'''Relay FM''' is a [[podcast]] network covering a diverse range of subjects including pens, video games, mobile app development, entrepreneurship, and productivity. It was founded 18 August 2014<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.extras.relay.fm/blog/2015/8/4/a-year-of-relay |title=A year of Relay}}</ref> by [[Myke Hurley]] and Stephen M.

Over the course of 2015, many podcasts moved under the Relay FM network and added to the diversity of the hosts and topics. Christina Warren, Brianna Wu, and Simone de Rochefort from ''Rocket''; Aleen Simms from ''Less Than or Equal''; Tom Gerhardt and Dan Provost from ''Studio Neat''; Yasmine Evjen, [[Andy Ihnatko]], and Russell Ivanovic from ''Material''; and David Sparks and Katie Floyd from ''Mac Power Users'' all joined the network or started new shows since Relay FM's inception.
When the podcast network launched, it had five shows: ''Analog(ue)'', ''Connected'', ''Inquisitive'', ''The Pen Addict'', and ''Virtual''.<ref name="techcrunch-20150818"/> Today, there are 27 live shows on the network, in addition to the extra B-Sides podcast consisting of before and after show snippets, two paid members only shows, and seven retired shows (five of which have been replaced by similar programs, while one of those replacements has itself ended).<ref name="techcrunch-20150818"/><ref name="forbes">{{cite web|title=9 Tech Podcasts So Addictive, Your Friends Should Start Planning The Intervention|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/dailymuse/2015/08/25/9-tech-podcasts-so-addictive-your-friends-should-start-planning-the-intervention/|website=[[Forbes]]|accessdate=15 February 2016}}</ref>
