- What is Podknife?
  
  Podknife is a curated podcast information and review site designed to be accessible in your browser from any device. We’re working to build the most useful podcast information source available by providing you with as much publicly available information about each podcast in our database as we can find and keeping it as up to date as possible.

Clicking that brings you to a new page where you can select a rating between 1 and 5 stars and write a brief review of the episode.

  On each podcast page you’ll find the outline of a star above the podcast title.
