Managing and running a podcast is a lot of work. You have scheduling, announcing, writing, scripting, file management, workflows to follow, ideas to generate, and all sorts of other things. Aside from recording and publishing, we manage the entire process of producing the podcast using Basecamp. This video shows you how.

Do you ever forget to read, review or respond to something? Basecamp can help! Check out one of our newest features in Basecamp 4, don't forget!

A raw, unedited conversation between two 37signals' two co-founders, Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson, about a recent decision they made on trying a new pricing model for Basecamp 4. They discuss the decision to try a new pricing model, some of the reasons behind the decision, the tradeoffs inherent in making a decision like this, how it only applies to new customers rather than existing customers, the value of timeboxing experiments, and a variety of other topics.

So complicated. Doesn't need to be.

New in Basecamp 4 is the Card Table tool, our take on Kanban. Not content just doing what everyone else has done, we've layered in a number of practical, everyday, common sense improvements and innovations that eliminate a number of hacks people usually have to deal with to get Kanban to do what they want.

It's a lot right? But it doesn't have to be.

Brand new in Basecamp 4 is The Lineup — a great way to get a bird's eye view of all the projects that are currently in play. Know who's working on what, how much time has passed, and how much time is left. You'll also get to see projects that haven't started yet, and stuff that's recently finished. It's an especially wonderful, visual view for managers who need to stay on top of stuff without staying on top of people.

We just had a full-company IRL meetup in Amsterdam, and used Basecamp to organize and manage the whole thing. In this video, I walk you through our actual account and actual project to show you how we set it up. Basecamp's really great for managing events like this — I hope you find it illuminating.

There's really too much to cover in a single video, but I tried to pack a lot into this one! From an all-new home page, to the Card Table, to participation types, to the Lineup, to this and that, Basecamp just got a whole lot better. There's never been a better time to give Basecamp a try.
