Goodpods is a fast-growing, award-winning, free podcast player and podcast discovery app featured by Fast Company, Inc. Magazine, Dot.la and more! Listen to, discover, and share all your favorite podcasts and shows that haven’t yet hit your radar.
We started Goodpods for those moments when you're staring at your phone -- about to hop in the car or go for a run -- wondering what podcast to listen to next, wishing that someone would magically appear with a good recommendation. In other words… podcast paralysis!
And who better to get those recommendations from than friends who know you best or people you admire? This already exists with books. And music. We just wanted it for podcasts too!
Before launching the Goodpods podcast player, we looked hard at other popular podcast apps. And we’ve come up with a free podcast player and podcast discovery app that you’ll absolutely love. The good news is that it’s catching fire!
With Goodpods, you can find new and exciting podcasts and listen to all-time favorites! Discover podcasts that your followers are recommending and posting on your feed. Check out what other people are listening to and find your next series.
Like and comment on podcasts that other people post about. Create discussions, join groups and share your thoughts on podcasts that pique your interest. Find podcasts to follow, interact with podcasters and hosts, and find your listening community!

In The News:
Fast Company Magazine – “As the number of podcasts explodes, Goodpods is building a social network to help users find which podcast episodes are actually worth listening to. The real innovation is in the podcast recommendation engine, which has been carefully designed to avoid the ideological echo chambers that plague other social platforms and podcast players. One of the 10 most innovative companies of 2021!”
Inc. Magazine – “Goodpods is a free podcast app that co-founder JJ Ramberg defines as a mix between Goodreads and Instagram. The app has garnered the attention of celebrities as users including Kim Kardashian, Alyssa Milano, Simon Sinek, Katie Couric and Malcolm Gladwell.”
Dot.la – “Los Angeles-based Goodpods launched its free podcast app with the hopes of answering the question "What podcast should I listen to?" "Rotten Tomatoes does it for movies. Yelp does it for restaurants, Goodreads did it for books," said Goodpods co-founder, Ken Ramberg. "There was no discovery platform for podcasts."
Happy listening! – The Goodpods Team

Bad
It’s like the devs tried to make it a social media app that also plays podcasts.
Playlist functionality is nonexistent. There’s no option to add every downloaded episode to a playlist, nor is there a way to delete every played episode.
It also goes back to the first episode in the playlist every time an episode ends, so I have to manually select the next in line.
Love how easy it is to find new pods!
Great layout, app and team behind Goodpods. They help to showcase new shows and make it easy to find ones that align with your taste/interest.
Amazing podcast app!
This is my new favourite way to enjoy podcasts! I love how social the platform is and the personalized recommendations to help me find new podcasts to love.
Goodpods is 100% the top Podcast supporter
When I started podcasting in 2020, i was just learning the podcast market, how to upload & interact with my audience. Goodpods is an interactive podcast app that lets you see your audience, your engagement & sends you notifications of milestone's & audiences feedback, instantly.
I highly recommend Goodpods for podcast creators & listeners, which I am myself.

Great for podcast discovery and getting to know other podcasters
Goodpods has done wonders for my podcast discovery. It’s the only player I feature on my website. I love the playlist function and the rating and reviews Tarek. So easy to use and great experience both as a podcaster and a listener. Great social media team - I love the way they feature podcasts and respond on Twitter/X and LinkedIn.

Fantastic Platform
GoodPods is a phenomenal platform for both Podcasters and listeners to share, interact, and discover both indie and mainstream podcasts. Also allowing indie podcasts to take the spotlight and get discovered for their work! The brand continues to evolve their platform. 10/10 Recommend!
Valuable Tool
This is the only app I’m aware of that acts as a true social-media tool specifically for podcast listeners. So useful for discovering new shows to enjoy!
