Hi, I’m Nathan and today I’m launching my new website, Pod Particle, a site devoted to covering the universe of podcasting.

I love podcasts of all kinds and have spent good chunks of my life listening to podcasts, whether I’ve been in my car on the way to work, at home scrubbing dishes or taking a walk around the neighborhood. If you’re a podcast lover too, you’ve probably noticed how podcasting has exploded in a thousand different directions over the last decade, covering an unbelievable range of topics, from sports to comedy, pets to fashion, personal growth to music.

As a listener, this growth has been great–I’m always discovering new podcasts on new topics. On the other hand, I’ve found keeping up with the ever-expanding podcast universe to be close to impossible. What podcasts are already out there that I haven’t discovered? What new podcasts are being developed and by whom? Is a podcaster on a temporary hiatus or are they done forever? Is there a live podcast event coming to my town? Typically, I’ll hunt and peck to find this information on my own, so I thought why not develop a website that covers some of the more interesting bits about podcasts. I can’t cover everything, but I will try to bring you some of the more significant news involving podcasts, as well as feature articles that look more closely at some podcasts and the great people behind them.

I hope you like Pod Particle, and if things go well, I hope to grow this site to bring in more viewpoints and cover more of the expanding podcast universe. Please have a look around, and if you’re interested, follow Pod Particle on Twitter, Tumblr or Google+.

Thanks for visiting!
