# Philosophy App | Lecture Series in Audio | GoodBarber

[https://portalstorage.ww-cdn.com/misc/1718796539026_29-membership_philosophy_thought_vid1_processed.webm](https://portalstorage.ww-cdn.com/misc/1718796539026_29-membership_philosophy_thought_vid1_processed.webm)

Create a philosophy app

# Philosophy app for your public lecture program: every lecture series in audio, by subscription

## Each recorded lecture becomes an episode, each series a section. Listeners play them on the train, pick Spinoza up where they left off, and subscribe to follow every series.

Public lecture program, society or philosophy café: your own app for iPhone and Android, put together without programming, with lectures in audio sorted by series, in-person sessions in the agenda, companion texts, and access to the series by subscription.

[Start for free](https://www.goodbarber.com/create/)

Free 30-day trial - No credit card required

## One series, one listening section

### “Reading Spinoza in six sessions”, episode by episode

Record each lecture and publish it as an audio episode in its series' section: Spinoza, the philosophy of technology, the Stoics. Leave the first session free to listen and reserve the rest for subscribers; when a new series starts, the automatic push tells your listeners as soon as the first episode is online.

## Listen anywhere, even offline

### In the background, with the screen locked, without a connection

In the iOS and Android apps, playback continues when listeners lock their phone or switch to another app. They save a session to listen without a network, on the subway or on a hike, and bookmark the one they want to replay before the next.

## Lectures in the hall

### The session agenda, and a live stream for those far away

List the public sessions in the Agenda: venue, time, speaker, topic. Listeners add them to their phone calendar. For those who live far away, broadcast the lecture as live audio: a live stream stays open to everyone, subscribers or not, then the recording joins the series' reserved section.

### The public lecture program

Thirty lectures a year, lost until now once the hall emptied; recorded, they become the catalog subscribers listen to all year round.

### The philosophy café

The month's theme, the recorded session, the suggested reading: a small association keeps the thread going between meetings.

### The philosophy teacher

Preparing students for exams rather than giving public lectures? Another app is designed for the classroom.

## Three places for thinking, three ways to use the app

Your next series? Put a first session online; you can try the app for 30 days without giving any payment details.

## The texts that go with listening

### Session outline, annotated excerpts, reading list

Next to each episode, publish an article: the lecture outline, the passages read aloud, books to go further, a PDF to download. Reserved like the session, it closes to non-subscribers, PDF included; it is also the text the Chatbot can consult to answer.

## AI, to take the thinking further

What it brings, and at what price.

To discuss

### “What does Spinoza mean by conatus?”

The Chatbot answers from your companion articles, citing the ones it read; it does not listen to the audio, which is why writing each session's outline pays off.

$35/month

To review

### An end-of-series quiz

Ask the AI Extension Builder for a section of questions on the series' concepts; it generates it in the back office, and you adjust the wording.

Free

To publish

### Summaries drafted by the assistant

Give your notes to Claude or ChatGPT, connected to the app's MCP server: it draws the session article from them and waits for your approval to put it online.

Included

## The price of a lecture app

iPhone and Android apps require the Premium plan, to which Memberships is added; with Pro, it is already there. Audio episodes are hosted in the app and take up room in the storage space your plan provides.

| **Premium** · native apps and web app | $55 /month, billed yearly  |
| ------------------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| + Memberships, on Premium             | $49 /month                 |
| **Pro** · Memberships included        | $105 /month, billed yearly |

GoodBarber keeps no share of subscription revenue; the stores deduct their fee, typically 15%.

## Philosophy app: organizers' questions

**### Can we sell a single series?**

No: the subscription opens everything that is reserved, with a single access level. You choose the duration (monthly, yearly or both) and can offer a free trial period.

**### Can we give access to speakers and volunteers?**

Yes: in the back office, you give each of them a free subscription, for as long as you choose; other listeners subscribe in the app.

**### Can a live lecture be reserved for subscribers?**

No, a live broadcast is open to all listeners, subscribed or not. What you reserve is the recording, published afterwards in the series' section.

**### How many sessions do we need to start?**

The subscription requires at least ten reserved items: two series of five sessions will do, once the web app is live on your domain name.

**### Can entry to in-person lectures be paid in the app?**

No: in-app purchase sells access to the app's content, not a seat in a hall. Ticketing for your evenings stays yours.

**### Which plan for a lecture program?**

Premium and Memberships, or Pro, which contains it. The Standard plan produces a web app with no subscription.
