Metapodcast

Metapodcast is an AI-powered podcast search and knowledge platform that transforms spoken podcast conversations into searchable, timestamp-indexed transcripts and insights. It indexes hundreds of top podcasts across categories such as technology, science, business, philosophy, and current affairs, applying speaker diarization, topic and entity graphing, and chapter segmentation to make episode content discoverable and citable.

The platform offers an AI Q&A feature built on Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), grounding answers in transcript excerpts with direct citations and deep links to supporting audio moments. It emphasizes editorial transparency by attributing commentary to named speakers and shows rather than presenting podcast discussion as objective fact, and applies a quality gate to ensure indexed answers are well-grounded and substantive.

Metapodcast serves podcast listeners, researchers, and content discovery users who want to search, browse, and extract insights from podcast episodes without listening to full audio. It provides native iOS and Android apps with offline listening, background playback, and native media controls, alongside a web dashboard for browsing trending categories, searching full episodes, and reading AI-generated transcripts. The platform also supports podcasters by linking citations and episode pages back to original show feeds and websites to drive discovery.
