LUCI Live
A cross platform app that streams studio quality two way audio over the internet, popular with radio reporters and used by some podcasters for remote links.
PodStack editorial · Product research. How we review tools
LUCI Live streams two way, high quality audio over IP using established broadcast codecs, built by Technica Del Arte for reporters and broadcasters who need dependable studio quality connections in the field.
It's used by outlets like the BBC and NPR for remote reporting, and podcasters with one foot in radio sometimes adopt it for the same reason, reliable audio quality over ordinary internet connections rather than a consumer video call.
Setting up a point to point connection takes more technical understanding than clicking a shared link, both sides need the app configured correctly, which is a real barrier for less technical collaborators.
A strong option for reporters and hybrid radio podcast operations who value connection reliability over ease of use, not the right tool for a first time podcaster's simple remote interview.
