Panoply survey

We want you to tell us about the podcasts you enjoy and how often you listen to them. So we created a survey that takes just a couple of minutes to complete. If you fill it out, you’ll help Panoply make great podcasts about the things you love—and things you didn’t even know you loved. To fill out the survey, just go to panoply.fm/survey.
