About Podcasts Québec, the directory of local podcasts
Podcasts Québec is the independent, free directory of podcasts produced in Quebec. The platform automatically lists Quebec podcasts and their new episodes from the official RSS feeds of local producers, sorts them by category and by producer, and highlights the most-listened content. The goal is twofold: to help audiences discover local voices, and to give production teams a lasting showcase, with no advertising and no fees. No episode is hosted on our servers; every listen links back to the original source.
Our mission
We believe podcasting is a powerful medium for Quebec culture. Every day, new voices pick up the microphone across Quebec, and it is becoming hard to keep track. Podcasts Québec solves this by bringing these shows together in one place.
In practical terms, the site lists podcasts, syncs their new episodes, sorts them by category and by producer, and highlights the most-listened content to make discovery easier. Whether you are looking for a news podcast, a regional documentary series or a local culture show, you can access it for free.

How the directory works
New episodes are synced every day from producers’ official RSS feeds. No audio file is hosted on our servers: the directory always links back to the original source, whether that is the listening platform or the producer’s website.
Each show has a page with its latest episodes, online listening and, where relevant, transcripts and articles. You can also browse the full catalogue from the Podcasts page.

How a podcast is selected
To appear in the directory, a podcast must meet three conditions:
- be produced or hosted by a person, organization or business based in Quebec;
- be publicly distributed through a standard RSS feed;
- follow basic rules, meaning no hateful, illegal or misleading content.
These criteria keep the directory true to its mission, namely to highlight podcasts produced in Quebec, and those alone.
