Podcasts are spoken documents across a wide-range of genres and styles, with skyrocketing listenership across the world, and a rapidly lowering barrier to entry for both listeners and creators. The great strides which have been made in search and recommendation in research and industry have yet to see impact in the podcast space, where recommendations are still largely driven by word of mouth.
