the real marketplace of ideas

Advertising and the attention economy corrupted social media. That's why we want to find a more sustainable path for podcasts. We made piqo+ with Smart Skip to skip ads while still supporting the creators you love. Once a creator has verified their ownership of a podcast, they get a share of piqo+ subscription revenue with no strings attached.

We're also developing a better way to share, so you can discover (and help your friends discover) great episodes without an Algorithm choosing them for you. Bookmark, clip, and share as you listen. Clips will always be shared with the context they were clipped from, so if you like what you hear, you can keep listening to full episodes.

We're also developing piqopulse, an API for teams looking to make sense of the massive amount of podcast content that exists on the web. This freely available, open public discourse should be mined for data, not you. We don't advertise to you. We don't sell or share your personal data. What little information we collect is used solely in the piqo app to make your experience better (e.g. allowing you to search your listen history).
