We view the library of podcast shows as a graph with shows as nodes and edges representing a shared topic between two shows. By coupling a user's history (dark green nodes) with their current position (light green node) we can provide them with recommendations that incorporates a sense of the user's trajectory in the graph of podcasts. Podcast recommendation is a growing area of research that presents new challenges and opportunities. Individuals interact with podcasts in a way that is distinct from most other media; and primary to our concerns is distinct from music consumption. We show that successful and consistent recommendations can be made by viewing users as moving through the podcast library sequentially. Recommendations for future podcasts are then made using the trajectory taken from their sequential behavior. Our experiments provide evidence that user behavior is confined to local trends, and that listening patterns tend to be found over short sequences of similar types of shows. Ultimately, our approach gives a 450% increase in effectiveness over a collaborative filtering baseline. CCS Concepts: • Information systems → Probabilistic retrieval models; • Computing methodologies → Learning to rank.
