Podcast Directories – Finding shows rather than episodes

Indiepodder.org – Likely one of the more complete directories. Browse for shows from about 75 subject categories. Different people are responsible for different subject categories, making sure to keep them up to date.

iTunes – Directory and aggregator. Because of the massive popularity of iPods, and the fact that iPods rely on iTunes software for file management, this directory has the greatest market reach. Less complete than others, though.

Podcast alley – One of the first directories. It has a voter-driven top ten list, lists of five random podcasts, five brand new podcasts, and 17 subject categories to browse.

Podcast pickle – Much like Podcast Alley, except it has a top 100 list instead of top 5 and there is a rating system for how family-safe the content is.

Yahoo podcasts – 13 categories to browse through, but lots of ads on the page. You can play (stream) the podcast off the page to decide if you want to subscribe.

Odeo – Subscription site. Has a top 40 list, staff picks, tagged audio and category called ‘The Zeitgeist’.

Podcast.net – Browsable like the classic Yahoo interface. You can also search by audience-generated tags.

Podnova – Stripped down search interface like Google, with a directory and two top forty lists only a click away.

Podfeed – Directory with about 17 categories to browse. You can search within a category or across the whole directory. You can also browse by user-generated tags.
