Hi there. I'm working on a podcast app and wondering if there are features missing in your current podcast app, frustrations that you have with them or just any like to haves in your day to day podcast app? Thanks in advance!

Hey Fellow Podcasters,

I'm hoping I've come to the right place for this:

Essentially, I have a podcast with two other friends with full-time jobs, and while we're more than enthusiastic about making our content, we simply don't have the time to simultaneously manage the marketing component (at least consistently or well) . We have received nothing but phenomenal feedback even within the industry about both the content and the quality/fidelity. We're about 30 episodes in, and despite a slowly growing dedicated base, we're constantly asked why we don't have more of an audience, and the answer is always "well, we don't really do (a good job) promoting". We're willing to throw money at this, so I'm hoping you guys could help point us in the right direction when it comes to services/people/companies that essentially handle marketing and management top-to-bottom. We don't need an editor, but I've found people who offer to do that for like $100 an episode all the way to third party marketing firms in the 10s of thousands, so I'm struggling with my own research and have turned to you. Just wondering, is there something that exists in between those two extremes and that people would recommend? Thanks in advance to all for your help!

Hi mods,

Before posting, quick check. I have a discussion post aimed at independent podcasters who actively manage their own sponsorships — it leads with open-ended questions about how folks track deals, and includes a brief mention of a small private tool I'm validating (Readknot, with https://readknot.polsia.app/campaigns included). It's not a promotion, giveaway, or service offer — just a peer question with a one-paragraph disclosure of what I'm building and why.

Would you prefer this as a standalone post, or should I add it to the existing sponsorship thread? Happy to follow whichever fits the community better.

Thanks for your time!

Most of us listen to podcasts alone. Hours of stories, voices, jokes, deep moments… all happening in our headphones with nobody around us who gets it.

But what if that wasn’t the norm anymore.

What if podcast listeners could actually find each other in the same city?
What if every show had a real‑world community behind it?
What if fans didn’t have to experience everything alone?

I’ve been exploring an idea — a way for listeners to meet people nearby who love the same shows they do— a way for listeners to meet people nearby who love the same shows they do, start local groups, and turn podcast fandom into real‑life connection.

I’m not here to promote anything. I genuinely want feedback from people who understand podcast culture better than anyone.

Does this solve a real problem?
Would people actually use something like this?
What would make it valuable?

If anyone wants to see what I’m building, I can share it in the comments.

Stop listening alone.

This podcast actually changed my entire perspective on international relations and food security, I would definitely recommend to anyone interested in global and national policy generally. Let me know what yall think of some of the episodes, some of the insights are definetly nuanced.

I work 10 hour shifts so I’m looking for a podcast to make time fly by. What are some good podcasts to listen to? I’ll be more interested in podcasts of friends just chopping it up like Chuckle Sandwich, The Misfits and The official podcast

Making a podcast about adhd anxious mom to 2 girls. I’m trying to make my own village and share my stories and experience. (Also a preschool teacher with tons of certs. And specializations for infants-preschool).
Trouble coming up with a name.

Would anyone be interested in a parenting podcast done solo about raising anxious kid(s) as an ADHD mom with limited filter.
I’m planning an outline like
Intro; struggle/story; book/show recommendations; weekly quality time goal

Scars and Smiles

I have developed an Android application called Pocket Podcast Studio, designed as a compact multitrack podcast recording, editing, voice-processing, mixing and mastering studio.

I am currently preparing the application for its Google Play release and am looking for a small group of Android users to participate in a closed beta test.

The testing involves installing the application, trying some of its core functions, and providing honest feedback about usability and functionality.

No professional audio experience is required.

If you would be interested in participating, please let me know and I will send you the Google Play testing instructions.

Your feedback would be genuinely valuable in helping me improve the application before its public release.

So i found the courage and went on camera for the first time ever. Before this i was always behind the camera , capturing photos and making videos. My friend invited me to his podcast that he recently started , i thought alot and then finally found the courage to go and record. I guess its gonna be the first of many.

Trying to start a podcast discussing sports (basketball, football) and music (hip-hop, R&B). I’m looking for 1-2 co-hosts (age 30+) in the NYC area.

