I have recently joined the Reason team as an intern for the summer. I was so keen to get on board as this app is something I really believe in! Excited to be part of the Reason journey as the app is really blossoming! 🌸

I have been using the app for the last couple of weeks, after trying a few other social apps, Reason is the only one that really gives a social feel. Most social podcasting apps just slapped on a comment box. With reason I've had a lot of fun tagging and chatting with friends, seeing timestamps from friends and just keep listening to podcasts. Well done and I hope you guys keep coming up with new features!

@laur_science Happy to hear that you are liking the app! Keep on listening🎧

Baffles me that no one has been making podcasts social in this way before - this is an amazing idea executed by someone who has been a podcaster for about a decade themselves (alongside a great technical team), which really shows. There's nothing like a solution built by someone who is their own primary customer. If you ever wanted to chat about a podcast, specific episodes, specific topics addressed (using timestamps), or just chat with the host or other listeners, this is going to make your whole podcast experience so much more fun! No more having to share different links to different people on different social media with "listen to timestamp x" in order to share fun/insightful/disturbing anecdotes. For podcasters this offers a clear way of having proper listener engagement - it can often feel lonely to just make your podcast, pouring in all your creative efforts, and then essentially only know your viewers as numbers on a "listeners/downloads" counter. Reason actually means you can connect, see the discussions, and - even if you want to just remain on the side-lines - clearly track the impact your podcast is having on people!

I love the interface. However, it fails to pull up latest episodes from many of the podcasts that I added through RSS url.
Klaas Foppen
@naiyer No worries, we are indexing the episodes trough our API, usually it takes around 30 minutes for new feeds to be live in the app!
Naiyer Asif
@klaaz0r You should indicate this through some way in the app, or people will get confused seeing missing episodes like me. Besides this minor point, I really appreciate cross-platform availability, especially on the web.
Klaas Foppen
@naiyer Yes good point, right now we only do that for podcasts that have no episodes. Will add an info box how that works! Thanks for the tip, glad you like it!
