Comment on Ask HN: Why don't podcasts have comments?

Comments

I don’t have direct experience using this app called Breaker [1], but it’s designed to have some social features for podcasts so you can connect with friends or check other recommendations.

The fact that podcasts are distributed as RSS feeds to the podcast directories, such as Apple, Google, Spotify, etc., means that some centralized platform would be required for comments and other interactions. Many podcast authors have their own podcast websites where they may allow comments, but other listeners may not know of those sites or care to comment there when they have a ready interface to comment on Apple or Google or Spotify from their favorite podcast player.
