Questions people ask
How does the podcast selector pick podcasts?
It combines what you said you want to listen to with how you rated ten podcasts lots of people know. Shows that share a lot with the ones you liked move up; shows like the ones you didn't move down.
Which podcasts can it pick?
Any show in our podcast catalog, about 80 shows across comedy, true crime, science, history, audio fiction, news, business and technology, and relationships. Unlike our film, book, show, game and music selectors, there is no ratings bar for podcasts yet, because there is no open, widely used rating for them, so a pick is a show we chose for the catalog, not a top-rated one.
What if I haven't heard some of the ten podcasts?
Tap Skip and choose Haven't listened to it. A show you skip doesn't count against you, and it can still turn up in your picks if it fits.
Will my picks change if I take it again?
Yes. The picks follow your answers, so a different mood gives a different list.
