Feedspot Podcast Directory

Podcast search and research

A ranked directory and blog aggregator that lists podcasts by category, often cited for its best of lists though ranking methodology is opaque.

PodStack editorial · Product research. How we review tools

Feedspot runs a large network of ranked lists across blogs, YouTube channels, and podcasts, organized by niche, and getting included in one of these lists is a common early milestone podcasters chase for a badge to put on their website.

There's real value here for a new show: appearing on a niche best of list can generate a bit of referral traffic and a credibility signal, something to link to when pitching guests or sponsors.

The ranking methodology behind these lists isn't rigorously transparent, so a high placement says more about how the list was compiled than about your actual audience size or quality relative to other shows.

Worth submitting your show since it costs nothing and takes a few minutes, just keep expectations realistic about what inclusion actually proves.
