Once upon a time
You lived a life. And with that life comes an endless number of stories. These are the stories we need to hear and the stories only you can tell.
Welcome to Oncetold, a podcast education and technology company teaching you how to use podcasting to tell your story.
We’re podcasters too. Oncetold is not another podcast hosting company. We built Oncetold from the ground up using a decade’s worth of real-world podcasting experience and endless frustration from a tone-deaf industry.
You lived a life. And with that life comes an endless number of stories. These are the stories we need to hear and the stories only you can tell.
What happens when you step off this mortal coil without ever telling another soul those stories? Those stories – your story – are gone. Forever.
What if you could preserve your stories for current and future generations? What if you could preserve your thoughts so that they could stand the test of time?
The oral tradition of storytelling is as old as mankind itself. The only difference now is how we share these stories. We’ve traded in the campfire for technology: the technology of podcasting.
Podcasting is our oral tradition of storytelling for the modern world; where each episode becomes an epic, each season, an archive, and each show, a life that can reach through time.
It’s time for you to take advantage of podcasting – a time-tested technology – to now share your stories in a simple, clear, and enduring way.
Join your fellow yarn weavers, big dreamers, and true believers to preserve your experience, knowledge, and perspectives forever.
Great! Another hosting company!
Whoa! We hear that all the time. But Oncetold is not another podcasthosting company. We were built from the ground up using a decade of real-world podcasting experience, endless frustration from using apps bolted together by a tone-deaf industry, and the revolutionary thinking behind Podcasting 2.0 flowing through our culture.
The result was Oncetold -- a podcasting company for storytellers. For those yarn weavers, big dreamers, and true believers who just want to tell a good story.
Oncetold is not another podcast hosting company. We built Oncetold from the ground up using a decade’s worth of real-world podcasting experience and endless frustration from a tone-deaf industry.
Take a lesson from our award-winning American Civil War podcast War Yankee - Overland to see what we do when not building software.
We are operated by principled men and women who honor those who protect, defend, and support our country. We will always honor the stories and history of those who have served.
We don't chase features or worry about the things Big Podcast cares about. We are for the individual storyteller and the small studio. And we plan to stay that way for a long, long time.
We are proving that you don't have to be big to make a big dent in the podcasting universe. We create our own podcasts, invent better ways to produce shows and find ways to take the friction out of podcasting.
We've built sharing into our DNA and made it a core component of our podcast education curriculum. Each course we teach or talk we give is packed with the lessons we've learned from stepping up to the mic.
Want to learn how to podcast at your pace? Listen to us talking about how to podcast in our podcasts Not Easily Squished and Podwrecked.
We've given hundreds of talks at Meetups and Podfest. You can find several of them on our Gagglepod YouTube Channel.
Treating people right is fundamental to how we do business. We treat our customers as we'd want to be treated, strive to have a positive impact on the podcasting world around us, and always aim to give back and keep learning.
Oncetold is our answer to the mess and confusion that exists in today's podcast technology. We always think about the user experience first and design a toolset that works for actual podcasters.
The best business advice we ever got came from Sir Jonathan Ive from Apple who said:
"[I]deas ultimately can be so powerful, they begin as fragile, barely formed thoughts, so easily missed, so easily compromised, so easily just squished."
He taught us that ideas can be very fragile and we must live in between the barely formed ideas and believing in bold, crazy, magnificent ones. Oncetold is a special environment for nurturing and incubating those ideas.
We believe in Sir Ive's statement that we started a podcast about podcast design called Not Easily Squished. Have a listen.
We're also big believers in Business 101. We don't spend more than we earn, we don't waste money on things that don't matter, and we don't give away everything for free. We're in business to stay in business.
From day one, we wanted to create the kind of company that we wanted to do business with ourselves. We act like humans, say we're sorry, and genuinely invest our time in fixing the issue. It's our favorite form of marketing.
We're a tech-savvy company that enjoys the open-source ecosystem. This has made us faster, more secure, and easier to scale. Because open-source is built into the heart of Oncetold, we often give back when we can.
We love sharing our ideas on business, culture, design, and technology with the world. If you'd like to become a customer of Oncetold we'd love to have you!
