An honest record of what we've built — open to all.

Subscription import, creator requests & language filters
✨ Features
- Bring your subscriptions with you. Export an OPML file from your old podcast app and import it from your library — we match every feed we can and follow them all at once, then show you exactly what was imported and what we couldn't find.
- Ask for the creators you're missing. On any show that hasn't been claimed by its creator yet, you can now say “I want this creator here”. We count every request, you can share the ask with the creator directly, and we'll email you the moment they join.
- Pick the languages you listen in. Signing up now asks which languages you want content in, pre-ticking the ones your device already uses. Your podcast recommendations are filtered to those languages from then on, and you can change them any time in settings.
- Search that ignores accents. Searching for guardia now finds guàrdia, and cafe finds café — across podcasts and episodes.
- Discovery in your language. When we look beyond our own library, we now search the catalogues that match your content languages instead of defaulting to the US one.
- Mark a whole podcast as played or unplayed from a single menu on the podcast page, instead of working through episodes one at a time.
- Block and report. You can block someone from your comments, report a user, and manage everyone you've blocked from a new page in settings. Our community guidelines explain what we act on.
- No more CAPTCHA when you sign up. We removed the challenge from the sign-up form.
- A refreshed home page, and a page for creators. The signed-in home page leads with what you're listening to, and everything aimed at podcasters now lives on its own for creators page.
- New-episode indicators. Shows you follow now flag when they have episodes you haven't heard yet.
🐛 Fixes & improvements
- Much faster episode search. Searching episodes now uses a pre-built, accent-normalised index instead of scanning titles, so results come back quickly even as the library grows.
- Podcast titles with accents display correctly — names arriving from feeds with encoded characters are no longer shown with
à-style escapes. - Your personal pages now require signing in. Settings, library, and onboarding no longer render for signed-out visitors.
- Episode descriptions are no longer clipped on desktop.
- Carousel arrows stay inside their column and no longer overlap the sidebar.
- Links shared to social networks show their preview image reliably, on every page.
- The library import button no longer breaks the page.
- Checkout problems now tell you what happened instead of failing silently.
- Security updates across the web app and its dependencies.

Responsive design for phones and tablets
✨ Features
- Full-screen player on smaller screens. Tap the mini-player at the bottom to expand it into a full-screen view — large cover art, a draggable progress bar, skip 10s / 30s, playback speed, volume, and quick access to your queue. Swipe it back down to keep browsing.
- Redesigned episode list on phones. Episode rows are now more compact and easier to scan, showing the date, duration, and your listening progress at a glance, with all the per-episode actions tucked into a single menu.
🐛 Fixes & improvements
- Cleaner progress indicator. Episodes in progress now show a single orange percentage instead of a duplicated progress bar, across all screen sizes.

Search & discovery improvements
✨ Features
- Faster new-episode discovery. New episodes from imported shows now appear on the platform within about 15 minutes of being published — previously they could take up to half a day.
🐛 Fixes & improvements
- Quick search (⌘K / Ctrl+K) now searches radio stations too, alongside podcasts and episodes — and shows a “searching external catalogs…” indicator while we look beyond our own library, matching the full search page.
- The quick-search palette is now focused purely on search results, without navigation clutter.
- Blog pages load reliably again.
