Following social podcast platforms, this free service for podcast suggestions tells you which podcast to listen to based on your commute time. Based in Sweden, Pendelpoddar helps listeners be more discerning when it comes to which audio content to enjoy, specifically based on the length of their journey.
From construction and civil engineering company PEAB, Pendelpoddar also serves to emphasize how close Stockholm is to a new residential area called Nya Råsunda. To use, you simply input your destination, place of origin and mode of transport. The platform will generate a list of recommended podcast episodes that fit your time frame. Although Pendelpoddar is limited to Sweden, their method of making podcast suggestions could easily be adapted to other parts of the world.
