Earshot
A mobile application that helps people find podcasts

Earshot is a mobile application that helps people find podcasts that resonate with them.

Podcasts are more than just audio. They take us out of our own lives and allow us to learn about new people and ideas. Podcasts often cover news and stories that aren’t typically amplified in traditional media, but are equally deserving of being shared.

Currently, lesser known podcasts are hard to discover and searching for new shows can be overwhelming. Existing podcast apps focus on the player and sharing clips, overlooking the other things we can do like make recommendations, interact with friends, discuss, and create playlists.

With Earshot, you can offload the work of discovering new podcasts and focus on listening. Earshot gives you the personalized listening experience you deserve by learning what you like and recommending new podcasts based on your preferences. It also allows you to see what your friends are listening to and share your listening experience with the people who matter most.
