I love seeing people aggregate podcasting resources! I'd love for you to consider including PodLink on the list!
Paul Mikhaylenko
@nathang I'll def add Podlink. That's a great tool. Would you also consider adding the Listen App to your list of apps on Podlink?

It's really convenient to not have to scan through all the various startups to find tools that are relevant. Product that's really long overdue. Very excited about the community curation.

Hey there PH! 👋 🐈 Paul here, founder @ Listen App. Since we launched our app, as we were neck-deep in podcast-land and realized something: 1. Starting a podcast is similar to launching a startup. Esp. difficult if you don't know anything about audio production and RSS feeds. - How to setup a proper recording environment? (microphones, isolation, software) - How to produce and host the show? (editing, background music, hosting mp3s, analytics, website presence, submitting RSS) - How to manage the operation? (CRM, scheduling, video recording, social) - What is the best way to learn the ropes? (Community, education, blogs) 2. With VC money flowing, there are new podcast startups and tools being created… but not many podcasters know about them. - Podcasters read “expert” blog posts that are 4 years old and get recommended inferior products. - Podcasting tends to be a lonely venture, so you’re not always seeing/hearing about what tools others are using. I was inspired by Startup Stash and decided to create a curated resource directory for podcasters! (btw @bramk thanks for hunting. You inspired a movement with Startup Stash 😜) As I was collecting the tools and resources, The International Podcast Association published a large survey in which they identified this as the #1 want for podcasters. Nope, not ice-cream... But a resource directory! 🍦 Now, several months later, here it is! We’ve hand-curated nearly 200 products into neat categories to help podasters, investors, and people generally interested in the space navigate all of the products and services. If you have any friends who are podcasters... Keep in mind, I’m still adding tools weekly. Subscribe if you’d like me to send you an email with the hottest 🔥 new additions. I really appreciate your feedback and support! Yours truly, Paul CEO & Cofounder of Listen App BTW, we’ve been thinking a ton about the future of audio, how linear audio consumption interfaces with digital screens, social-audio in general, what does the rise of Airpods mean, and how it all potentially ties into podcasting. Feel free to read along! I’m on a mission to understand the core principles of how it all works.
