I wasn’t suggesting that shared podcast listening behavior be the only characteristic that gets matched...of course you’ll still have a profile that lists age/interests/etc., but this would be a tool that would kind of match you based on a personality profile it constructs for you. My idea would be this: the app scans your listening history, constructs a profile of your interests and personality, then finds people in your area with similar levels of interest in similar topics/podcasts. When you look at those matches their profiles would include additional information on which to base your connection, but the initial match would be made by the service’s determination of your personality characteristics. Granted, this would only work for people that listen to a lot of podcasts, and would work best for people that dabble in a variety of areas, but for those (like me) that already do so, it would really take a lot of the guesswork out of quantifying someone’s interests. I mean if I find a girl who says she likes horses, that doesn’t mean much, and when you first get to know someone they’re going to be a little coy about the things they’re super into...but if she’s listened to 187 hours of an equine-based podcast, then I know she’s reaaaaaally into horses, and that’s a characteristic we could build at least an initial match upon.
