Words that rhyme with Podcast
You can read podcast two ways: as a common-tongue word, or as a two-syllable shape on a low-front /æ/ that tails through a fricative. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line. Its job in a lyric is a workaday word, holding down whatever line it lands in. Songwriters asking for rhymes for podcast run into the same map every time: there are essentially no strict perfect rhymes, no near-perfect family slants exist for this one, and the assonance pool is the one that won't run out. The contemporary ear forgives — and prefers — the assonance matches here.

Why podcast rhymes the way it does
In our engine, podcast registers as a two-syllable word on a low-front /æ/ (/æ/) that spills into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 69, assonance 10,245, and consonance 3. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Podcast rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
