This is a knee-jerk reaction so take it for what you will, but I thought I had landed on the iTunes podcast page. And while I know it wasn't actually that page, it was hard for me to "trust" these recommendations as being any different than what I see when I load iTunes.
On the website your slogan employs poor word choice:
Discover and listen to amazing podcasts that's worth your time
Should be “that are worth your time.”
Just like you have it in your show hn headline. Sorry to nitpick!

Thank you for this. Will make necessary amends.
Nothing happens when I press enter in the search box. (Firefox 67.0.2)
Edit: It turns out I just type faster than your popout script can execute. Nothing comes up for most things I type in. Even podcasts I actually listen to and enjoy.

Thanks, @CondensedBrain. You can suggest some of your favorite podcasts and it will be added as soon as possible.
How about an OPML import? Doing them one by one will get old fast.
That would be great too
This happens to me in Safari (12.1.1 (14607.2.6.1.1))/ macOS (10.14.5) as well.
I don't see the criteria for what makes the choices 'worth my time'. And, after taking a minute to scan the choices (and limited categories) available on the page, I see little evidence of what those criteria might be.
Many many offerings are vying for my attention. Picking one at random, subscribing, downloading, listening for a half-hour (in some cases 20 seconds) is very inefficient. The solution might be a qualified curation process that I understand!
E.g. any podcast that regularly begins with an ad had better be worth skipping past that part.

Thanks for sharing your ideas. Will definitely make improvements on the points mentioned.
