The idea

Show the creator’s work, whole

A feed carries far more than most apps read: chapters, transcripts, soundbites, hosts and guests, donations, recording locations, live streams. Pod Monster's job is to show exactly what the creator published — nothing replaced, nothing stripped, nothing generated over the top of their work.

The goal is to reach 100% coverage for what the Podcast Index makes possible, starting with iOS, then moving to web and Android. When a show fills those fields in, you see them. When it doesn't, you still have a fast player and a tidy library.

No settings to turn on. The extras show up when a feed has them.
