Knowable is an incredible product with an incredible team. I’ve been extremely impressed with how much the content library has grown. The all you can learn model is the icing on the cake. Excited to see this continue to take off.

Thanks for hunting us @alexisohanian. We've 10x-ed our library since we launched on Product Hunt one year ago, and @abenzer and I are super excited for this new all-you-can-learn offering. We started this company because we could never find the time for long, boring video courses -- with Knowable, you can turn off your screen, put on your headphones, go for a walk, and learn in a structured way from some of the best thinkers and teachers in the world. The library is going really quickly, and the app goes way beyond just content. We're offering Early-Adopter-Club pricing through the end of the year (50% off 2021 prices), but as an extra bonus we'd like to give all hunters an additional 25% off. Just use this code at checkout on the web: PHknows Thanks for checking out Knowable!

A year ago, Knowable launched with a mission to bring online learning to audio. I was excited to lead one of their first audiocourses, “Launch a Startup,” and it’s been great to watch the team produce and publish 100+ hours of exclusive audio since then. All-access memberships bring Knowable one step closer to making independent learning and self-improvement an easy, approachable daily habit for listeners all over the world.

I found Knowable from last year's PH post and instantly fell in love with the idea. When I took my first audiocourse, it was clear they had created something special. The short-format of a podcast + the expertise of several informational audiobooks = *whoa* that's a lot of value. So excited to see the future of this product 🚀 congrats, ?makers!

?makers Congrats on this launch - lot's of new content since your last launch! I see that there is nice mix of personal and professional topics covered - will you be focussing on one over the other moving or both?
Warren Shaeffer
@lanre_akinyemi Thanks! Yes, we hired an amazing head of content who learned audio from OG podcaster Ira Glass at This American Life. We're scaling the library quickly, with a particular focus on professional and career development, personal development, and health/wellness. We've found that people often purchase the professional courses -- like Alexis's course on launching a startup -- but then want to take the other courses too. Now with the all-you-can-learn membership offering, they can do that much more easily. We're in beta with a marketplace offering too, allowing great educators and thinkers from around the world to make and distribute their own courses with Knowable, which will obviously help us offer a more robust library.

Amazing! This mission to bring audio and learning together sits close to me as I have always learned so much from audio books and podcasts personally. Audio absorbs faster and engages me. I think that this will be a huge success and keep growing. Congrats!
Warren Shaeffer
@fannin_seth Thanks so much, Seth!

As someone who listens to 4 to 5 hours of audio content every day, a platform like Knowable is exactly what I’m looking for to keep myself learning and growing. While I still love listening to podcasts for things like current events and sports, nothing beats Knowable as a platform to immerse myself in a new concept and apply it within hours. If you haven’t done so already, go check out the speak with confidence course. Even if you’re a confident public speaker, I guarantee you’ll find a new technique that you never realized you were missing, but now can’t do without.
Warren Shaeffer
@weston_jossey Thank you! Glad you got so much value out of the Speak with Confidence course. It's one of my favorites.

Knowable feels like something that should already exist, but the reality is before the team built it, it didn't! It's both technically well-built and stocked with useful/actionable tutorials. It's like Masterclass, only helpful and not untouchable, only audio not video, and affordable not obscenely overpriced! Ok it's not like Masterclass but you'll be asked if it is if you tell someone about it, so be prepared. :) Looking forward to delving deeper into the catalog!

Incredibly powerful and useful product...if the pandemic has proved anything in education, it's that we are only beginning to rewrite the book on how people learn. Excited to see how Knowable builds from here
Craig
Thanks. Looks really interesting, but I would like to see the prices clearly listed on your site. I know you want to get people to try it out via the free trial, but when there aren't prices listed it is frustrating for the user.
Warren Shaeffer
@craig_zelizer Thanks for your feedback! You can listen to the intro of any course for free. Early-adopter membership pricing starts at $50 for an annual membership or $9 per month.
Craig
@wwshaef Thanks I did sign up for the year. I do prefer as a user if you would like prices somewhere first. Enjoying the platform.

I don't recall how I found Knowable, but I love it. I've taken 4 courses already. I often pair them with my morning run and it's a fantastic way to start the day.
Warren Shaeffer
@laura_willis1 Awesome to hear this! Thanks for letting us know.
