FlowPrompter + Riverside.fm
Your podcast outline, right on top of your recording studio.
FlowPrompter helps Riverside hosts keep the episode structure visible without shuffling notes or breaking eye contact with a guest. Put interview questions, sponsor reads, intros, and closing CTAs in the prompt. Riverside usually records your camera and microphone, not your entire desktop, so the prompt stays off the final video; if you share or record your screen, turn on Window Privacy before the take.
