Podbabble

I like that I can read a comment for a podcast I've never heard of before and jump into the exact timestamp being discussed with a single click. I also like that I can read…

I listen to a lot of podcasts, and I think this is really really cool. Would certainly become a better and better experience (I think?) as more people leave comments on episodes.

I love the idea and monetization model, trawling through the rest of a subreddit to find the thread for a recent episode can be tedious. Congrats on the launch, I have a couple…

So glad to see this. There is a real opportunity to create a decent space for these discussions. Allowing the podcast host to determine the governance model could get interesting…

To give it a try i typed "sceptics" and selected Sceptics Guide to the Universe which results in redirection to https://podbabble.com/podcast/undefined and an error "Error: could…

When I search for "Absolutely Mental" and click on any season, it leads to this error page: https://podbabble.com/podcast/undefined

Very cool idea but the website seems awfully slow with all the animations and loading screens, and the audio player seems to keep resizing and lagging.

I searched for two podcasts; one failed with an error ('Error: could not handle the request) [No Agenda]. I tested another one, [eggchasers], and that worked reasonably well. My…

Great idea, but bad execution. UI is not good. I expected examples of popular podcasts on the front page that I could immediately engage with. However, I was met by confusion. It…

I wish your homepage made it easier to more quickly engage in podcast discussion. Right now, my feedback is that it takes too long to get to proof of value, your UI is confusing…

The discovery experience is terrible. There’s a feed of recent comments, but the largest and most noticeable piece of content is the podcast artwork, not the comment text (and…

Pardon my skepticism but how is this any better than r/podcasts/ - an existing community of ~2Mn+ people?

This is unnecessary. The Reddit for podcast episodes is Reddit.

For the podcasts I'm interested in talking to other people about, there's already community discords full of listeners.

/r/redscarepod /r/JoeRogan These aren't just discussion groups for the podcasts - many of the users in these subreddits don't even listen to the podcasts. The subreddits for…

$29/mo seems high for the vast majority of podcasts, which are labors of love run on shoestring budgets. Of course, it's peanuts for the high traffic sites. Did you consider a…

Promising once it has a volume of users. At first though, I imagine it would attract relatively new podcasts that don't yet have established communities. That said, until it…

you can never grow a project like this if you demand money for entry as much as i hate ads, i'd say that for this type of project it's better to leave it free but show some…

How does this work? I went to an episode of Nerdland, posted a comment, saw a brief loading icon and the input area emptied itself and... poof, nothing happened. Reloaded page,…

Neat idea! As a podcaster I would love to be able to get feedback on my episodes this way. Have you ever considered adding the ability to embed it on external websites? Also, I…

I like the idea of this! I don't feel like I'm unusual in that I listen to my podcasts in a player app (Overcast, in my case), and always away from a computer. It would be really…

Somehow the podcast library is a bit mixed up with multiple podcasts of the same name. If you look for the "Greatest Generation" Star Trek podcast, the preview indeed shows the…

Are there any licensing issues here? How are podcasts loaded? I'm having a hard time believing everyone who produces a podcast is happy to have their shows played through a site…

I couldn't find a way to delete an account, so signup with a burner if you want to check it out.

Why not just r/podcadts?

I've been using Podchaser, it's less about comments, more about community reviews: https://www.podchaser.com/

Also see FanFare, the metafilter site for discussing podcasts (and movies, TV, and books): https://fanfare.metafilter.com. Costs $5 for a lifetime membership.

A few challenges I think you should consider: 1. People do their podcast listening on other platforms/players - what's the incentive for them to comment/post on Podbabble? 2.…
