Podcast Review

Podcast Review is an online magazine focused on podcast criticism and discovery, founded in 2018. It publishes in-depth reviews, interviews with podcast creators, and curated best-in-category lists to help listeners find shows that match their interests. The publication is a property of Daylight Media and operates with editorial independence, disclosing any coverage of Daylight-affiliated shows.

The site addresses the discovery problem in podcasting by moving beyond popularity charts, offering human-curated recommendations and long-form editorial analysis rather than algorithmic or AI-generated summaries. Content is produced by a staff of writers and contributors, including a managing editor and staff writers, who cover genres such as true crime, history, storytelling, comedy, and TV/film companion podcasts. The publication also produces monthly recommendation roundups and category-specific lists.

Podcast Review serves both casual and dedicated podcast listeners seeking recommendations, as well as podcast creators and industry professionals interested in critical coverage and interviews. It positions itself as applying the same editorial rigor to podcasts that is traditionally given to film and literature. The company is distinct from the similarly named "Podcast Review Show," a separate podcast hosted by consultants offering feedback on submitted shows.
