Two minutes or less. Your voice. Your story. The world‘s ears.
BOYCE, Va., Sept. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Today marks the public announcement of Gistvox, a first-of-its-kind social audio platform designed to bring humanity back to digital storytelling—in two minutes or less.
Just voices. Just stories. Shared the way they’ve always been—human to human. A space to listen. A space to be heard.
The Democratization of Voice
For centuries, our stories were filtered through publishers, broadcasters, and editors—and now, algorithms. Social media promised to give everyone a voice, but today, much of what we see and hear is shaped by systems built to capture attention, not foster understanding.
Gistvox changes that. It puts people back in charge, allowing them to decide what they listen to and how they share their own voices. From breaking news to personal reflections, Gistvox delivers stories that matter—short, unfiltered, and free from the noise of traditional feeds.
The Creator Experience
Recording on Gistvox is as natural as speaking. Open the app, tap record, and share your voice in two minutes or less.
Creators have full control over how their stories are shared:
- Select your audience — reach as broadly or as privately as you choose.
- Set a story lifespan — keep content evergreen or make it disappear after a set time.
- Collaborate and connect — build communities through public or private groups.
- Create chapters — stitch together a series of stories into a larger narrative.
It’s storytelling at its simplest—fast, flexible, and designed to fit the way you create.
Radio Reinvented
Gistvox turns listening into a seamless, personalized experience—like your own private radio station. Instead of endless scrolling or irrelevant noise, you hear only the voices and stories that matter to you, flowing effortlessly from one to the next.
As a listener, you can:
- Discover new voices by topic, mood, or location.
- Curate your feed by following friends, creators, and communities.
- Save favorites in folders to revisit anytime.
- Share meaningfully with friends or groups—no likes, no clutter.
Listening becomes intentional and effortless—a modern, on-demand radio built entirely around you.
Why Now
Audio is booming. Screen fatigue is high. Trust in filtered, AI-generated content is plummeting. The human voice remains the most intimate, authentic medium—and Gistvox is built to harness it.
“Gistvox was born from my greatest fear—public speaking—and my greatest love: storytelling,” says Abram Olmstead, Founder of Gistvox.
“We‘ve created a space where voices can rise above the noise—where brevity amplifies meaning and story replaces spectacle.”
About Gistvox
Gistvox is a voice-first social platform that reimagines how stories are shared and heard. Every Gist is two minutes or less, designed to cut through the noise and focus on clarity, authenticity, and connection.
With no algorithms dictating what you hear and no clutter to distract you, Gistvox is where voices take center stage—and listeners rediscover the meaning of paying attention.
