Hark Audio 12+

A lifeboat on the open sea of millions of podcasts.
The way topics and clips from podcasts are organized makes it easy to navigate; on a recent weekend I learned more about topical subjects (NFT’s and the Electoral College) by sampling a few short clips on each from different podcasts, ran across a fresh interview with one of my favorite authors on a podcast I didn’t know existed, and dug into some music topic archives where I learned about the Beatles and the roots of “back masking”, and how the Beastie Boys recorded their first single.

Fun community way to discover new podcasts, hear highlights about new topics from a variety of podcasts and points of view, and dig deep into topics.

I am a podcast NUT and Hark is the app that my brain would have dreamed up if it could have. It’s beautiful and is chock-full of podcast moments I can’t find anywhere else, literally, and that I can’t stop listening to. A Harkllist, like the Song Exploder one, took me to another place. I pretty much forgot where I was when I was listening to it. I think this is solving the podcast discoverability problem for both listeners and podcasters. Spending time in Hark is such a treat…it’s impossible to not be moved by what you hear, impossible not to take something away with you when you leave.

If you feel like you’re drowning in podcasts people insist you should be listening to, I have one more recommendation that’s ironically going to solve your problem.

Hark curates the best of podcasting world allowing you to catch the stuff you truly NEED to hear. The interesting factoids that will intrigue you. The hilarious stories that you can share with friends. I get it, you only have time for the good stuff—Hark gets you the good stuff.
