Yet, there was something missing when Leah Culver tried to find her next episode to listen to, while training for her 1st marathon. And that thing was a more powerful way to discover the podcasts you love – through your subscriptions, activity, and most of all – through the power of social networking and suggestion. So she decided to fix it – and built Breaker, an app that helps you discover new podcasts and episodes based on the content you – and your friends – like most.
