CastUpon is a beautiful way to explore the expanding world of podcasts.

Reminds me of Swell Radio, a startup Apple acquired in 2014, but obviously with less personalization (at least for v1, @traf!?). 😃

@rrhoover Ryan! Been a long while man hope all is well. I suppose it's along the same lines! Definitely a very mature V1 haha. Would love to add some sort of personalization soon.

Hey guys! I built CastUpon in a single day, and essentially acts as my personal list of bookmarked podcasts. I'm adding more podcasts daily, and new features such as categories (design, tech, business, etc.) as well as an interactive grid to intuitively browse all available podcast episodes. Feel free to drop any questions or feedback below! Much love and happy podcasting 🎙✌🏼

Cool stuff James! Makes it totally simple to find new Podcasts (which is always a drag). How much do you personally listen to podcasts?

@alexekoren Thanks Alex! I alternate between podcasts and audiobooks, but maybe around 3-5 episodes weekly?

@traf Very cool! I have a hard time with podcasts, but have gotten really into listening to a specialized version of movies that I work with at work. They're totally audio (no visuals) with a narrator. Would love for you to check it out and let me know what you think: http://audieapp.com/register (Full disclosure: We're on PH today too!)

wow! I love the simple and clean design and the idea of going to a link and just hit play to some nice podcasts. Idea: would be great if we could also recommend podcasts there. :D

@harowitzblack Thanks Ben! I appreciate that!
Irma Mesa
Fantastic idea! Really allows for focus on a single episode or category of podcast at a time, which I love. This is my personal opinion, for sure. I'm excited to see how it evolves. I'd be interested to know how you created the product itself?

@irmatable Thank you Irma! I just built it using good ol' HTML,CSS & some JS. Creating podcast pages are a very manual process right now... will likely use some sort of CMS soon.

This is really great. I hate deliberating on what to listen to, but you've totally cleared up any doubt in my mind. Especially when I realised most of the recommendations are around tech. Just adds more value to for me to learn from.

This is super dope. Design layout is clean and simple, which I love. I open this up pretty much anytime I'm doing long rides in the car and just hit play - Already listened to quite a few podcasts, amazing library so far.
