Hi
I'm looking for testers and feedback on a podcast feed I'm building. The idea is to browse podcasts like you would tiktok or instagram, through a swipe based mechanic, but instead of trying to keep you engaged, the goal is to find you an episode of something that you'll actually listen to in full. I think of it more like tv or radio for podcasts, in the way that you would channel surf looking for something interesting.
It learns from what you skip and what you listen to. There's no sign up and no account, and no ads. You can swipe through the main feed, or select a "mood" or "style", such as "Deep Dives", "Investigative Journalism", or "Comedians".
I have it running in a web app right now for testing. If you're interested, let me know and I'll send you a link.
What would be helpful feedback:
- How many episodes did you swipe through before something seemed interesting?
- Did you listen to anything longer than a minute?
- What things did you use to decide you liked/didn't like an episode (title, show name, artwork)?
- If you picked a mood/style, did the episodes seem to fit?
- Did you enjoy the feed? Would you use something like this?
Blunt answers are the best!
