Pardon my skepticism but how is this any better than r/podcasts/ - an existing community of ~2Mn+ people?

- tuwtuwtuwtuw 4y agoHow do people discuss specific podcasts there? Never visited that subreddit before but the top entries seems to be discussion about podcasts, not discussions about content in podcast episodes.
- MarcellusDrum 4y agoPopular podcasts have their own subreddits that discuss each episode. Having a separate app/platform for this is going to be hard to sell.
- pHollda 4y agoExactly. CC r/PKA for example. It's like how TV Shows have their own subreddits, not just r/television.
- tuwtuwtuwtuw 4y agoThe person I replied to was comparing it to r/podcasts and bringing up the subscriber count there.
- soneil 4y agoIt looks like it'd work pretty well if you're listening to them at the same site - so comments are tagged with the timestamp, soundcloud-esque. I can kinda see the logic - unfortunately sitting in front of my computer is my least favourite way to consume podcasts - and the workflow seems to break down quickly once you disassociate the two.
- janmarsal 4y agoThe empire, long divided, must unite; long united, must divide. Thus it has ever been.
- bin_bash 4y agoI haven't looked at this product but as a listener of podcasts I can think of 2 obvious reasons. 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.
