42 Challenges in Podcast Promotion and Repurposing 39:10 The Importance of YouTube for Discoverability 42:56 Producer Tools and User Feedback 44:58 Navigating Technical Challenges in Podcasting 47:40 Enhancing Collaboration with Riverside's New Features 49:37 The Rise of Live Streaming in Podcasting 56:59 Riverside's Comprehensive Podcasting Solutions 58:19 Community Engagement and Resources for Podcasters Find jag on social media @JAGPodcastProductions or online at JAGPodcastProductions.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

With a new administration in office and so much happening politically in the US, we felt it was only right to share resources for our community. Collectively, we are all experiencing so much change, uncertainty, and, for many, injustice. Today's show offers many resources, not to be taken as legal or professional advice but simply as information. Sharing allows us to grow and learn together. As we shared in the show, this is not a time to hide in the shadows. This is a time to come into the light to rise together & inform the most vulnerable of their rights.  We understand our views may not be shared with everyone who listens; as such, we welcome opposing points of view through respectful and productive dialogue.
