Guest

Dan Lizette

Host of the Podcast Digest

Dan Lizette of The Podcast Digest joins the conversation about podcast culture.

Mark shares concerns about a previous recommendation, and reveals his thoughts on Brendan’s latest suggestion, which Dan chimes in about after his recent interview with Manoush Zomorodi and Jen Poyant.

Brendan suggests Mark try a podcast he’s tried before… The Incomparable Game Show. But maybe he’ll like it more this time. Recommended episodes:

Text adventure:

Family Feud style:

87: You Shall Not Pass (Answers based on Incomparable listeners, including me! Part one.)
88: Pantheon of Muppets (Part two!)

Dan shares a recommendation as well: Sleepover by CBC.

Podcast discovery is the big topic of the day, of every day really, if you think about it and the group discusses IsItGood, a new startup with initial funding to give algorithmic recommendations, and Podchaser just finished their seed funding round. More new, well-rated podcasts are coming to your ears soon.

Dan shares his story about booking great guests on podcasts, and provides some helpful tips for aspiring podcasters.

Plus, what do we think about podcasts about podcasts?
