24 alternatives to I built RSS feeds for podcast guests, not podcasts

Hey, so I built a way to search podcast transcripts by speaker and hence also a way to follow people within them. Poddley let's you search quotes and filter by name and vice versa. You can find ev everything they've said across all their with timestamps and with a read-along UI. You can also RSS feeds for specific people instead subscribing to entire shows. I started this because I wanted to find podcasts where my favorite speakers talked about my favorite things (in my case that was certain longevity-research). However simply searching for stuff like "rapamycin", would yield quotes by 99%…

    Hi HN, wanted to share a project that I’ve been working on recently. PodText allows users to find anything said on a podcast. You can also listen and share clips to a specific part of the podcast audio, simply by highlighting the text of that part. Currently there are just over 25k podcast episodes and I’m adding a lot more in the coming weeks (yes my GPU bill is painful). In order to monetize it, I’m building a sponsorship database to help sponsors find podcasts and vice versa. This will be sold in the form of a $99/month “PodText Business” subscription. I bet I could charge a lot more…

    Howdy! RSSfeedASAP scratches my own itch. I run a regional podcasting directory which gets dozens of messy submission for podcasts. Often they don't even include an xml file and me being a good samaritan I sometimes do the manual work and find it myself. I got tired of that manual work and decided to build a microapp. RSSfeedASAP is this app and I decided to release it in case someone else finds any use in it.

    Hi all, a few weeks ago I found myself in a situation without anything interesting to listen to. Been through all podcast recommendations from friends and the usual recos from itunes, etc were not cutting it for me. So I build myself a podcast search engine. Based on the data from podcastindex.org and some other available infos. It doesnt (yet) have all available podcasts, only the ones I could find some rating/engagement infos on. But its still around 60k podcasts to discover :) One can search / filter / sort by category, rating, popularity, episodes, language, update date,…

    Hi everyone, I just launched Podsee(https://pods.ee) for podcast listeners, lovers. You can search and listen to podcasts at Podsee. What makes it different is that you can get the AI transcript for an episode. It started as a side project after I resigned my job one year ago. As a programmer, I love Elixir (http://elixir-lang.org/) and Phoenix LiveView(https://github.com/phoenixframework/phoenix_live_view), and want to make a product with it. So I build Podsee. I'm planning to add more AI features to it, like summarize the episode audio, episode…

    Hey HN, I follow a lot of podcasts and the episodes are often 2-3 hours long, so I made a web app that gives me a structured podcast summary with applicable habits and recommendations. My goal isn’t to discourage you from listening to the podcast, but rather to help you decide whether the episode is worthwhile and to provide notes. The endgame is to give you a personal feed of podcasts that you follow, maybe even deliver it to your inbox or via RSS. My tech stack is quite simple - React Router(v7), node.js and PostgreSQL with Redis. I'm using OpenAI API to generate the summary from the…

    Hey HN, I submitted PodcastSaver (https://podcastsaver.com) before but the reason it's interesting now is that I've started converting it into a live search engine test-bench. I've discussed it a bit here[0], and this idea has been kicking around in my head for a while so I got a chance to do some related writing about it with Supabase[1]. The basic idea is to use a modest piece of the podcast index[2] as a place to test out different new age search engines against each other. So far there are two engines running: - Postgres FTS + pg_trgm (tuned -- indices are there, I did some…

    Hi HN, A couple months ago, a friend mentioned that there are too many great podcasts to keep up with. We searched for a solution but didn't find one and realized that many other listeners likely face the same problem. So, I built PodSnap.AI, a service that keeps track of new podcast episodes and automatically sends AI-generated text and audio summaries to your inbox as soon as they are published. This way, users can quickly get the key insights and decide whether to watch the full episode. The service supports podcasts on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube. It's still beta, so I'd highly…
