We’re excited to release collector profiles on Pods.

This has been a much needed feature on the platform.

Anyone can now view, listen, and mint any podcast directly from a collector’s profile.

Profiles also showcase favorite pods – ranked by most collected – and some basic stats, like number of podcasts supported, total number of editions held, and when they first collected on the platform.

This has been a highly requested feature among collectors – and an obvious hole in the Pods product. Before, there was no way to view someone’s collection on Pods.

Now, it’s possible :)

New Navigation

You’ll also notice that with collector profiles, we’ve shipped a new navigation feature.

For collectors, this will allow you to find your profile at any point, as well as display your ETH balance and network. Whitelisted podcasts on the platform will also be able to navigate to their dashboard to create and manage their onchain episodes.

If you’d like to explore other profiles on the platform, you can find them on any of the podcast and episode leaderboards or search their ENS name via the pods.media URL:

pods.media/user/ensname.eth

What’s Next?

While profiles aren’t the most innovative feature ever, they do represent a key piece of the platform.

With that in mind – we have an awesome feature that we’re going to ship for profiles next week. 🚢

It’s something unique for avid podcast collectors.

Stay tuned.
