Hark Audio vs WhatsTodoNearMe

Hark is a new way to experience the best of podcasts. Time Magazine included it in its "Best Inventions of 2021" list and Hark won the "Vision Award" from American Public Media for being the experience "most likely to reinvent journalism and media." Here’s how it works: Hark editors curate genius podcast moments into ‘Harklists’ - podcast mixtapes - that let you discover new voices, stories, perspectives… and new podcasts! We create Harklists on everything from “History’s Most Audacious Heists,” to “Unleash Your Inner Optimist,” “NBA Weekly,” “Little Known New York Food History,” “Celebrating Joan Didion” and so much more. Every week, you’ll receive “Your Weekly Hark” - a Harklist of podcast moments curated just for you. And of course, you can use Hark to listen to all of your favorite podcasts too. Hark is an easy-to-use, full-featured podcast player that lets you choose your listening speed, create a queue, pick up where you left off and listen on CarPlay or smart speakers. WHAT YOU CAN DO ON HARK Tune in to Hark Daily and tap into the most zeitgeisty podcast conversations of the day. Explore the expanding array of Harklists on everything from Books, Comedy and Science to Tech, Food, Sports, History and more. Experience “Curated by Podcasters” Harklists, created by the hosts of favorite podcasts like Song Exploder, Nice Try and Rough Translation. When you love a clip, tap “Play Full Episode” to continue listening. Bookmark episodes, Harklists and clips into your queue to listen to later.

All in a beautiful free app curated by people who love podcasts too. Let your ears wander with Hark!

Wondering what's on near you — or near where you're headed? Type any US zip or "City, ST" and WhatsToDoNearMe pulls together a fresh, curated list of real things to do: concerts, festivals, markets, museum days, outdoor events, family outings and more. Not a stale directory — it searches live and shows what's actually happening this week. FRESH, NOT A DATABASE Every search is put together on demand from local sources, so you see what's on now — not a listing someone entered three years ago. FILTER BY WHEN, INSTANTLY Today, this weekend, next week, this month — tap and the list re-sorts on the spot. SORTED THE WAY YOU THINK Results are grouped by category — Music, Arts & Theater, Festivals & Markets, Family & Kids, Outdoors, Food & Drink, and more — so you can jump to what you want. BUILT TO ACT ON Every listing has one-tap Directions, Add to Calendar, and a link to the source. See everything on a map, with distances measured from where you actually are. SAVE THE PLACES YOU CARE ABOUT Sign in to save areas — where you live, where the kids live, where you're travelling — and get a free weekly email digest of what's coming up in each. WORKS ANYWHERE IN THE US Any zip, any town. Great for planning a trip as much as a Saturday at home. No account needed to search — just open it and type a zip.
