How to discover podcasts on SignalFyre
We scout beyond the charts, test the RSS feed, and rank every show by signal — not subscriber count. Preview the first five minutes of any episode, combine tags in Tag-a-long, and hide what you have already heard.

How to discover podcasts
- 1
Pick a trail
Choose a tag or category that matches your curiosity, not what the charts are pushing.
- 2
Check the signal
Look for a high signal score: niche, active, and off-chart — not just a big audience.
- 3
Preview an episode
Listen to the first five minutes before you commit. If the voice hooks you, keep it.
- 4
Combine tags
In Tag-a-long, pick two or more tags to intersect trails and find shows that carry all of them. Suggest tags on any show — a scout reviews before they publish.
- 5
Grab the feed
Tap the green Copy RSS Feed button on any show, then paste it into your podcast app of choice to subscribe.
- 6
Keep the trail fresh
Hide shows you've already added so Discoveries keeps surfacing new signal. Untagged shows stay out of public feeds until a scout tags them.

Field Manual
How the signal score works
Every discovery gets a 0–100 signal score — a scout's read on how much attention a show deserves relative to the noise around it. Higher scores mean stronger signal, not bigger audience.
- Niche
- Shows working a rare genre earn more than shows in crowded lanes.
- Curator
- A boost when a human scout has personally staked a note on the show.
- Activity
- Recent episodes and a steady cadence beat archives that went quiet.
- Off-chart
- Chart-toppers sit outside our scope — you already know where to find them.
Scores are rebuilt from the RSS feed on every visit — no black-box ranking, no paid placement.
