100% agree. And not just "the two guys joking around tag" but the "we recorded this in one take and then published straight from garage band." That would be a significant improvement over the podcasts discovery tools inside of every podcasting app.

That make it a lot easier for any of the new shows coming out that are trying to be like a Radiotopia or Gimlet style show, to be discovered.

I agree, It's easy to waste a lot of time on these podcasts. I hope that over time with the voting, the best stuff rises to the top

Can we have metadata ? Submittors can mark up "the talk starts at 1:22, topic X starts at 1:34, ..."?

Might be enough to just tag certain podcasts as "amateur"

I don't think that is such a great idea- Sometimes very professional people who are amateurs at audio production and amateurs at public speaking make awesome podcasts- The tag would need to be a lot more specific.

Agree!! Mixergy does almost zero post production but has amazing content if you're in the startup space.
