Listen to every podcast on YourTalks free. Unlimited, on every plan, forever. Then make your own. Type or say what you're curious about — anything from "why do we dream" to "the history of coffee" — and YourTalks researches it, writes a conversation between two hosts, and produces studio-quality audio you can start playing in about a minute. RESEARCHED, NOT GUESSED Every episode is built from real sources — academic institutions, government sites, established publications — and every one is listed and linked inside the app. Tap any source to see exactly where the information came from. TWO HOSTS, A REAL CONVERSATION Atlas and Nova explain, push back, and build on each other, so it plays like a show you'd subscribe to instead of a robot reading an article aloud. FOLLOW ALONG A word-synced transcript highlights as the hosts speak. Tap any line to jump to that moment. Chapters let you skip around longer episodes. LISTEN ANYWHERE Download for offline listening on flights and subways. Background audio, lock-screen controls, and playback speed from 0.5x to 3x.

podcasts.so is podcast discovery that works the way your curiosity does: by interest, not just by show. Most apps make you already know which podcast to open or use the same categories everyone else does. podcasts.so reads across the whole podcast universe and finds the episodes that talk about the things you care about: a person, a city, a book, a team, a topic. Follow an interest once and every show that covers it comes to you. DISCOVER BY INTEREST • Follow people, places, books, teams, and topics — not just shows. • See every episode across all podcasts that mentions what you follow. • Trending topics show what the podcast world is talking about right now. • Show-to-show recommendations. • Shop your favorite shows (when they have a store). A MAP OF WHAT PODCASTS ARE TALKING ABOUT • Explore an interactive map of the places podcasts mention. • Tap any place to see the shows that actually cover it — ranked by how much they focus on it, so local voices rise above national name-drops. • Spot the shows you already follow at a glance. A REAL PLAYER, DONE RIGHT • Smooth scrubbing, chapters, and artwork. • Read the transcript as you listen — and search inside episodes. • Download for offline listening. • CarPlay support for the drive. • Your place in every episode syncs across your devices. • Control what plays next — pick a show, clear your in-progress, or build a queue. • Sleep timer so you don't doze through a whole series.
