This service has always been available for our radio show. It is easy to use, and using the automatic podcasting really makes my life simple. We have been with Talkshoe for many years, and will stick with them for the future.

TalkShoe has deteriorated

TalkShoe has deteriorated into a worthless site. It does not work. It is nothing as beautiful as it had been for years. All the wonderful people that had done incredible radio shows were gone, with no way to salvage the the shows. I believe there is MUCH more to this story and I hope someone has the guts to tell it.

Loving the new look

Loving the new look, convenience, professional layout, and administration of the new Talkshoe. But missing that voice in the beginning of the recordings, "TALKSHOE". Still much to learn like putting the live stream on my websites, and more.

Great app

I have been using Talkshoe since 2012, and I love the new functionalities! It makes doing VOIP calling a lot easier than the shoephone (and it looks more sophisticated). The only thing I haven't figured out is how to add moderators.

TalkShoe was on autopilot for years

TalkShoe was on autopilot for years. Zero updates, wonky app. Then, one day, my crew and I awake to discover that not only has the entire service been revamped, but YEARS worth of interviews (some with famous people who have subsequently died) are just GONE. There was a blog about it, I guess. Not very public. And now it is deleted. They seemed to remove it rather hastily. And it was not e-mailed out in a very timely or public fashion, either. I'm done with them. I've moved on to Twitch and YouTube, which are, SHOCKINGLY, infinitely better services.

Problems with other moderators that were drunk rude & swearing on my call were not taken care of. Because TS uses Google Chrome which violates people's privacy, I was forced to leave in the best interest of the people on my call not being violated by this monster corporate machine.
I mostly miss TS. Please get rid of Google Chrome & I will come back.
Our world is deteriorating and people should be alarmed at the depth of the treat to all of humanity from the misuse of technology to manipulate
and control the masses. If you don't believe me then soon you will see.

Thank you for the review, sorry for the troubles you had on your podcast. We are developing stand-alone apps for the desktop and smartphone which would be another option other than using Google Chrome.

A stunning and impressive new podcasting platform, that breathes a breath of fresh air into the podcasting industry. A very impressive overhaul of Talkshoe's former, dated aesthetics, and worked effectively with my team of elite Enterprise Linux users - well done on delivering on a great cross-platform solution. Talkshoe is the hero pod casting deserves.

We cannot give five stars because you do not provide a good education and phone support to fix technical problems. We'd like to use the video conferencing part of TalkShoe, but having trouble with the instructions by text. It's best if you provide a video presentation on how to use that new feature to visually see it.

I used Talkshoe for 9 years with a few occasional problems and then it was bought out by the same company that owns free conferencing. They are the dumbest bunch of people I have seen in a long time. They ruined what had been a good platform when they "updated" it to make it compatible with google (the scumbags with your data) and the system would not work properly. I never missed a Monday night conference call in 9 years prior to that and the last straw for me was when I could not even log into my own call board and I got tossed OFF THE CALL. They deleted MOST of the historical call archives with NO advance notice (so they could be captured if desired) which they have done on free conferencing to a friend of mine as well. Absolutely useless when someone goes to listen to an archived call with their "new" system and all they get is 6 hours of silence instead of a 2 hour call recording.They are a bunch of idiots from this side of the fence. They have NO clue and I would NEVER even think of trying to use them again for anything. Save yourself the aggravation and find something better.

Sound quality is mixed

Sound quality is mixed. I recorded a 90 minute conversation with three callers including myself (two on phone, me on computer) and after about an hour my screen went completely dark and could not be revived until after we'd hung up the call and it had processed. The recording was saved and everything was fine but it was scary there for a while because I didn't know what was happening.

They deleted a whole ton of my podcasts without any warning or communication with customers.

Their stats are atrocious and tell you nothing.

I used to be a HUGE advocate for Talkshoe, it being free and allowing up to 100mb a show/call that was tremendous and so valuable to the low budget podcaster but not any more.
