Pariahware Inc. has released Podcast Tuner, an application for Mac OS X and Windows that helps users find podcasts they’re interested in by providing lists similar to the guides found on cable television boxes and personal video recorders. Podcast Tuner is sold for $10 for a monthly guide subscription ($100 annually), and a free trial subscription is included. System requirements call for Mac OS X v10.2 or later.
Moving the mouse over the guide displays the podcast description, the episode description or the podcast art. A click on that episode will begin the download so you can listen and see if it’s something you like. Using a “station” paradigm, Podcast Tuner lets you select favorite podcasts, which you can display as your favorites too. Podcast publishers are encouraged to get in touch with Pariahware if they wish to have their podcast listed.
