What people ask us
Every answer here is true today. If yours isn’t here, write to us.
What is PodData?
Leadership intelligence for comms, policy and investment teams. We track what leaders say on podcasts and in long interviews, between the official statements, and give you their exact words, who said them, the show, the date and the second.
What can I use today?
PodData is in pilot. We follow 85 shows and hold about 4,300 quotes from them, each checked word for word against the transcript, as of Nov 13, 2026. Trackers, the API, webhooks, Slack delivery, the MCP endpoint and team workspaces are in pilot, by request. Nobody can sign up on their own yet.
How does the pilot work?
Ask with the form: tell us who you need to hear and what about. We read every request and reply by email.
Request pilot accessWhat will it cost?
Free; the Data API at $499 a month or $4,999 a year; and Enterprise by annual contract, as of Nov 13, 2026. Nothing can be bought yet.
What’s in each planWhich shows do you follow?
85 as of Nov 13, 2026: mostly long interviews and podcasts with the people building AI, plus markets, news, sports and science. The coverage page lists every one by name.
See every showWhere does the audio come from?
Every quote’s audio comes from its show’s own podcast feed. We don’t take audio from YouTube. 2 shows we follow, Product Growth and Conversations with Tyler, have no feed we read yet, so we hold no quotes from them. Every quote links to the show’s own recording at its second.
Do you transcribe every episode?
Not yet. Transcribing every new episode of the shows we follow, with each speaker named or marked unconfirmed, is in pilot.
How do you know who is speaking?
We name a speaker only when the show’s own transcript names them, or when two different kinds of evidence agree and none disagree. Otherwise the quote says “Speaker unconfirmed”, and trackers hold it back unless you ask for those too.
How we name speakersDo you identify people by their voice?
No. We name people from what is said and written about an episode. Nothing about a voice is kept once an episode is processed, and we never match a voice from one episode to another.
Do you publish transcripts?
No. We show quotes, each with its speaker and the second it starts, and link to the show’s own recording. Nothing we show runs more than 80 words in a row from an episode.
Who is it for?
Comms and PR teams, government and public affairs teams, and investors, plus newsrooms and AI and data teams. Each has its own page, with trackers they might write and the real quotes those would have caught.
For comms and PR teamsHow do I ask for something to be removed?

Rights and takedownsDoes poddata.ai use cookies?
No. It sets no cookies, keeps nothing in your browser, and runs no ad trackers and no Google Analytics. We count visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which sets no cookies either.
