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?

I have a rss link for you https://jeena.net/pods.rss and I guess this would be the iTunes link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/jeenas-excellent-encount...

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.

Might be interesting to do; lots of stuff on YouTube (even though it has video) make for wonderful podcasts. Even if you project out the video content, they're still worth listening to. Not sure if they make it easy to distinguish between videos where the video part matters.

Nice idea. Doesn't seem to work if the category has spaces in it's name though. Works: https://podflix.app/category/Technology Doesn't work: https://podflix.app/category/Management%20&%20Marketing

Fixed!

Doesn't look like fixed, cos I am still seeing empty page

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/

I have a thesis that the download-orientation of podcasting has held it back. Just stream, like every other medium.

The only reason I listen to podcasts is because I can download them so I can listen to them without my phone/where there is no good connection.

(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'?

Funny though since a netcast is already another word for podcast according to Wikipedia. Netpods, anyone?

I’m voting for PodFix.
