FAQ
What does PodWho do?
PodWho follows people, not shows. Add a guest to My List and we email you when they show up on a new podcast episode.
How do you find a guest's episodes?
We search the web for episode pages that show the person appeared as a guest, then link you to listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. Each episode has to name them, not just a first name, so a host who happens to share a first name doesn't count.
What if I find the wrong person?
Tap "Not the … you're looking for?" on the guest's card and pick another match.
What if an episode doesn't have my guest on it?
Tap Wrong person? on that episode. It disappears for you right away, from that guest's results, your email and your podcast feed, and it's sent to us to review. It usually happens when a show's host shares a first name with your guest. If you tapped it by mistake, use Undo on the message that pops up.
How often do you check, and when does the email arrive?
We check My List every day and email you only when there's something new. Choose your time, or turn the New episode email on or off, under Email in the menu. The default is on, at 6:00 AM.
I'm not getting the new episode email. What should I check?
Open Email in the menu and make sure New episode email is turned on. Some early accounts started with it off, and the "Turn off these alerts" link in any email turns it off too. While you're there, check the time you picked.
The email only comes on days when a guest on My List has a new episode, so a quiet day means no email. To test it, tap Send my email now in the same window: you'll get anything new right away, or your most recent episodes if nothing's new. You can do that 3 times in 24 hours.
Still nothing? Search your email for "PodWho" (including Spam and Promotions), and write to podwho@oneezra.com.
Can I get my email right now instead of waiting?
Yes. Open Email in the menu and tap Send my email now. It uses what we've already found, so it's instant, and anything it sends won't be repeated in the next day's email. It's limited to 3 times in 24 hours; your regular email still comes at its usual time.
Can I get new episodes in my podcast app?
Yes, with Pro. Tap RSS in the menu to get your own private podcast feed. Paste the link into a podcast app that can add a show by URL, like Overcast, Pocket Casts or Apple Podcasts. New episodes from the guests on My List then show up next to your other shows. Spotify doesn't take outside feeds.
In Overcast, use the app (not the website): tap +, then Add URL, paste your link and tap Done. Overcast is just one example, not an endorsement: PodWho isn't affiliated with any podcast app. Remove a guest from My List and their episodes leave the feed; add one and theirs join it.
Keep the link to yourself. If it gets out, tap Make a new link in the RSS window and the old one stops working. A few episodes can't be matched to the show's audio, so they're in your email but not the feed.
How do I stop getting a show I don't want?
Ignore it. Tap Ignore on the episode in search, or Ignore this show under it in your email, then choose just for that guest or for all guests. The email link works without signing in. You can also search for a show on My Pods and tap Ignore, for all guests or ahead of time for one of your guests (handy for a guest's own show, before any episode of it turns up). Anything on your Ignore List stays out of your email and podcast feed, and shows as a thin line in search.
Just for one guest: say you follow a host who has their own show you already listen to. Ignore their show for them, and if another guest you follow appears on it, you still hear about it. For all guests: a podcast that only replays old clips is ignored whoever it features. Manage the list, or restore one, in Ignore in the menu.
What goes into my email and podcast feed?
Both come from one place: the guests on My List. When a guest you follow shows up on a new episode, it goes in your new episode email and, with Pro, your RSS podcast feed.
Two things change that. Shows you Ignore, for one guest or for all guests, are left out of both. And a few episodes can't be matched to the show's audio, so they're in your email but not the feed.
My Pods and Favorites aren't part of either one. My Pods are shows you like, so you can spot when a guest turns up on one; to get every episode of a show, follow it in your podcast app. Favorites (♥) are episodes you save to come back to on PodWho.
What's free, and what's Pro?
Free follows 1 guest. Pro is $3 a month for up to 50. See everything Pro includes.
How do I cancel Pro?
Use Billing in the menu. Pro stays active until the end of the period you've paid for, and your guests stay saved if you come back.
What's the difference between My List, My Pods and Favorites?
My List is the guests you follow. It's what your email and podcast feed are built from.
My Pods are shows you love, with a few recent guests you can tap to follow. Favorites (♥) are single episodes you save to come back to. Neither one changes your email or feed.
Why can't I find the newest episode?
New episodes can take a day or two to show up in search. Try the guest's full name, and check "Further research" below the first results.
Is my information private?
Yes. We use your email only to sign you in and send your alerts, and your Favorites are private to your account.
What happens when I share?
A shared list shows a friendly handle, never your email, and only if you turn sharing on. If a friend signs up through your link or QR code, we note that they joined through you, to understand how the network grows.
How do Friends work?
Find people by their handle, follow them, and add guests from their lists to yours. You choose Who can follow me on your Profile (in the menu), along with your handle and whether your share link includes your lists:
Nobody (hidden) is the default. You don't show up in search and no one can follow you. People I approve lets people find your profile and ask to follow; tap Confirm or Delete under Requests. Delete is silent, so they aren't told. Anyone lets people follow you right away and see your guests and pods.
Your profile shows your handle, when you joined, and how many guests, pods and followers you have, never your email. Under Followers you can follow people back or remove them. A red dot on the menu means someone asked to follow you. Sharing your lists by link is a separate switch on your Profile, and only people you send the link to can see them. If anyone can follow you, a friend who opens your shared list follows you automatically, and they can undo it. You can see and change your status on the Friends page, next to Followers and Following.
Who can see my email?
A PodWho administrator can see account emails and basic activity (sign-ups, invites, upgrades) to keep the site running smoothly and securely. It's used only for that.
How do I report a guest?
Sign in and tap Report on the guest's card. A person reviews every report. Read more in our community standards below.
What do I do if I need help?
Reply to any PodWho email, or write to podwho@oneezra.com.
Community standards
PodWho is a listening and research tool. People track guests they admire, and also people they disagree with or want to keep an eye on: researchers, journalists, advocates, anyone who needs to know what a hateful or harmful voice is saying. So we don't remove someone simply because their views are offensive. The same tools should be available to everyone doing that work, including the people working against those views.
What we ask of you. Use PodWho to follow and listen, never to harass anyone.
What we do about harmful content. If you believe a guest's content promotes hate, bigotry, extremism, harm to children or oppression, tap Report on their card and tell us why. A person reviews every report. If we agree, the guest gets a quiet notice ("We're not confident in the content this person shares"), and we stop suggesting them on the home page. We don't block searches: they can still be searched and tracked, so you can keep up with what they say.

My Pods
My Pods are for discovering who's on the shows you like. Your email and podcast feed follow the guests on My List, so a show's episodes reach you when someone you follow is on it.
