I listen to a lot of podcast episodes (over 5,000 in the past 5 years [1]), but I don’t subscribe to podcasts.

The way I listen to podcasts is similar to how I consume web contents:

Search by topics/people, and Find podcast episodes to listen, then move on, not subscribing to podcasts. Search by topics/people, and Find web pages to read, then move on, not bookmarking websites.

For podcast recommendations, I’d suggest focusing on topics/people that you’d like to learn more. You can search and find individual episodes [2]. At this moment, there are at least 140,000,000 podcast episodes [3] - vs there were 25,000,000 web pages indexed by google in 1998 [4]

This response is annoying since it didn't answer the OP's question and instead just promoted your own product.

I get sharing your stuff when it's relevant, but couldn't you at least share some podcasts you've enjoyed before pitching your site?


It looks like that's all in the first link. I took the RSS feed from there and put it into Overcast.


For the benefit of those reading here, it's a lot of episodes from Built to Sell, My First Million, Startups for the Rest of US and other bootstrapper-focused podcasts.


Or is your response annoying because it promotes your profile, which is tied to your own product, AlchemistCamp?... Inception!
