I could really use something like this. It's a recurring problem I have: finding interesting podcast material to listen to while working out.

Podcast suggestions should remain on the front page longer than articles do in HN though. Since listening to a podcast is way more time consuming than reading an article.

Thanks for sharing!

Getting 500 errors on podcast comment/show pages. I get the idea though, I'm just not sure this is the best way to discover podcasts. To checkout a podcast takes quite a bit more time relative to a news article / blog post. I think that this has the same issues as https://www.producthunt.com/podcasts , for me at least.

fixing some stuff, thanks for the feedback!

I agree! that's why I included the other filters as well. A good podcast is still valuable a long time after creation/recording, unlike a news article..

I'd start submitting your site to different subreddits to ensure a diverse selection in your listings. Hold off on submitting to Designer News though, until you improve the site UX. As it is now, they will completely ignore it.

Still, it looks like you're off to a good start!

I like this, but I think it needs a little more emphasis on the UX of what you are going to listen to and for how long. Perhaps even embed the player under the link?

How about a play count as a measure of popularity instead of just discussions? HN works because it abstracts user behaviour to a points score.

How did you implement scoring system? Is it simple: select max(score) from casts where submit_time > NOW - 7days; or something more sophisticated https://medium.com/hacking-and-gonzo/how-hacker-news-ranking... ?

it's indeed ordered by score, nothing fancy
