No offence, but this seems like it would be better as a Reddit sub. Not everything needs to be the HN of something.

Thanks for sharing your work. Would you consider adding a "gaming" category? Can you change the subscription confirmation email subject to include your site's title? From "Confirmation instructions" to "PodcastRank Confirmation Instructions"? Looks great!

Now you have me intrigued, I didn't even know there was another type of podcast.

Here are some popular and excellent podcasts that have great production value: https://gimletmedia.com/show/reply-all/ http://www.thisamericanlife.org/ http://freakonomics.com/archive/

Maybe change "0 comments" to something like "Start a discussion" when there are no comments. Makes it seem like a graveyard when they're all empty.

I really like this. How does one go about learning more about improvements like these?

100% agree. And not just "the two guys joking around tag" but the "we recorded this in one take and then published straight from garage band." That would be a significant improvement over the podcasts discovery tools inside of every podcasting app. That make it a lot easier for any of the new shows coming out that are trying to be like a Radiotopia or Gimlet style show, to be discovered.

I agree, It's easy to waste a lot of time on these podcasts. I hope that over time with the voting, the best stuff rises to the top
