Rumble Studio

What Rumble Studio does

Rumble Studio SAS is a Paris-based SaaS company that builds a web-based asynchronous podcasting platform used by companies, agencies, and individual creators to produce audio content at scale without real-time scheduling. The core product is the 'Take Turns' Audio Recorder, which lets a host write questions and invite guests who record and re-record audio responses on their own time; the host then assembles episodes through a drag-and-drop, segment-based editor with a text-first Script View. The platform is delivered as an Angular-based progressive web application accessible on any major browser, with no installation required and no account needed for guests, which is the structural source of the product's ease-of-use advantage.

Underlying the recorder is a contextual AI question-generation engine (the Scripting Wizard) that produces follow-up questions based on prior guest responses, plus automatic transcription, text-to-speech for accessibility, and a templates and jingles library. An open-source web player-recorder package (@rumblestudio/player-service on npm) extends the recording component to customer websites, supporting both self-serve use and embedded playback. A 2022 release added video recording and white-label custom domain support, expanding the platform beyond audio-only branded podcasts.

Rumble Studio monetises through a freemium SaaS subscription with monthly or annual billing and no credit card required to start, distributed via self-serve sign-up on app.rumble.studio with a sales-assisted 'Book a Demo' path for larger accounts. Its three target segments are corporate marketing and communications teams (branded podcasts, thought leadership), agencies producing podcasts for multiple clients, and individual podcasters seeking to avoid podfade. The company was founded in 2020, has operated with a team of fewer than ten, and is venture-backed at the pre-seed stage, with ~€250K raised including BPI France and Cap Digital Deep Tech grants.

Core offering

Rumble Studio is a SaaS web platform that lets hosts create podcast and audio content through asynchronous "take turns" interviews, where guests record audio, video, and text responses in their own time without requiring real-time scheduling. The platform serves companies, agencies, and individual podcasters with segment-based audio capture, drag-and-drop editing, automatic transcription, AI-assisted question generation, templates, white-labelling, and unlimited guests per interview, accessed via any modern browser with no installation.

Product overview

Rumble Studio is a SaaS audio content creation platform built around asynchronous podcast interviews. Its core offering is the Asynchronous Interview system, powered by the Take Turns™ Audio Recorder, which enables hosts to create interview content at scale without real-time scheduling. The platform is structured as a unified SaaS with several integrated modules: Transcriptions (automatic speech-to-text), Templates & Jingles (pre-built question templates and audio jingles), Text & Image Capture (multimedia guest submissions), and Branding & White Labelling (custom domain and brand identity support). A Script View text-first editor was introduced in 2021 to replace the original WhatsApp-style block interface. The platform targets companies, agencies, and individual podcasters, offering tiered pricing plans with a free trial and no credit card required.
