Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Timestamps stay in sync with the live audio

So today we're releasing a special live episode of the show. It's my conversation with Paul Davison and Rohan Seth, co-founders of the social media app Clubhouse. I spoke with Paul and Rohan back in April for a how I built this live event that we did on Clubhouse. Now If you don't know what Clubhouse is, that may be because you choose to ignore news, and that's okay, no judgment. But basically it's a social media app, but in audio format. Clubhouse allows people to gather in audio chat rooms to discuss anything from sports to politics to networking. And currently the app has over ten million users.

Clubhouse launched in March of twenty twenty, just as the pandemic began shutting things down. The timing couldn't have been better since there was a newfound demand for people to connect virtually. Paul Rohan officially started working on what would eventually become Clubhouse a year earlier in 2019. It was the first business they ever worked on together, which is surprising because before that They kind of lived parallel lives.

Both attended Stanford for undergrad and grad school. Both spent time working at Google, and both started social media apps that were eventually acquired. The first place their path could have crossed was at Stanford. Rohan came to the US from India and was getting his undergraduate degree in computer science. And Paul was trying to break into the startup world while he was at Stanford's graduate school of business.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is 1 credit.

We already have this episode, so unlocking it is cheap and permanent: the full transcript, segment and word-level timestamps, and .txt, .srt, .vtt and word-level JSON downloads, as many times as you like, forever.

10 free credits is 10 episodes like this one a month. Episodes nobody has transcribed yet cost their length in hours, because we have to actually transcribe them.
