CampfireFM Information

With CampfireFM we are not only building a social layer for podcasts, but we are creating the first real dedicated podcast ecosystem that unites distribution, discovery, community, and monetization for podcasters and their core audience. Podcasting creates this wonderful, loyal para-social relationship between creators and their core audience. But it is eerily hinged. Fans cannot really participate or interact with each other. And creators cannot easily make a living of their fandoms. We are going to change that. CampfireFM turns Listening into Participation. Our app functions as an enhanced podcast player. It makes podcast episodes interactive. It creates a home for podcasts' communities and it keeps podcasts alive inbetween episodes. After our beta testing phase in 2025 – with some of the biggest podcasts in Germany ("Baywatch Berlin", "Einfach mal Luppen", "Apokalypse & Filterkaffee", "Geschichten aus der Geschichte") – we will in 2026 open the app for many more podcasters and their communities in Germany, add subscription and payment features, enhance community interaction, social sharing, discovery and recommendation. We are backed by podcasters like Felix & Toni Kroos, Klaas Heufer-Umlauf, Micky Beisenherz and many others. We are serial entrepreneurs, builders and podcast producers ourselves. And we are looking for other podcast fans, podcasters, entrepreneurs and builders who want to join us – building the missing ecosystem for podcasters and their core audiences out there.
