Ask HN: Is there a website / service to follow Podcasts, hosts and guests?

I built a podcast search engine, where you can search a person's name and get all podcast episodes that interview or talk about this person: https://www.listennotes.com/

You can get notified if a specific keyword is mentioned in the latest podcasts (like Google Alerts): https://www.listennotes.com/alerts/

No social features, so probably not exactly what you want :)

Though I don't know of any, I think it's a really interesting question. I used Spotify before switching to Apple Podcasts, both of whom offer clean interfaces (and Apple's difference is downloading the podcasts before starting as opposed to streaming).

None of these services allow me to tap/click on the name of a guest and see what other podcasts they've appeared in. It seems like an interesting concept to assign profiles to a podcast service; maybe a small startup idea?

Breaker builds social experiences around podcasts by notifying you when your friends appear on or listen to podcasts.
