  I love your app and I use it daily to listen to my favorite podcasts. Simple and highly ergonomic ux/ui.

  But sometimes I have some difficulties finding podcast episodes. This happened a couple of times already, and the last one I remember was with Freakonomics Podcast. They referenced a previous podcast episode by its title but I could not find it. I found all the episodes of that three part series, all the episodes referencing this particular episode but not the original episode I was trying to find.

  I searched for “Freakonomics Curious Feynman” but the results didn’t show it – the original title is “Curious Mr. Feynman”.

  I eventually found (and played) the episode by going the list of all episodes of that show and selecting this one to play.

  So, the episode existed, it was indexed and available on PocketCasts but somehow it was not searchable.

  thanks again,

  Hi @pauloheleno440a90fe52

  Our current search doesn’t look at episodes, just the podcast title. However, we hear you. Our search can definitely be improved. We’ve had similar requests from other users before.

  I’ve gone ahead and added a vote for it on your behalf in our list of feature requests.

  Let me know if you have further questions!
