FAQ
Why is your name spelled Blubrry instead of Blueberry?
In the early 2000’s, when the company was established, it was actually in vogue to drop vowels from names. Since it represents part of our company heritage, we’ve kept it. In case you were wondering… the name is pronounced just like the fruit.
Who is RawVoice?
RawVoice Inc is the name of our company established in 2005. Technically, Blubrry is the brand name, and RawVoice Inc is the company name.
Are you podcasters?
We were podcasters well before we were a company. The Blubrry team is made up of active podcasters who understand the challenges of building a successful show. You can check out our internal podcast called Podcast Insider.