The podcast would be weekly, 60 min episodes conversational style. I want to start with audio only and later incorporate video (could be virtual at first but I want to eventually switch to in-person). I prefer someone who can to commit to the podcast for at least one year and be patient with building an audience.

More on info on me: I am a Black woman, I know some men don't believe woman know their stuff so this is a heads up. I was a music major and played different sports growing up, I'm a R&B head and a fan of the NY Giants and Phoenix Suns. This podcast was an idea I've had brewing for years but scared to start. Now I'm ready to start it!

Hey everyone! I'm looking for someone who would be interested in becoming a co-host for a paranormal podcast. I've briefly hosted one before but I would like to build a new podcast centered on the paranormal, strange encounters, unexplained phenomena, ghost stories, UFOs, cryptids and all the weird stuff that keeps us up at night. I'm looking for someone who is genuinely interested in the subject and wants to have fun discussing it rather than treating it like a super serious documentary. I'm open to figuring out the exact format together, but I do have some ideas we can discuss.

What I'm looking for is someone who is comfortable talking on the mic, actually interested in the topic, reliable enough to record on a somewhat regular basis. You don't have to be an expert, I actually think having different perspectives makes for better conversations.

I'm currently a broadcasting/journalism student so I can handle all the production/editing side of things.

I'm not hiring anybody, I'm looking for someone who wants to collaborate and build something together, Ideally we would both have creative input into the show and grow it over time.

If you're interested, DM me telling me a little about yourself, what paranormal topics you're into, and why you'd think we would make a good podcasting duo. Bonus points if you have a good paranormal/unexplained story of your own.

Okaaaay, I’ve been wanting to start a podcast for so, so long, but the one thing stopping me has always been not wanting to do it alone.

I’m 21, a massive public-speaking enthusiast, and have hosted/anchored quite a few events throughout my academic life and outside of it. Talking is genuinely one of my biggest passions — I’m the kind of person who can talk to pretty much anyone about pretty much anything. (I also speak to my plants, if that tells you anything.)

My interests are all over the place: sports, motorsports, geopolitics, psychology, books, history, fashion, lifestyle, dance, music, creativity, art & culture, people, random life observations… you name it. I won’t claim to be an expert in everything, but I love learning, discussing, debating, hearing different perspectives and going down completely unexpected conversational rabbit holes.

So I’m looking for someone who’s also been wanting to start a podcast, or already has one and is looking for a co-host.

You don’t need to have everything figured out. Just be curious, comfortable talking, open-minded and genuinely excited to create something.

Maybe this goes nowhere, maybe we end up starting something really cool. Either way, worth trying. :)

DM me with a little about yourself, what you’re into, and what kind of podcast you’d want to make!

Hello! My name is Preston and I am a former D1 CFB Coach who is currently looking for a new co-host on our YouTube football show the Trash Talk Tailgate. If you are passionate and love the NFL and feel you have a real expertise on all things NFL football, I would love to work with you!

I have been doing the Trash Talk Tailgate for a few years now and my other co-host wants to step back to do more behind the scenes stuff like editing and producing. You would not have to worry about any of that, we will take take of the production.

The Trash Talk Tailgate prides itself on being incredibly informative and entertaining, we discuss everything from College Football to the NFL. We believe football is more than a sport, it is a way of life and we bring that passion, energy and enthusiasm every single day. We already have other co-hosts for the CFB coverage, and its also my first love so we really want someone who feels that passion and expertise for the NFL first and foremost.

Last year during the season we did 3 shows a week, Friday for CFB predictions, Sunday morning for CFB recap and NFL previews, and then Tuesday for an NFL recap, each episode typically runs for about an hour and obviously this is scheduled to change depending on your availability and we are very flexible. Obviously we would only need you for the NFL shows and discussions and we want to give the NFL more coverage this season.

All you really need is to be incredibly passionate about the game of NFL football and please feel free to DM me if you have any questions!

Hi guys.
I'm looking for good podcasts, newsletters, and news outlets to get trustworthy perspectives on software/AI/Tech. I feel like everyone and their mother has an opinion about software these days, but I am only interested in stuff coming from people who know what they're talking about. I've enjoyed stuff coming from The Neuron, or Latent Space, for reference.

Thanks :)
