Who We Are
Our Mission
It’s simple really, our mission is to help podcasters find and grow their audience.
Our Story
Headliner, like any superhero, has an origin story.
Did we come to Earth on a space pod thing? Were we bitten by a radioactive spider? Did we stand too close to some gamma radiation stuff? No – but trust us, we’re still super cool.
What we know as ‘Headliner’ today is actually a by-product of a social audio app called Sparemin. Sparemin worked by allowing people to record and share interviews. But, not everyone had a video component or wanted to share a full-length interview. People needed a way to share highlights—something visual, short, and engaging.
The solution? Audiograms!
Again, while just a feature within Sparemin, demand for the audiograms quickly grew. As podcasting exploded in popularity, creators needed better tools to promote their shows and reach new listeners. Audiograms gave them a way to do precisely that.
We saw the shift happening in real time. The demand for audio-to-video tools grew quickly, and podcasters were leading the charge. So we pivoted—doubling down on audiograms and reimagining what Sparemin could be.
“Headliner was built with feedback from the podcasting community, and our recent products have all been focused on helping podcasts grow, whether through organic or paid means” – Oliver Wellington, COO & Co-Founder
Since then, we’ve expanded far beyond ‘just’ audiograms, adding tools for transcription, video clipping, and editing—but our mission has stayed the same: to help podcasters grow their audience.
