Love the idea! A really necessary tool for these days of so many great Podcasts around. I like being able to find great EPISODES, not necessarily channels, as you mentioned in your introduction here.
As someone that sees myself as a potential user of this project I miss having some indication of what are the general topics by those channels. I mean, I'm really tired to technology and startup themed podcasts, so I've been avoiding those. But looking at your website I'd have to read all the descriptions of all the episodes to have an idea of which of them have this theme. A very simple tags system could really help - just like we've here in PH :) But maybe the tags could be attached to the podcast channel... dunno.
Moreover I think a better design could make you guys stand more and reach wider audiences. Right now my candid feedback is it looks very amateur, not matching the quality of the idea ;)
@cmdalbem Thank you so much for this feedback and excitement for the product! So glad that you liked it, and hopefully we can keep on improving

This product is super helpful, as an avid podcast listeners this is a great way to expand the breath content I listen to! How are you determining what podcasts to feature for users to then vote on or does the community suggest podcasts that are then voted on?
@rohan_trivedi1 love that its helpful! and we're getting suggestions by the community through a simple typeform. We wanted to keep it quick and easy for now.. we have a future idea to have users directly share/copy+paste a podcast link to a submission tool and have the podcast title, description, etc. automatically scrapped. basically just a quicker workflow.
if you have anything good you listened to recently, shoot it into the Nominations! :D https://polypods.typeform.com/to...

Congrats on launching! I personally have felt problem a bunch of times where I know that a channel I wouldn't normally listen to might have a handful of episodes I'd want to give a listen. How do you plan on fostering a community on the platform?

Love this right now! Will there be categories? I the type to segment my podcasts into news, business, random.
@a_shrestha1 we might venture into categories in the future if enough interest but for this version, we wanted to keep it pretty close to "random" as possible.. That is why we chose to be episode-centric. So people can take a short break from their "go-to" categories and enjoy a one-off episode about... fishing? or cooking? or video games? lots of good content out there! :)

YES PLEASE! Community boosted podcast ideas should help connect listeners and skilled professionals to discuss the ideas that the community wants to hear. Can't wait to see what Polypods has to bring!
