New Feature: Explore and Find Podcasts

Last week, we published a new feature to CastRoller, the explore page. This is a page on CastRoller that contains many features that help you to find new podcasts to listen and subscribe to on CastRoller.

First, there is a list of categories. You can click on each of the categories to find podcasts that are related to that category. If you find any podcasts that you think belong in these categories, just use the category name to tag the podcast; that podcast will then appear in the category.

My Podcast DesktopNext, is a feature everyone saw coming, the most popular podcasts on CastRoller. This is a list of the podcasts that have the most subscribers on CastRoller. This is a good way to see what is popular with everyone. You can even keep up to date with this list by subscribing to its feed.

In addition to the top podcasts, there is a list of random users of CastRoller. You can click on any of these people’s names to see what podcasts they have subscribed to and how they have tagged them. You may find someone with similar interests to yourself.

Lastly, is a cool new feature that may not be too useful, but it is quite cool, Explore by Podcast logos. This feature displays a selection of random podcast logos on one page. At a glance, you can see the logos for many different podcasts. Click on a logo that interests you and you might find a podcast that you will love.

Also, as you can see in the screenshot on the left, you can set the podcast logos to be your wallpaper. Click here to read about how you can do that. It just takes a few clicks, and you will then have a constantly updated desktop wallpaper full of cool new podcasts for you to discover and enjoy.
