About Goodpods

We started Goodpods for those moments when you're staring at your phone -- about to hop in the car or go for a run -- wondering what podcast to listen to next, wishing that someone would magically appear with a good recommendation.

And who better to get those recommendations from than friends who know you best or experts you admire? This already exists with books. And music. We just wanted it for podcasts too!

The Team

The Sister: Over the last 13 years, I’ve hosted a show for NBC News called Your Business, a podcast called Been There Built That and a series on BBC World News called Follow the Food.

I also got my MBA from Stanford, had three kids, and partnered with my brother on Goodshop, an online coupon site which has donated more than $13 million to charity. Phew! I need to kick my feet up and listen to some podcasts!

One episode you’ll find on my playlist: Everything is Alive: Ana, Elevator.

JJ Ramberg

The Brother: After graduating from Stanford, I co-founded JOBTRAK, one of the first and largest online job sites. Twelve years in we merged with Monster.com and then it was on to the next idea, building Goodshop with JJ.

What really excites me now is Goodpods. My friends and family are probably also thrilled that I no longer need to ask, "What should I listen to next?"

What you’ll find on my podcast playlist: Slow Burn, American History Tellers, Mogul, Blackout, and lots more!

Goodpods Groups

Have you ever been part of a book club? Or a Facebook group? Or Clubhouse? If so, you already know what a Goodpods Group is. It’s a place to get together on the app with friends or people who are interested in similar subjects and share podcasts with each other.

Some examples of groups already on the app include Self-Help Junkies, The Christian Women’s Book Club, Autism Awareness, Sci-Fi Podshare, Garden Podcasts, History Lovers and The Astrology Group as well as groups focused around individual podcasts and small groups of friends.
