Is there a specific strategy/app you use to discover completely new podcasts?

@aalexlion really? their recommendations are working for you?
@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?
@santosh_sendha @angrigoryan__ the recommendations are useless in my opinion. BUT, the search functionality is effective.
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
I honestly discover via recommendations of friends/peers. No other recommendation engine so far has been good enough
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.
Let the podcast platforms recommend you, looks like they know better. Just kidding, but true for most 🤫
Soon hopefully with Kradl.io 😉
moonbeam.fm using that for podcast discovery.
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.
Believe it or not, I discovered many podcasts thanks to the YouTube platform. Some creators make content on other channels (duplicating the content to gain more followers, subscribers, listeners etc.). Also, I know about some podcasts thanks to reading books (as the source of information).
Usually through Youtube recommendations. For some reason Spotify recommendations does not work for me.
I recognize about it on Twitter or Youtube with a subscription to my favourite artists
By asking people I admire.
I don't find the suggestions from apps that I use that great so prefer to get recommendations from friends / colleagues.
I typically use twitter!
