ON AIR Live on syndicated radio, every Saturday

Put callers on air.
From any browser.

ScreenerMax is the call screener console for podcasters, streamers, and talk radio. Screen callers, type up their story, and put them on air with one click - from a laptop in the studio or a phone at the lake. No rack hardware. No dead Flash interfaces. No studio required.

What it does

Everything the Old Hardware Did. From Anywhere.

ScreenerMax replaces the aging call screener box and the rack of codecs behind it with one browser console your whole crew shares.

Screen

Caller cards, not sticky notes

Name, location, topic, and screener notes on every line - typed once, visible to the host instantly. The host never airs a mystery caller again.

Queue

Callers hear the show, not hold music

Screened callers wait in the broadcast bridge, muted, listening to the live program. When they hit air, they're already in the conversation.

Air

One click on, one click off

Hold, air, park, drop. Mix-minus is automatic, so callers hear everything except themselves. No feedback, no echo, no board-op gymnastics.

Together

The whole crew, in sync

Host in one state, screener in another, producer on the road - everyone sees the same queue update live, with a private crew chat built in.

Hardware optional

Stream Deck ready

Every control is a simple endpoint, so physical buttons work if you want them. But a browser tab is the only requirement.

Coming

AI screening when your screener's out

Flip one switch and ScreenerMax answers, greets callers, captures name and topic, and queues them with a written summary and a suggested talking point.

The story

Born in a Real Radio Studio

ScreenerMax wasn't dreamed up on a whiteboard. It was built for a nationally syndicated talk radio show - broadcast on FM in Washington, D.C. and on SiriusXM - when the studio's hardware call screener died and its replacement cost looked like a used car.

The screener is in Florida. The host is in Virginia. The co-host runs his side from a truck camper in Washington State. Every Saturday, ScreenerMax puts their callers on the air anyway.

We rebuilt the whole thing in software: the screening console, the caller queue, the on-air bridge. Then we realized every podcaster and live streamer who takes calls has the same problem - and none of them want to buy broadcast rack gear to solve it.

How it works

Three Steps to Live Callers

1

Your audience calls in

Callers dial your show's number or click your call-in link - whichever fits your show and your audience.

2

Your screener queues them

A quick chat, a typed caller card, and one click to hold. The caller waits hearing your live show, not elevator music.

3

The host clicks AIR

The caller joins the conversation with clean audio in both directions. Off air, park, or drop - all one click.

Early access

Founding Shows Wanted

ScreenerMax is in early access. Founding shows get white-glove setup from the team that built it, direct input on the roadmap, and founding-show pricing locked in. In exchange, we want your honest feedback - the kind that makes the product better before the doors open wide.

No spam, no list-selling. A real person replies - usually the same day.
