Podcast reviews

You can review products at epinions.com, books at Amazon.com and movies at IMDB.com. Why not podcasts? After all, with new podcasts emerging at a remarkable pace, it’s tough to decide which ones to try out. You might think some of the podcast directories would let listeners comment, but so far, there are only a couple of sites dedicated to reviewing podcasts. “The New, New Podcast Review” is the latest, a blog that offers “fair and balanced podcast reviews.” According to the FAQ on the blog:

“These will be reviews of podcasts and the occasional podcasting website. The podcast reviews rate the ‘cast on a scale of 5 stars, in the areas of content, delivery, audio quality, production value, and “the intangibles”. I think those categories are pretty self-explanatory except for “the intangibles” This is where the “feel” of the podcast is brought into the mix. Are the hosts enjoying themselves? Is it fun? Did I laugh?”

The site joins Podcast Alley in providing podcast reviews.

The blogger behind the site—known only as kinrowan—invites others to submit reviews or recommend podcasts for review. In addition to the five-star rating system, each review includes the format of the podcast (e.g., “talk show”), a summary of its content (e.g., “tech talk and personal commentary”), typical length, and “What I’m going to do” (e.g., “not subscribe,” “listen frequently”).
