A lot of people are tired of relying on iTunes to discover new podcasts. iTunes seems to favour the big shows, often neglecting the smaller podcasters. As as a podcaster, it’s really hard to grow your audience. For the past 3 years, I’ve been trying to grow my audience for Dorm Room Tycoon (http://drt.fm). It’s hard.
So we at Panda Network (http://panda.network) want to solve this problem.
Podcast Gift is a place to share and discover interesting episodes. The focus is on episodes, not podcasts. Sometimes you just want to listen to the best episodes. The goal with Podcast Gift is to build a tight knit community for podcast listeners and podcasters, where we can all upvote, share and engage in a conversation around a particular episode.
If you’re a fellow podcaster - email me: william.channer@gmail.com. I have some interesting stuff to share with you.
Big thanks to the following:

@williamchanner well done William! I'm really excited about this. I assumed that you would just go after newly created podcasts instead of episodes, but I think the episodes approach is probably the right one. When will we be able to listen to the episodes right from podcast.gift? 😉
@williamchanner second those sentiments. As a new podcaster - always looking to grow audiences not only for mine but for podcasting as a whole, great idea and look forward to partaking!
I love that you focused on the episodes of a podcast, not the podcast as a whole. Topics vary from episode to episode, especially podcasts that are interview based.
Not to mention the quality of each episode varies a lot too, so highlighting the good ones is a great idea!
