  Hi everyone! The maker (and CEO) of Wave here. Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback on the app.

  We're a seed funded start-up from Stockholm, Sweden with a background from Spotify and Beats Music among other things. We have been working on this for almost a year now. Our goal is to make the podcast experience more social and build the best platform for discovery and listening possible. We have a ton of cool features lined up waiting to be released in the coming months. But we're starting small with a very focused and simple app.

  It's a pretty big stretch to call your application a "Reddit for podcasts" when you only have an iOS application. The biggest part of Reddit is its web interface (and associated plugins), and your app doesn't attempt that.

  Looks nice. I've been looking for a new podcast app for quite awhile since my old favorite was removed from the app store (acquired?).

  How do you get content? do you have authors for permission or are you only hosting content that's free to distribute?
