Hark editors do the heavy lifting, we enjoy!!

The daily round up of clips from around the podcast world is amazing. Right at my finger tips is an enormous array of topics organized in a manageable manner. What a relief!! I can enjoy and learn without the stress of searching for the latest info. I love this app and listen daily.

My favorite podcast app

This is my new favorite app. I LOVE being able to listen to the themes harklists...they’ve exposed me to some amazing new podcasts that I now listen to religiously. More importantly, I’ve found myself listening to lists about topics I would never have thought to listen to an entire podcast on. I am so so thankful for hark!

You Need This

If you feel like you’re drowning in podcasts people insist you should be listening to, I have one more recommendation that’s ironically going to solve your problem.

Hark curates the best of podcasting world allowing you to catch the stuff you truly NEED to hear. The interesting factoids that will intrigue you. The hilarious stories that you can share with friends. I get it, you only have time for the good stuff—Hark gets you the good stuff.

Great podcast discovery tool.

A lifeboat on the open sea of millions of podcasts.
The way topics and clips from podcasts are organized makes it easy to navigate; on a recent weekend I learned more about topical subjects (NFT’s and the Electoral College) by sampling a few short clips on each from different podcasts, ran across a fresh interview with one of my favorite authors on a podcast I didn’t know existed, and dug into some music topic archives where I learned about the Beatles and the roots of “back masking”, and how the Beastie Boys recorded their first single.

Fun community way to discover new podcasts, hear highlights about new topics from a variety of podcasts and points of view, and dig deep into topics.

Genius—browsing by ear!

Harks lets me browse and index the sprawling world of podcasts by ear -- with the help of smart, sharp listeners everywhere. It's surprising, informative, entertaining, and really useful: the kind of thing you don't know you need until you have it. Well done!

Hark

As a avid podcast listener I have become addicted to hark. I really appreciate that they take clips and group them, making it easy to listen to the best parts of podcasts about what I’m into.

It’s the best.

I am a podcast NUT and Hark is the app that my brain would have dreamed up if it could have. It’s beautiful and is chock-full of podcast moments I can’t find anywhere else, literally, and that I can’t stop listening to. A Harkllist, like the Song Exploder one, took me to another place. I pretty much forgot where I was when I was listening to it. I think this is solving the podcast discoverability problem for both listeners and podcasters. Spending time in Hark is such a treat…it’s impossible to not be moved by what you hear, impossible not to take something away with you when you leave.

Feels like podcast mixtapes!

Being on Hark is like being able to choose exactly what you want to listen to in a way that goes beyond just having a favorite podcast. I am particularly enjoying the harklist on the best moments of artists talking about creating their own songs. Hark also has now replaced all my other news apps—why listen to one opinion when Hark lets me listen to the best bits from all different sides of a top story!

Love the Harklists!

I’ve become totally addicted to Harklists. I love being able to hear from a bunch of different podcasts. Half the time I end up listening to a whole episode because the clip was so interesting.

I just gave up

So many other podcast players out there, and this one is just too confusing to use. The idea of Harklists and the clipping feature is vaguely interesting, but not enough to distinguish this one. Plus, who is going to see them anyway? Maybe once it takes off, there will be communities around different topics.
