How do you discover new podcasts?

@aalexlion really? their recommendations are working for you?

Alexandre Lion @aalexlion

@angrigoryan__ Yes, it's based on what you already listened and I find their discovery algorithm really relevant for me.

Google Podcast

@santosh_sendha and recommendations work for you?

Abraham Samma @absamma

@santosh_sendha @angrigoryan__ the recommendations are useless in my opinion. BUT, the search functionality is effective.

John McTavish @john__mct

Mostly find new shows after their hosts are guests on shows I already listen to. I'd say ~75% of my subscriptions happened this way. Others are a mix of social media sources: - Smb I follow starts a podcast - Smb recommends a certain episode Pain points: Finding shows via search for a specific guest. For example, if I hear somebody interesting as a guest on a show, and want to find more shows they've been on.

@john_mctavish1 so like seeing someone's audio resume? :D

Swapnil Vats @swapnil_vats

I honestly discover via recommendations of friends/peers. No other recommendation engine so far has been good enough

Maxwell Davis @maxwellcdavis

Usually through guests to be honest

@maxwellcdavis oh interesting. Guests on other shows? Or people you follow are going on podcasts and you find the podcast as a result?

From the recommendations and YouTubers.

NotANoob @notanoob

i just wait for Youtube to suggest new podcasts to me, they do know me better than anyone else anyway sooo....

Clement Surry @clement862

Let the podcast platforms recommend you, looks like they know better. Just kidding, but true for most 🤫

Karen Tamrazyan @karentamrazyan

Soon hopefully with Kradl.io 😉

Muhammad Haseeb @iammhaseeb

I use this app called the “podcast app” it has tab on the podcasts profile that shows you related podcasts. Also I’m very much into podcasts to the point where I listen podcasts that talk about other podcasts.

I used to use a app called Podz where it use to play a small clips of random podcasts. This is the place I use to find some thing interesting to listen to. Spotify eat them and didn’t get anything out of it yet. I find it hard to go on any regular podcast app discovery section and look for something new.
