How podcast matches work

Podcasts are scored on the same ten characteristics as films and matched with your own match bands, from your film and TV taste. The scores are estimates, from fixed rules plus a one-off AI reading of each show's own description and episode titles. Quality badges never change your match.

Similar in feel

Matched on pace, tone, themes and production, not just genre.
