21. Discover some useful search tools for locating podcasts.

For this challenge I researched podcast search engines. These are some that I found to be interesting and easy to use as well as informative.

This search engine is called plugged you can search for podcasts as well as video. It has a subject directory to help you narrow down what you are looking for.

Next I visited Yahoo Podcasts. This is a good place to start your hunt for podcasts especially if you are new to podcasting because Yahoo has everything written out in plain and simple terms. You can read about “What is a podcast,?” you can search the comprehensive directory, and you can listen to the podcast directly from the browser or download the mp3.


I also checked out podnova. At first it looks like you need to sign up for an account here but I was still able to browse without signing up. What I enjoyed here was the top 40 podcasts! It’s kind of fun to browse around and see what everyone else is listening to. Once you see something of interest you can click on the show title and link to a page with all of the information you would want to know about that particular podcast. Very informative!

These three sites are a good start in podcast search engines, but my personal favorite place to search for podcasts is in
iTunes! But I am a die hard Apple Lovin Geek!
