To give it a try i typed "sceptics" and selected Sceptics Guide to the Universe which results in redirection to https://podbabble.com/podcast/undefined and an error "Error: could not handle the request"
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.
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 definitely reasons for it (to easily link to clips in comments) but there's no reason to block loading the comments on loading the episode or the player
But the experience around it can and should definitely be a lot smoother.
The value of Podbabble is the intersection of podcast episodes that 1) people are talking about and 2) I have listened to. Right now the only way for me to find that intersection is to start from (2), searching for every podcast I can think of, looking at several of the latest episodes and seeing there's no comments. It would be great to start from (1), so I can see right away which episodes people are discussing and see which ones might be relevant to me.
Also, it seems like the only way to add a podcast to "my podcasts" is with an RSS feed link? Not from a link on the podcast's page I searched for? I'm unsure on what the desired setup workflow is.

In my opinion, this isn't even at the beta level yet, let alone at a point where you should be asking for a subscription fee that high.
I'll keep an eye on this because this interests me, but the initial red flags give me pause. You need a talented UI/UX person pretty badly.
Great idea, but bad execution. UI is not good. I expected examples of popular podcasts on the front page that I could immediately engage with. However, I was met by confusion. It took me way too long to realize that the search bar was the only method of discovery.

I didn't realise that thanks, however you still need to give people a way to delete their account.
Absolutely, of course. We've just launched and there are a number of features missing
