The mission of Discover Pods is simple and straightforward: we want to help you find your next favorite podcast. Though this is a lofty goal that includes podcast reviews and recommendations, it also incorporates writing about the industry current events, trends in podcasting, and our own commentary and analysis. We are constantly updating reviews and lists, and exploring new products to ensure our recommendations are always as accurate and helpful as possible.

We nerd out over podcasts and take our reviews and recommendations very seriously. As such, we try our best to provide thorough information about a show or product to inform the audience the best we can. If you ever have a question, please email contact@discoverpods.com and we’ll get back to you.

Running and maintaining Discover Pods is not cheap, however. From web servers, domain maintenance, and software, there are many expenses to running this blog. To make money we have a number of relationships with podcast hosting companies, and this page will provide a transparent view into these relationships.

Finally, to cover these expenses and run the business, Discover Pods uses referral links. These referral links don’t cost you anything, but if you make a purchase from one of the companies Discover Pods may earn a commission from the sale.

Discover Pods uses referral links for most consumer products and podcast hosting companies you find on the site.  

We feel fortunate in that we have an affiliate relationship (either direct or through places like Amazon) with nearly every company whose products are reviewed on Discover Pods – which helps us maintain our own personal integrity and reduce financial bias on the site. Being able to deliver an honest, clear, and straightforward reviews is our most important guiding principle. That being said, we want to make readers aware of the incentives at play so that they have all information possible when evaluating products.

Extremely rarely, microphone or headphone companies will send Discover Pods products in hopes that we’ll review it. However, there are no guarantees for these companies that we will write about the products at all, and certainly no guarantees that we will review it favorably.

Ultimately, Discover Pods is supported by our readers from simply telling your friends and family, and sharing on social media. Discover Pods was created and continues to live because of readers and fans like yourself. For that, we would like to sincerely say thank you. We truly do love being able to run Discover Pods and help our readers get their podcast news. Thank you for trusting us.
