The Build-in-Public Podcast Indie Makers Have Been Waiting For

If you’ve ever posted a launch tweet, shared your MRR graph, or opened up about your product struggles on a forum—you already know what it means to build in public.

It’s not about showing off. It’s about showing up—week after week, with messy progress, honest updates, and a willingness to share your process so others can learn, connect, and stay motivated.

And now, there’s finally a podcast that captures that rhythm.

Welcome to Built This Week—the build-in-public podcast made for indie makers.

Why Build in Public Still Works (Even in 2025)

In a world of AI-powered launches and overnight hype cycles, transparency is still your greatest differentiator. Sharing your process makes your product relatable. It builds trust. It invites feedback. And it connects you with an audience who wants to root for you—not just buy from you.

But building in public can feel lonely—especially if you’re doing it solo.

That’s why Built This Week exists.

It’s not a founder interview show. It’s a real-time product journal. A builder’s feed. A weekly check-in with other indie makers who are pushing through bugs, iterating on ideas, and launching small (but meaningful) things in public.

What You’ll Hear on the Podcast

Each episode of Built This Week is under 15 minutes, and follows a simple but powerful structure:

• What we built this week — Real product updates from real indie projects: MVPs, features, pivots, launches, even flops.
• Tool of the Week — A product or API that helped us ship faster. Always tested in a real workflow.
• News that matters — Startup, AI, and tech updates curated for indie makers (no hype, just signal).

It’s the audio version of a build-in-public tweet thread—tight, raw, and immediately actionable.

The Value of Building in Public (Out Loud)

One of the biggest benefits of building in public is accountability. Another is clarity.

When you know you’ll be talking about your progress each week—whether it’s in a tweet, a post, or a podcast episode—you make faster decisions. You focus on momentum. You stop waiting for “perfect.”

That’s what we model on Built This Week:

• Shipping before we’re ready
• Sharing learnings in real time
• Naming the tools we used (and the ones that didn’t work)
• Talking openly about what didn’t land

We don’t polish the story after the fact. We tell it while it’s happening.

Who It’s For

This podcast is for:

• Indie hackers who post their builds on X or Hacker News
• SaaS founders who are bootstrapping their way to revenue
• Solo devs building AI tools, side projects, or microstartups
• Creators who are launching fast and iterating publicly
• Anyone tired of startup podcasts that only tell the story after the win

Whether you’re shipping to 10 users or prepping for your first $10K launch, you’ll find something in these episodes that helps you keep going—and building out loud.

Why Listeners Love It

We regularly hear from makers who say:

• “It’s the only podcast that actually reflects where I am.”
• “I ship more consistently when I listen each week.”
• “I’ve discovered better tools in 10 minutes than I did in a month on Twitter.”
• “It’s like a mini indie hacker standup call.”

It’s not about being impressive. It’s about being in motion.
