I listen in @OvercastFM.
Overcast is an awesome podcast app, but they don’t really provide recommendations.
The closest thing I get is a trailer for another podcast that @witnessdocs put in the feed.pic.twitter.com/D3tEP4Tw3s

Let’s head over to @ApplePodcasts next.
If you scroll down, they actually provide two “suggested” reels:
- “more from Witness Docs”
- “you might also like”
There’s a bunch of shows here that look interesting to me here.
These recommendations feel pretty solid.

For all the hype that Spotify gets as a podcast player... their recommendations are nil? They highlight podcast trailers in the feed, but that’s it.pic.twitter.com/CplUVXF8mI
What about Google Podcasts? Nope. No recommendations for “what to listen to next.”pic.twitter.com/owljYS9fsO
One of my favorite places to discover new narrative podcasts is @podysseyapp.
When I scroll down, I get some solid recommendations:
- “fans also like”
- “featured in playlists”
- “more from Witness Docs”
Nice.

The “IMDB for podcasts” is @Podchaser.
They have a “similar podcasts” section, but many of these recommendations don’t feel particularly related to Unfinished.pic.twitter.com/O5Gcc9rlEk
It looks like @Castbox_fm also gives a few recommendations, but these suggestions don’t feel particularly relevant to the podcast I just heard.pic.twitter.com/8DzkyqYHbR
The podcast search engine, @ListenNotes, provides some recommendations.
These are “ok,” but they seem to be just pulling shows from the True Crime category.

What are the best podcast recommendation services?
I’d say:
1. @podysseyapp (“Fans also like,” “Related playlists,” “More from...”)
2. @ApplePodcasts (“More from...,” “You might also like”)
I feel like I’ve been seeing for years different “podcast recommendation” products (social or algorithm based) pop up and fail, unable to build traction (maybe the right word is “community” instead of traction).
Maybe Goodreads recommendation power comes from it being an inventory for its users (so it gets organically maintained and updated) and maybe a smaller percentage of podcast listeners are interested in inventorying their podcast journey? (It is more a question than a statement)
