For Podcast Creators

A free community-ranked launch week for your podcast.

Give your audience a fun, focused week to listen, vote, and help your episode climb while new listeners browse the board.

The Pod Radar is a community ranking site: listeners decide what moves up, and shows can relaunch every 6 weeks so each board stays fresh.

One episode

Pick the episode you want people to hear this week.

One listener ask

Send people to play, vote, and comment from one page.

One weekly push

Use the live ranking as a reason to promote it now.

Creator Proof

Real shows are getting real listener votes.

Give your audience one link and every vote becomes visible momentum for your show.

Community Rankings

Make growth feel like a focused week, not another vague promo post.

The weekly board gives your audience a simple reason to act now. Listen, vote, comment, and help the episode climb before the week closes.

A public episode page with direct listening links
Voting and comments that give listeners something to do
A live weekly ranking that creates urgency
A result you can reuse after the week ends

Launch Week

Turn one episode into a small event.

Instead of asking people to “check out the show,” give them a live challenge: help this episode climb the community ranking this week.

Listeners play first

The episode sits with the listening links people need to start immediately.

Then they push it up

Votes and comments turn listener support into visible momentum.

Creator Exchange

Votes help you get noticed. Exchange helps you grow from it.

Once your show has a live episode or ranking history, use Exchange to find guest swaps, promo swaps, and creators who are already open to working together.

Open Exchange
Guest swapsFind creators open to trading guest spots and getting in front of each other's audiences.
Promo swapsUse your live episode or ranking result as a reason to trade shoutouts, trailer drops, or newsletter mentions.
Warmer outreachMessage creators who are already looking for podcast growth opportunities instead of sending cold pitches.

How It Works

Built for a weekly listener push.

1

Submit an episode

Search your podcast, choose an episode, and add the links listeners need.

2

Share the page

Use your newsletter, socials, guests, or community to send people to one clear action.

3

Turn attention into momentum

Listeners can play, vote, and comment while your episode climbs the weekly board.

You do not need to submit every week.

Each show can relaunch after 6 weeks. That keeps the rankings fresh, stops the same shows crowding the board, and gives every return a real promotion moment.

FAQ

The bits creators usually ask about.

Does it cost anything to submit?

No. Submitting an episode to the weekly community ranking is free. Paid featured placement is optional and only adds extra visibility; it does not buy votes or ranking position.

Do I need to submit my show every week?

No. Each show can relaunch after 6 weeks. That keeps the board fresh, stops the same shows from crowding every week, and gives each return a more meaningful promotion moment.

How do votes work?

Your episode gets a public page where listeners can play the episode and vote. The weekly ranking is ordered by listener votes during that week, then results are locked after the board closes.

Where do the listeners come from?

Some come from people browsing The Pod Radar, and some come from the audience you send in. The point is to give your existing listeners a focused action that can also make your episode easier for new listeners to notice.

What is Creator Exchange?

Exchange is where podcast creators find guest swaps, promo swaps, and collaboration partners. Rankings help create proof around your show; Exchange helps you turn that proof into creator-to-creator growth.

Not a pay-to-rank chart. Not a podcast directory.

The free listing is the core product. Paid featured placement can add visibility, but the ranking still comes from listeners.
