Aurora Finds Interesting New Podcasts for You
iOS: There are hundreds of great podcasts out there, so picking the best one is difficult. This is where the new Aurora app comes to the rescue, dedicated to the best and most interesting podcasts. Each proposal is curated by real people who listened to the shows in question before recommending them.
Aurora is created by the same team behind Opinion , the podcasting app we talked about earlier . The app features carefully curated podcast playlists filled with episodes of recent shows that have been listened to and selected by the team behind the app, and you can listen to as many episodes as you like.
While featured playlists and episodes were created by humans, Aurora takes a more machine-like approach to the shows on offer. When the app knows what you are listening to and what you are subscribing to, it will suggest you other new podcasts and episodes based on that and what’s popular on the internet. Best of all, it gives you all of this in a beautiful visual feed that’s fun to watch and listen to.
In all fairness, Aurora doesn’t have the explicit features and options that other podcast catchers like Overcast , our current favorite podcast manager for iPhone, have . While you can use it as a horseshoe trap, it’s best to help you find new listening stuff, which you can then go and subscribe to your favorite listening app. Follow the link below to give it a try.
