On this episode of Growin' Up Rock, we talk with Podchaser co-founder Cole Raven. Podcasts are booming. There's a podcast for everything, and Podchaser’s database and discovery engine has quickly become a go-to resource for podcast devotees. Officially beta-launched in July 2017, Podchaser is often called the IMDB or Rotten Tomatoes of podcasting, allowing listeners to rate and review shows, as well as individual episodes. In addition to Podchaser’s awesome review and rating system that is SUPER easy to use, they also allow you the listener to put together your own favorite playlist of shows and share easily throughout all your social media accounts. (Find our favorite Episode Playlist Here). With a library of over 18 million podcast episodes, they are the one-stop-shop for all things related to discovering awesome new podcasts to listen to and share with whomever you want. Growin' Up Rock caught up with co-founder Cole Raven to get the inside scoop on how Podchaser developed, what they have to offer, and what they're trying to achieve as a company. We also get to know him and find out more about Cole and the massive amount of podcasts he listens to as he’s running obstacle courses or training for the next season of Survivor (OK We completely made that part up about Survivor, but I think he might be good on it.). We vow to help Cole with his playlist by adding a healthy dose of Rock n Roll to improve his time out on the running course. Hear from Cole what he thinks makes a great podcast. In addition to all of this, Sonny and Steven decide to go Punk, so tune in to find out what we mean. Help us fund the Rock N Pod Expo 2 this year in Nashville.
