Been a supporter of Pod Hunt since the day it launched, decided to have my podcast (The Better Show) become an official Pod Hunt "Supporter", and spent over an hour last night with it's founder, Mubs, on Skype talking product direction.
I can't stress how critical it is to build better podcast discovery mechanisms for the medium to continue to grow and thrive. Right now, most podcast discovery is self-reinforcing already successful podcasts. This is neither good for podcasters, or listeners. For new podcasts, its extremely hard to grow/learn, and for listeners it limits the ability to show them how broad and diverse the podcasting world is (which is one of its core strengths, there is something for EVERYONE!)
After my call with Mubs, I'm super excited to see where Pod Hunt goes in the future.
