Podcast exceptionalism needs better recognition.

At Sounds Debatable™, we honor exceptionalism through PodFive™ —a curated showcase of the most outstanding resources, tools, ideas, and examples that are actively pushing the medium forward. We’re constantly on the lookout for the people, platforms, and projects that raise the bar in podcasting. If you know of something that deserves a spot on PodFive™, we’d love to hear about it.

While Artificial Intelligence has made remarkable progress, there are still significant and glaring bugs within almost all of the tools built specifically for the podcasting market.
After thorough testing, it’s clear these tools aren’t ready for primetime, and as such, we are not recommending any of them at this time.
