"Pocket Casts users will continue to enjoy: A wide variety of podcasts from hundreds of national and international producers;"

I hope this is just an unintentional underrepresentation of how many podcast producers are out there (many thousands, not just hundreds) and doesn't mean they're limiting which podcasts can be listened to in Pocket Casts.

It's possible it's just a count of how many podcasts are included in the "Discover" section. I don't know what the process for getting added to that is.

It covers almost all of the "big" podcasts, but there are a handful of local ones I've had to add manually.

You can submit podcasts to them to get added[0]. They added my tiny podcast without any hassle.

You can plug in a feed url to the add section for podcasts they don't know about.
PocketCasts is interesting because arguably the Discover section is less central than other apps (I can't remember the last time I used except to do searches for new shows vs. other apps where the main page is loaded for recommendations of shows I don't care about).

I wonder if that changes.
