Where does review count and rating come from? I didn't see any way of rating or adding a comment.

Currently, its being fetched from Itunes. In coming weeks I will be adding features to save/follow, add rating. Also there will be more sub-topics/genres

Or you can just search any podcast episodes: https://www.listennotes.com Nowadays I don’t subscribe to any podcasts. I just find interesting episodes and add to playlist — like pocket/instapaper — episode-centric, instead of podcast-centric. https://www.listennotes.com/listen/ And if you want to build an app, you can use podcast api: https://www.listennotes.com/api/

How do you find interesting episodes? That sounds like a lot more work than finding interesting podcasts.

There are different ways. search is one of them. You can compare this with finding interesting articles to read.

For example, I want to binge listen to all podcast episodes of a person, eg kevin systrom https://lnns.co/Ut_qSy6-TwP

You can take a look at my playlist https://lnns.co/8OfbFlditV2

How do you source the podcasts? Do you consider YouTube interviews as podcasts? A lot of great content on YouTube is functionally equivalent to Podcasts (two people talking, interviews, etc.). I tried looking up the viral interview where Joe Rogan interviews Elon Musk (searched "joe rogan" and "elon musk" separately to increase my chances) and nothing came up in your search engine.

Not looking at youtube. But if that something people want I can look into adding that as well. Currently there are crawled on itunes, spotify and soundcloud.

Is there a reason why I can't find my podcast there? https://jeena.net/pods It shows up in iTunes search and gPodder search too, but not on that website. I also can't seem to be able to find out how to make it find my podcast.

Can you provide me your itunes link?

(Pedantic) The 'flix' in Netflix refers to 'flicks', i.e. films.... that is clearly not the case here. Surely the name should have been something more like 'NetCasts'?

It doesn't matter. anything-flix right now pretty much means 'content on demand'.
