The Weekly Indie Hacker Product Updates Podcast You’ve Been Looking For

If you’re an indie hacker, you know the hustle: code, design, market, support, repeat. You’re moving fast, testing ideas, launching products, and trying to carve out something real—with no roadmap except your own instincts.

You probably also know how hard it is to stay consistent. To build every week. To ship every week.

That’s where Built This Week comes in — the weekly indie hacker product updates podcast that delivers honest, in-the-trenches progress from real builders. No filters. No founders posturing after the fact. Just shipping, sharing, and repeating.

Why Weekly Product Updates Matter for Indie Hackers

The core of the indie hacker mindset is iteration. You build small, launch fast, and improve constantly. But it’s hard to stay in motion alone.

That’s why a podcast that shares weekly product updates — in real time — is so useful. It gives you:

• A sense of momentum
• Insight into what other makers are building
• Realistic timelines and outcomes
• Accountability-by-proxy (even if you’re building solo)

Think of Built This Week as your weekly check-in with the rest of the indie world. What are people launching? What tools are they using? What’s working?

We answer that — fast, and without fluff.

What You Get Every Week

Each episode of Built This Week includes:

• What we built this week – Real product progress, shipped in the last 7 days. Features, MVPs, launches, redesigns, pricing tests—you name it.
• Tool of the Week – A product, platform, or API that helped us build smarter or faster.
• News that matters – Startup, tech, and AI updates that are actually relevant to indie hackers.

It’s a tight 10–15 minutes that leaves you with new ideas and a shot of builder energy.

Built by Indie Hackers, for Indie Hackers

We created Built This Week because we wanted to hear real-time progress, not just polished stories years after the fact.

We wanted to know:

• How are people validating ideas this week?
• What’s breaking during launch?
• Which tools are saving time?
• What does “building in public” really look like today?

You’ll hear all of that in the podcast—shared by founders who are in the arena, still learning, still testing, still building.

And we’re not just talking about our own work—we feature updates and builds from across the indie hacker community too.

Momentum Is Contagious

When you hear someone else ship something simple, it reminds you that you don’t have to overthink your next move. You just have to keep going.

The point of this podcast isn’t to impress you. It’s to remind you that you’re not alone—and that small, weekly product updates are often the thing that leads to big wins down the line.
