Podcast & Podcast Alley Websites

If I’m honest, I really disliked using both Podcast.com and Podcastalley.com.  Podcast is probably the better of the two navigation-wise when looking for a podcast to listen to. The biggest downfall to this site are the number of podcasts that are old and outdated. It was a little difficult to find current shows of interest to listen to.
Podcast Alley on the other hand, has plenty of updated shows, but I was basically only able to find ones that were on the front page. Even then, the site directed me to another site with a listing of the podcasts they host, so it was like I wasn’t even using Podcast Alley to begin with.

Both sites contained broadcaster information – tips and tricks, technical articles, podcamps, etc. While I was able to use the sites suggested to complete my assignments this week, I do prefer sites like Stitcher or iTunes when it comes to browsing for shows to listen to. Stitcher has a variety top 100 list, another top 100 list by how much shows are either moving up in the rankings, and a great selection of categories to browse through.
