CLUSTER PODCAST-LISTENING-PLAYER · 65 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2011-01-26
Podcast player apps
This cluster comprises podcast player applications that support subscription management, offline downloads, discovery, playback controls, and often cross-device sync. Entries appear in most months from 2011 to mid-2026, with counts typically between one and three per month, showing a steady, low-volume stream without any dominant period of concentration. The top traction signals are GetPodcast, FluidCast, and Pocket Casts, each with 0 stars in activity signal.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 20 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
