Podchaser is a user‑driven podcast database that lets people look up who appeared on which shows, rate and review podcasts, and create lists. Its community has created 8.5 million podcast credits, and monthly active users have quintupled over the past year. The consumer site is free; the company also sells Podchaser Pro, a paid product that provides reach and demographic data across 1.8 million podcasts, and offers an API that supplies credits to podcast players. Podchaser is fully distributed—the CEO Bradley Davis is based in Oklahoma City and co‑founder/CTO Ben Slinger is in Australia. The company is organizing a broader Podcast Taxonomy project and plans features to boost contributions, including gamification and a discussion system. Podchaser operates a podcast database and search engine that indexes more than 18 million podcast episodes and enables ratings and reviews at both the podcast and episode level. Its product includes features such as custom podcast lists, profile pages for creators and networks, and integrations with existing podcast players. The company has partnered with apps including Player FM, RadioPublic, Podible, and Procast to surface Podchaser data inside player apps. Podchaser launched beta testing in July 2017 and has grown to more than 2,000 registered podcast creators. The company plans to use new funding to build and market upcoming features and expand its discovery and engagement tools. Leadership emphasizes turning their ambition to organize podcasting data into reality while helping grow the podcasting ecosystem.
