About MicScout

MicScout helps people find podcasts by place and topic, and helps guests and brands reach the shows that fit them.

What MicScout does

MicScout organizes U.S. podcasts by the city and state they come from and by what they cover. Listeners can browse local shows, would-be guests can find podcasts that fit their expertise, and brands can find shows that reach a specific market. Podcasters can submit their show and claim its profile.

Where the data comes from

Listings are built from public podcast data:

Each show's own public RSS feed, which supplies the title, description, artwork, categories, and episodes.
Public podcast directories, which help us discover feeds.
Podcast owners, who submit and claim their shows.

We link to each show's website and feed and don't host audio. Listings update when publishers change their feeds.

How locations are decided

We list a show under a city when its feed names the location, its description says where it's based, or its owner tells us. Each profile shows which of these applies.

Guest and sponsorship information

A show gets the “Accepting guests” or “Open to sponsors” badge when its team tells us. Requests go through MicScout, so a podcaster's email stays private unless they choose to publish it.

Corrections and removals

If you run a podcast listed here, use the “Claim this podcast” link on its profile to update the details, correct the location, or ask for the listing to be removed. To add a show, use the submission form.
