Jon and Justin are still moving forward with Transistor. We're planning to launch in July. But we're being realistic: this could be a slow-growing business. The good news? We're both okay with that. We talked through different funding scenarios – VCs, fund-strapping, bootstrapping – and realized what really matters is building something meaningful with people we like. In the meantime, Justin is exploring a side project called Spots.fm (think Calendly for podcast sponsorships). The plan is to start manually, helping a few podcaster friends fill their ad slots, before we build any software.

Show notes:

• Spots.fm – "what if advertising on a podcast was as easy as advertising on Facebook?"
• Spots.fm/story - the Spots story so far.
• SaaS Your Later
• Derek Sivers - Start now, no funding needed
• Transistor.fm
• Transistor.fm on Instagram
• Transistor.fm on Twitter
• Jon Buda is back on Twitter: @jonbuda
• Justin Jackson on Twitter here: @mijustin
• Give us some love on Breaker, the podcast app for Android and iPhone.
