Way fewer people are creating new podcasts these days

Re:Way fewer people are creating new podcasts these days by readonthegoapp on Sunday January 22, 2023 @10:48PM (#34485252)

is there a way to find new podcasts, on either listennotes or anywhere else?

i've tried seemingly everywhere, but no luck.

If you're just looking to find podcasts to listen to that are new to you, I'd say word of mouth. For example, ask your friends and colleagues. Or ask around on Twitter, Reddit, HN, etc. Or search for conversations where people have shared recommendations.

For example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34056715

yeah, i should have been more explicit -- i want newly-created podcasts, which will probably be new to me.

How much is that? Price is hidden behind quote form.

They don't list their prices for the full db, but I imagine it is very expensive based on their partial datasets on AWS: https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/seller-profile?id=f51c44b...

I don't know. But if you've already "tried seemingly everywhere" then maybe it's worth another few minutes to fill out the form.

Seemingly everywhere? When i search an existing podcast or even just a subject in my podcast app it typically suggests no less than 30 podcasts to me, most of which i have never heard of. I have found new ones that are quite good, as well as some stinkers and duds. Hard to believe it is that hard to find something vaguely interesting if you have used a modicum of effort.

yeah, i should have been more explicit -- i want not only new-to-me podcasts, but actually-new/newly-created podcasts -- as in podcasts that were created in the last day, week, month, year, etc.

but after all my searching, there are no new-to-me pods, unless i just can't find the newly-created pods, which is very possible, even likely.

Ah my mistake. Maybe the answer lies in combining podcast searches with filtering options within your app? I've recently started using filters on my searches in various applications/file systems/etc and it has really improved my UX across the board. Switching from "sort by relevance" to "newest first" might be the move. I've also had a bit of luck trying out podcasts outside of my normal areas of interest.

Good luck on your hunt.
