    Pros:
    I love the Magic Episodes. I'm not a professional podcaster and have never worked in media, but I was able to get started extremely quickly and I'm now closing in on episode 5. Being able to use AI to automagically edit my episodes was fantastic, as I'm not experienced in audio. The virtual studio also makes a natural space for interviewing my guests, and the transcriptions makes editing very easy. It's truly a ton of value for the money I spend on my Pro subscription.
    Cons:
    The platform itself is a bit slow and buggy. I've noticed several issues with Hooks and Show Notes for example. It's still useful, but it can occasionally require some patience where the AI systems have left sharp edges.

    Vendor Response

    Hi Hunter, thank you for the 9/10! We're thrilled that Magic Episodes helped you jump from 0 to 5 episodes so quickly. We appreciate your patience as we refine our AI tools - feedback on 'sharp edges' like Hooks and Show Notes is exactly what helps our team improve. Happy podcasting!

    Cons:
    I wish the backgrounds weren’t a premium feature - even the blur option. The backgrounds that are included don’t seem to track your face well.

    Pros:
    It is so user friendly and makes editing podcast audio a breeze! I love that if you film your podcast via Riverside, it makes high quality reels for you. We've gone viral with a few of the pre-made reels!
    Cons:
    You can't add transition music overlayed in the beginning or end of your podcast. There are some editing options just generally missing from the experience.

    Reasons for choosing Riverside

    Riverside was much easier to use and makes for a quicker editing time.

    Reasons for switching to Riverside

    It was such a complicated process to edit podcasts.

    Vendor Response

    Hi Olivia, congrats on going viral with those reels! That is amazing to hear. We appreciate your feedback on transition music and other missing editing features-we’re constantly adding new tools to make Riverside a one-stop shop for podcasters like you. Thanks for the 10/10!

    I love using Riverside and would highly recommend it for other podcasters. When we first got started, we looked at all the options as far as video and audio editing, publishing, recording, etc., and Riverside is the only place we've found that really streamlines the process and makes it easy for people who don't have a lot of technical experience.

    Pros:
    The process of recording, editing, and publishing all from one platform is a value that's hard to beat. The editing feature is great, and I have found using AI to clean up the audio and making some individual tweaks in the EQ setting is so much faster than trying to do it myself with a different program. I also love how easy it is to do remote podcasts with guests who are far away. Having separate audio tracks for those types of podcasts makes it very easy to get a clean audio, especially when guests aren't using podcast mics or special equipment. I also love the video editing features. We use a DSLR camera for our episodes and sometimes the lighting can look a bit too warm, but editing it in Riverside has been very easy. I can easily insert our static intro and outro music, using transitions that make the entire product look professional from start to finish. Plus, customer service has also been great to us. Anytime we have had questions or issues, it has been dealt with in a timely manner. When we were having an issue with the camera we were using, customer service went above and beyond to figure out what the issue was, and even sent us links to the Sony website to help us find the drivers we needed.
    Cons:
    Sometimes the editing part of the website can be a bit laggy, but that also might have to do with the computer I am using. Some days it is seamless, other days it can be a bit slow to use. But honestly, now that I have a system, even on the days it's not running as quickly, it still doesn't take me very long at all. I end up spending about 30 minutes editing a 1.5 hour podcast, which is great.

    I began using Riverside exclusively for my podcast episode recordings, but it has since become a go-to tool for work I do on the board of the not-for-profit Charles Bruce Foundation. In fact, I often set up Zoom-like meetings with my Riverside link without any intention of recording because it works so well for me.

    Pros:
    I have been using Riverside for a little over a year since starting my podcast. I am blown away by the ability to edit the audio through a transcript that it automatically generates of your recordings, and when I speak about it with others, such as the director of KICI radio in Iowa, they are blown away by this feature. Another recent discovery I made was the ability to do an interview with people from another country, in this case Ukraine, and get a transcript that is automatically translated. While we utilized a professional translator for the interview, the already translated transcript made subtitle work so much easier. Oh, and though I rarely use it, the ability to turn interview participants into muppets through an AI filter was cute. I may utilize that feature in the future for some attention-grabbing social media marketing.
    Cons:
    I have had to be careful to keep some guests on the podcast after the recording was completed to ensure the full feed uploads to get the full quality. While was a bit more of a challenge when recording guests from Ukraine, it generally isn't an issue AND the quality of the podcast is MUCH better in the long run because it is not negatively impacted by wifi streaming drops.

    Vendor Response

    Hi Max, thank you for the incredible review! It’s amazing to hear how you utilized our translation features for your interviews in Ukraine—that is a powerful use case. We’re also glad you’re finding value in using the studio for your non-profit work. Thanks for the 10/10!

    Sometimes it can be a bit glitchy when editing long-form videos, in my experience. I also wish the duplicate feature worked a bit better for magic clips, it usually takes awhile for the duplicate to populate within the project of the original.

    The ability in post production to convert the videos into 1:1, 9:16, or 9:16. This is HUGE for our podcast producer and editing team. Also love the "mark clip" button to be able to go back to that spot and edit.
    Cons:
    Sometimes the video quality is not the best when recording. The talking time before I hit record is perfect, but then I hit record and there is a delay. This does not happen all the time - it is annoying when it does happen.
