Find new Podcasts
To find podcasts on LISTEN, we recommend using the Top Page.
Finding podcasts on the top page
On the Top Page, you can explore podcasts in various ways that match your preferences.
You can also organize your own information here, such as “Following,” “Recommended,” “Purchased,” “Favorites,” and “Play History.”
It is recommended for those who want to first find out what kinds of podcasts are available or try listening to popular episodes.

Following
Podcasts you follow will be listed on the Top Page in order of newest updates.
“Popularly Listened” / “Popularly Read”
On the LISTEN Top Page, the “Popularly Listened” and “Popularly Read” sections display episodes that are currently being played the most.
#声日記(Koe-nikki)
Below the "Trending" section, you will find the "#声日記" section.
Due to the popularity of voice diaries on LISTEN, episodes with "#声日記" are now displayed together here.
(If you add "#声日記" to the summary column of an episode, it will not appear in the "Trending". Thank you for your understanding.)
New Podcasts
Podcast channels that have released new episodes are listed in order of their publication date.
Categories
Various categories are displayed, allowing you to search from the ones that suit you best.

Use the search function to find podcasts
On the right side of the LISTEN logo, there is a "Search" field.

Type in any word, and hashtags, users, and podcast channels containing that word will appear as candidates.
You can also type in a word and hit enter to see a list of episodes that contain that word in the summary or transcribed text.
This is recommended for those who want to "listen to podcasts that talk about 〇〇" or "find episodes that mention 〇〇 in conversation," not just hashtags.
Others
In addition to the above functions, you can also use the "Trackback function" to link podcast channels and episodes mentioned in an episode.
(How to find podcasts using the "Trackback function" is explained on this page.)
