So glad to see this. There is a real opportunity to create a decent space for these discussions. Allowing the podcast host to determine the governance model could get interesting and the possibility of allowing podcasts to monetize their /r/ could make it attractive to them

On the other side of things, I wonder if you could create a decent value prop for podcast clients to embed your chat bit inline or similar

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'm not sure I'm following. You can jump into any podcast discussion via the homepage, either by clicking a comment or by searching for a podcast. You don't need an account to see discussion boards and you can even comment anonymously.

You are referring to those comments in the top right of the page? If so, that isn't obvious, it looks like a demo image.

fair enough :-)

First podcast on the right: Ben Shapiro. So I scroll down to check out the second podcast: Jordan Peterson. Not really in the mood to join such a community.

They're using some kind of API to get the podcasts since a very rare pod that I followed showed up - so maybe that's just due to the listeners that BS and JP have.

There's no way of going from a podcast (/podcast/SHOW/EPISODE/UUID) to the show (/podcast/SHOW). I had to manually edit the URL.

Visually, this is more like SoundCloud than Reddit, though that's probably because there's no discussions more than 2 comments deep to notice the difference.

I wish your homepage made it easier to more quickly engage in podcast discussion. Right now, my feedback is that it takes too long to get to proof of value, your UI is confusing and it's not clear to me what, or how, I can get to 'discussing podcasts'.

Yes, loading is quite slow. I typed in a name and the search result showed almost instantly but it took over thirty seconds to actually get to the comment section. There's no reason you need to embed a player for the episode on the comment page. If I'm going to go to a web page and comment on a podcast I've already listened to the podcast.

I’ve wanted to find a podcast app that would allow me to easily pause, select a segment, and then tweet (preferably with auto transcript) or share on FB.

I assume that I could make an anon comment here and then share a link to my comment on social media?

EDIT: someone mentioned that podcasters have to pay for access — if this is true, would it mean that I could only comment on certain podcasts? This would be a huge limitation for me, and would make me very unlikely to spend much time on the site.

I would recommend letting people comment on any podcast, but if podcasts want to show up on your topical lists then they have to pay. There are probably other better ways to feature gate; this is just one idea.
