Best Podcast Promotion Subreddits in 2025
There are millions of podcasts now. Standing out is brutal. Reddit's podcast communities help you find listeners actually looking for new shows.
r/podcasts (3.9M members) is the main discovery hub - people asking for recommendations across all genres. If your show fits what someone's looking for, they'll actually listen. r/TrueCrimePodcasts (982K) is massive for crime shows. r/podcasting (165K) is for creators, not listeners. You'll learn about equipment, editing, distribution, monetization.
Reddit's podcast promotion works when you genuinely recommend episodes that add value to discussions. Dropping links randomly gets you banned. But if someone asks any good podcasts about X and your show covers X well? Share it. Build karma in communities first. Comment helpfully. Then your promotional posts get traction instead of downvotes. Quality over spam always wins on Reddit.
