Popcasts is an aggregator of 'most popular podcasts' (e.g. top 10 podcast).
It lets you see at a glance, on just one page, what is popular in dozens of different podcast directories, without you having to constantly check the individual directories for the latest ranking results.
It scans and synchronises with pre-registered podcast directories or ranking sites every hour and generates RSS feeds for each top 10 podcast. The sites registered to Popcasts include: Apple iTunes Podcasting, Odeo, Podnova, podfeed, iPodderX, PodcastPickle, Podcasting NEWS and Podcast Alley.
For those who are interested in Japanese or Chinese podcasting, we also have Popcasts Japanese and Popcasts Chinese. We plan to launch international podcast services in the near future, including German, French, Spanish, Chinese and Korean. User clamour will help us decide in which order to rank these language sources. Vote early and vote often.
If you want to add a directory/ranking site to Popcasts, find a bug or have a suggestion/question, please email us at english-admin@po-di-um.net.
We are especially looking for more information to develop international Popcasts. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
