With the ever increasing presence of social media in today’s world people are able to communicate and share ideas faster than ever before. It is a fascinating time that pushes news and media away from traditional outlets. Among this trend is the app Bumpers. Started by Jacob Thornton and Ian Ownbey, 30, and 26, Bumpers is an app that allows any user to create their own individual podcast, with no additional set up required. No longer do you need expensive recording equipment or a knowledge of where to upload your podcast, all you need is an i phone. Simply download the app and anyone is on their way to releasing the latest and most popular podcast. All of the recorded podcasts are hosted on the app, which creates “great distribution and solve the discovery problem by keeping things in network” says Ownbey. The duo are no strangers to the social media world, as the Twitter alums have already raised over $1 million in funding from investors. This is a great example of young entrepreneurs who are continuing their success and changing the market as they go.
