dopepod - Podcast Player
A podcast player project that has evolved from a web application to a cross-platform mobile app, providing an easy way to discover and enjoy thousands of free podcasts.
Web Version (v1)
The original dopepod used Django with PostgreSQL for the backend, with jQuery powering the frontend. The iTunes API provided the podcast catalog, while custom scrapers enriched the podcast metadata.

The app is available on Google Play, with an iOS version in development.
