Long conversations, written down

Fireside shows tend to run long. The transcript keeps every tangent findable.

The feed is the shortcut

Fireside shows the RSS address of each podcast so listeners can subscribe; copy it, paste it here and pick the episode, and the audio is fetched without a download. For an episode still being edited, upload the MP3 or WAV from your computer instead.

Long episodes, one file

A conversation show that runs past two or three hours is still one upload; a file can last up to 10 hours or weigh 5 GB. Uploads go up to 5 GB per file, far above a typical MP3 episode. A linked episode is never uploaded at all.

A season, worked out

Packs start at $4 for 300 minutes, and credits never expire. One episode needs only the $4 pack.

Notes for every episode page

Each episode returns a brief, timestamped chapters for the episode notes, the names and links mentioned on air, and the questions the conversation answered. The chat finds the minute a listener question was answered. Music and sound effects are skipped; the speech is transcribed. Send the next one from upload page.

Long episodes, thin notes

Two-hour conversations deserve more than a three-line description.

00:00:52 We said this would be a short one, and we both know that's not true.

00:22:17 A listener wrote in asking how we pick topics, so let's answer that first.

00:49:30 The tool I keep coming back to is a plain notebook, honestly.

01:13:05 We'll put the article we keep quoting in the episode notes.

01:38:44 That's the show; thanks for sticking with us for the whole conversation.

FAQ

Fireside episodes, answered.

Can I paste my Fireside feed?

Yes. Paste the show's RSS feed and choose the episode; the audio is fetched on our side. An unreleased episode goes in as an uploaded file. A live-recorded episode with audience questions keeps them in the transcript, and the brief lists the questions the hosts answered.

How long does a 100-minute episode take?

About 3.5 minutes, since each hour of audio takes roughly 2. A 3-hour episode takes about 6. If the published episode has ads read by the hosts, those are speech and stay in the text; trim them from the export if needed.

What does a season cost?

Twenty-six 100-minute episodes are 2,600 minutes, which fit the $18 pack of 3,000 minutes. Fifteen episodes, 1,500 minutes, fit the $18 pack of 3,000. The opening minutes are a free preview. Credits never expire, so a show that takes a summer break keeps its balance for the autumn.

Do I connect my Fireside account?

No. There is no integration or sign-in; we read the public feed or the file you upload, and your Fireside site stays exactly as it is.

Are the hosts named?

Hosts and guests are identified and named in the summary, key quotes and chapters, which is what most episode notes need.

Which languages and exports, and is my audio private?

Any of 99 languages, detected automatically. Exports are TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON. Episodes are transcribed on our own servers and never used for training, and you can delete them at any time.

Paste the Fireside feed. Your recording starts with a free preview of its opening minutes.
