@ow I want to allow Podcasters to be able to add and edit their own shows and profiles. I think the future is everyone adding the metadata to their RSS feeds.
@jpwhitaker would we be adding the metadata in the description field or in separate RSS tags?
btw -- hit me (matt@edgy.bz). I produce the upcoming podcast Ordinary Heroes & curate for The Timbre & The Audio Signal (as well as regularly hunt podcasts here on PH).
Would love to chat.
@jpwhitaker Ahhh..... Nice. Thanks for pointing me in that direction. Was talking w/ a friend who brought up the issue of accuracy. How are you going to make sure people don't falsely claim someone like Ira hosts their show?
Are you going to reach out & try to establish a rep at major collectives/radio stations to monitor information tagged with employees' names?
i.e., WBEZ would have a designated person that would get an alert for any new addition with "Ira Glass" in it to verify that, in fact, he did host that show/was involved with it.
Hey there! I'm the engineer behind podcat. This is still a work in progress, so I appreciate all feedback! If you have a podcast I'd love to speak with you. Thank you very much for all the support! I'm based in hawaii so I'll be on in the morning to answer your questions.

@jpwhitaker This is absolutely awesome John! Podcat is a great service, and much needed. We all know how hard every podcatcher, crawler, curator (looking at you @producthunt, EarbudFM, and so many others) repeat a lot of the same work every single time. Podcat should help make things more efficient, especially as you increase coverage. Like @rstankov, I also want to know if you plan to provide an API?
@jpwhitaker this is pretty sweet! Congrats on the the launch! Would love to chat about how I can help out (I run the Hack To Start podcast). Wanna ping me? Hey[@]hacktostart.com
@jpwhitaker I love you! This is insane as a podcast maker myself this is so helpful for me. Holy shit, I never knew I had done 70 hours of interviews, I am getting old here! @rrhoover you might have been on a few shows but your interview with @twentyminutevc was the best! ;)
@jpwhitaker I didn't see that on the podcast I was checking. But now it makes sense. If it worked flawlessly and maybe even with some user moderation instead of relying on automation, I could see a site like this being beneficial.

Very cool (and useful) tool @jpwhitaker ! I built ink361.com, a web tool or discovering and sharing images on the web. I would be interested in offering podcast discovery to our 21 million users as well. Is there a time we can chat about that? Thanks, jurg
Wow, this is impressive. I didn't realize I had been on this many podcasts.
Cool use case: find and listen to podcasts from your favorite celebs. Here are a ton of podcasts with Donald Glover (aka Childish Gambino).
