Drift
Finding a new podcast to listen to is a chore. Every app’s “discover” area throws up walls of shows, charts, and algorithmic suggestions, and somehow you still end up listening to the same three shows. Too much noise, no signal.
Instead, Drift is hundreds of highly-rated shows, but more specifically the best episodes from those shows, hand-curated from personal recommendations, social posts, playlists, and other corners of the web. All stitched into a single back-to-back stream. It’s not meant to replace your podcast app, but help you find something new to add to it.
Yes, it’s reinventing talk radio, but hopefully with less filler, and less right-wing opinions.
Press play and trust the stream. No logins, no infinite scroll, no algorithmic feed of every podcast you’ve ever shown interest in. Just a varied, random set of new, old and interesting shows that might help you discover something new.
