I've been enjoying podcasts for many years now, so this seems like a wonderful resource...great work guys/gals! If anyone is looking looking for something different and educational and entertaining, check out Dan Carlin's Hardcore History. It's amazing, and I've been a fan of his for a decade now and he keeps getting better and better.

Interesting discussion! I'm the author of SkipCast ( http://www.skipcast.net ), an iOS client that worked with http://www.rawvoice.com/ to implement an in-app, direct donate feature. If your Podcast feed contains the tag: Label SkipCast displays an in-app link to that location with the text 'Donate'. Uptake for this feature has been quite positive. I'd love to expand support for this to other systems and tags. It's a…
No offense to you or your product, and I did read the description, but I still don't see how can you justify $25 for a podcast app. More importantly, I don't see how a regular user would even bother to read the description after seeing that price.
Feature Request: Episode ratings. This is awesome!
For example, there's at least two Mike/Micheal Duncan's, one does history podcasting (history of rome, revolutions, both awesome) and the other I'm not familiar with but apparently does something biblical.
The history podcaster does not show up as a person but the preacher does.
The history podcasts show up for mike duncan but not micheal duncan.
The history podcaster is "kinda famous ish" in the the field of history podcasting and keeps getting interviewed on other shows, pretty sure he was on "life of caesar" and a couple others, but those either don't show up or haven't been crawled by the search.

The biggest issue I see with podcasting is the complicated subscribe process and monetization of the show. The biggest fish (Marc, Joe, Leo) have a team behind them to help with monetization but subscribing is still problematic. Without having a custom app for your podcast, you need to explain to people what an RSS feed is. You just lost 80% of your potential listeners. Alternatively, you can suggest they use a 3rd p…

Interesting app. How do you think the price point is effecting the revenue? Are you following a model for higher priced apps or developing one as you go?

>Podcasting is a medium that's dying to be upended. I couldn't agree more, specifically in the realm of comedy podcasts. I don't have the hands on experience you do, but I've followed a lot of podcasts that have grown to the point where they have a rabid fanbase that's dying to pay for more content, but existing means of doing so are clunky or otherwise unappealing (some podcasts that come out of a certain Mexican re…
You mentioned LIC, are you local to NYC? If so, it'd be great to continue the conversation in person. Feel free to email me. It's michael@my HN username.com
