Podcasts are becoming so popular, there's a show going national that helps listeners find new podcasts. Starting October 6, NPR will begin distribution of WAMU-FM's The Big Listen. Hosted by Lauren Ober (pictured), The Big Listen introduces listeners to new podcasts they might have never heard of.

It’s available on PodcastOne and called How I Got Here, and hosted by two recently-graduated college roommates, Tim Barnicle and Harry Hill, who started wondering how to “make it” in the world, then decided to ask those who have “made it” to share their inspiring stories.

PodcastOne is entering the virtual reality space with a new platform called PodcastOne 360, by partnering with Mandt VR. The Adam Carolla Show will be the first podcast available to listeners on PodcastOne 360.

Two of NPR’s most popular podcasts -- Pop Culture Happy Hour and Embedded -- and the latest NPR Podcast -- How I Built This -- will appear at Midroll's "Now Hear This" podcast festival next month.

The new series features serialized daily episodes, with a new story beginning each Monday. This week the Podcast follows Team Ghost and their race against the clock to find the cure for a deadly strain of Ebola that turns men into monsters and threatens the survival of mankind.

The partnership provides for the creation of original, non-event audio content by the familiar, hometown radio voices associated with some of the nation’s most recognizable collegiate athletic programs.
