Podcast: Breaking Points
Hosts: Saagar Enjeti and Krystal Ball
What’s it about: An anti-establishment American news show that brings together views from the left and right sides of the political spectrum
For 3 years, Krystal and Saagar’s skeptical but inclusive approach to politics attracted a large, diverse audience to their YouTube show called Rising—but editorial control belonged entirely to The Hill, a D.C.-based political newspaper. Breaking Points was the duo’s vehicle for going independent, and they partnered with Supercast to make it happen.
Supercast partnered with Breaking Points to refine their messaging and build a premium program that reflected the diversity of the audience and created multiple entry points, including monthly, annual, and lifetime subscriptions.
Initially, the revenue from the lifetime memberships gave Krystal and Saagar the confidence to hire a full production team for their show. The consistency of direct fan support allows them to continually invest in show production, which in turn, expands their audience.
“When I first saw Supercast, I couldn’t believe how easy it was for listeners. For us as creators, Supercast’s ability to deliver premium content to any podcast player, plus their backend payment processing and analytics, has been completely invaluable. They were by far the best platform we looked at — we couldn’t have launched this subscription program, with this much success, any other way.” - Saagar Enjeti
