This is unnecessary. The Reddit for podcast episodes is Reddit.

Huge well done on launching. I can see a significant amount of scepticism in the comments, and I think that much of the feedback is valuable and important, such as the lack of a 'point of difference', interface, value-add above existing solutions, etc. But, a little disappointed with the pessimism in the comments in general. Someone has gone out of their way to build something from scratch and, regardless of whether…

Also, I tried claiming my podcast and commenting but neither seems to have worked for me. Perhaps because of high traffic?
you can never grow a project like this if you demand money for entry as much as i hate ads, i'd say that for this type of project it's better to leave it free but show some relevant podcast ads
Pardon my skepticism but how is this any better than r/podcasts/ - an existing community of ~2Mn+ people?
First, r/podcasts is for all podcasts, I'd be more interested in a community for a specific podcasts (say my favorite one: Dithering).
But also a r/dithering wouldn't really work that well since I might not be listening to a particular episode right when it came out. I'd prefer to talk to people about only the most recent episode I listened to.
Of course a r/dithering could simply have a meta post for each episode but that isn't that easy to find.

Podcasters will need to meet listeners where they hang out (Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.) regardless of whether they can also be persuaded to use this additional niche social media site.
Any podcaster who would use this service will have already created a multi-channel social media presence for their show, so instead of "do this instead" the sales pitch must answer "why do this as well".
Neat idea! As a podcaster I would love to be able to get feedback on my episodes this way. Have you ever considered adding the ability to embed it on external websites? Also, I tried claiming my podcast and commenting but neither seems to have worked for me. Perhaps because of high traffic?

Setting aside the first sentence, I think this is valuable feedback for Wolfram.

Promising once it has a volume of users. At first though, I imagine it would attract relatively new podcasts that don't yet have established communities. That said, until it reaches some critical mass which adds value to creators in terms of discovery and community, asking small time creators to fork out 360USD per year is quite a big ask.
Especially given that (1) podcasters would be the primary driver of users to this service, and (2) podcasters will also be doing all the moderation work.
