I was just thinking that I wish I could get recommendations for episodes of podcasts. This seems to do the trick! Looking forward to using it.
A lot of people are tired of relying on iTunes to discover new podcasts. iTunes seems to favour the big shows, often neglecting the smaller podcasters. As as a podcaster, it’s really hard to grow your audience. For the past 3 years, I’ve been trying to grow my audience for Dorm Room Tycoon (http://drt.fm). It’s hard.
So we at Panda Network (http://panda.network) want to solve this problem.
Podcast Gift is a place to share and discover interesting episodes. The focus is on episodes, not podcasts. Sometimes you just want to listen to the best episodes. The goal with Podcast Gift is to build a tight knit community for podcast listeners and podcasters, where we can all upvote, share and engage in a conversation around a particular episode.
If you’re a fellow podcaster - email me: william.channer@gmail.com. I have some interesting stuff to share with you.
Big thanks to the following:
@ahmetsulek, @ozkanbugra, @ErikBison, @jasonmcamps, @jasecoop, @sachagreif and @verybadhello
@williamchanner well done William! I'm really excited about this. I assumed that you would just go after newly created podcasts instead of episodes, but I think the episodes approach is probably the right one. When will we be able to listen to the episodes right from podcast.gift? 😉
@williamchanner as a podcaster it's helpful to have another way to promote my interviews. Thanks for building this.
@williamchanner second those sentiments. As a new podcaster - always looking to grow audiences not only for mine but for podcasting as a whole, great idea and look forward to partaking!
You can also join to the conversation on Slack by requesting invite from http://slack.podcast.gift/
I love that you focused on the episodes of a podcast, not the podcast as a whole. Topics vary from episode to episode, especially podcasts that are interview based.
Not to mention the quality of each episode varies a lot too, so highlighting the good ones is a great idea!
Podcast discovery needs a better system so hopefully you guys can help fill that void!
Looks familiar ;) Perhaps we should join forces.
In case you don't know what I'm talking about, I made this a while ago with a friend: http://podcatsapp.com/
@nielsjonathan But that's Apple only. Android users don't have any way of getting podcast recommendations, not even for whole shows like on iTunes.
The emphasis on episodes is so needed. This is a great idea although I think it needs to be integrated into a Podcasting app. I wrote about this concept last week on my blog http://joshturansky.com/where-is...
I love the focus on individual episodes as well. There are so many podcasts out there, it's nice to know what the consensus best episodes are before diving in to a new podcast. Once people start tagging episodes in specific and highly relevant ways, this will become the best place to go for podcast discovery or to learn more about highly specific topics.
