FortifyCast, podcast hosting and live audio rooms for independent creators

FortifyCast is a podcast and live-audio platform built for the next generation of independent creators. Publish full episodes, go live with your community in a single tap, chat with listeners in real time, and earn directly from the people who love your work. Free to start, works on the web, installs as a PWA on iPhone, and ships as a native Android app.

What FortifyCast is

FortifyCast is an independent podcast platform headquartered in Accra, Ghana, serving creators and listeners around the world. It combines four things that usually live in four different apps: a podcast host, a live audio room, a listener community, and a payments layer for creators. You can record and publish an episode, schedule a live conversation, run a poll during that live session, take a call-in guest from the audience, save the recording as a permanent episode, and receive a coin gift from a listener, all inside the same app on your phone.

For listeners

Discover shows by category, follow the creators you love, get a push notification the moment they go live, and pick up any episode exactly where you left off across devices. Downloaded episodes play offline. Playback continues when your screen is off or you switch apps. If you want to say thank you to a creator, a small coin tip goes directly to them.

For creators

Set up a show in a couple of minutes, upload an episode from your phone or your computer, or record straight into the app. When you're ready to talk to your audience live, tap Go Live, invite up to ten speakers on stage, and start. Sessions are recorded automatically. You can save the best moments as permanent episodes or short shareable clips. Listeners can gift coins during the session and follow up with direct messages afterwards.

How the coin economy works

FortifyCast is denominated in Ghana cedis. One coin equals one pesewa, or GH₵ 0.01. Listeners buy coin packs and spend them on gifts during live rooms or on episode pages. Creators withdraw earnings to mobile money or a Ghanaian bank account once they reach the payout minimum. Live hosting is billed per participant-minute in small fractions of a cent, so a two-hour room with a handful of speakers costs a few US cents in total.

Platforms
