Show HN: Podcat – Imdb for podcasts • Hacker News Board

I love the concept. There still seems to be some room for improvement, though. When searching for "Tom Merritt", it only shows podcasts that "mention Tom Merritt" as opposed to podcasts he's been in or hosted. I plan on checking back in a couple months to see how it has come along. Love the idea, though!

Yeah, impressive... what percentage of the podcasts do you think you cover? I have searched for some programming related podcasts, but could'nt find..

The people search is something I've wanted for a while now, you've done a fantastic job in executing it!

So how do people get added to this site?

I'm already on it. iTunes/Sticher/libsyn. The only places that have access to mine.

Great idea and something that's missing with podcasts. I took a look at some names and noticed you have missing data. For example, Christian Finnegan is a regular on Keith and The Girl podcast but he's only listed twice https://www.podcat.com/people/zXNOK2

Here's his profile for our podcast http://www.keithandthegirl.com/guest/40/christian-finnegan

You can scrape our guest list here http://www.keithandthegirl.com/guests/

or you can use our API endpoints to pull json content. Here's the doc but I can make tweaks, if you need https://github.com/KeithAndTheGirl/API/wiki/Keith-and-The-Gi...
