The problem

Teams follow dozens of podcasts. Nobody checks Spotify every day.

Engineering teams

follow software podcasts

Marketing teams

follow growth podcasts

Product teams

follow product leaders

AI teams

follow machine learning podcasts

PodEvents solves this by automatically monitoring your favorite podcasts and notifying your entire team the moment a new episode is released.

How it works

From Spotify to your team in four steps

01

Sign in with Google

Create your PodEvents account without connecting a personal Spotify library.

02

Choose podcasts to monitor

Pick engineering, AI, startup, or any niche shows your team follows.

03

PodEvents checks Spotify

Cron scheduling continuously scans for newly released episodes.

04

Instant notifications

Your team receives alerts on Slack, Discord, or Telegram.
