The engine behind PodBase
Make any podcast archive
answerable.
podQuery analyses podcasts once — transcripts, speaker attribution, entities, summaries, fact-checks — and powers PodBase, the free Podcast Research Lab. Subscribe to get the full analysis of your own show, plus API and MCP access.
PodBase + podQuery
One engine. Two faces.
PodBase is the free, public research face of the data podQuery computes. podQuery is the engine you subscribe to for the full analysis of your own show.
Subscription
podQuery — the engine you subscribe to
Full analysis of your show, every episode, automatically — and the data to build on.
- Transcripts, speaker attribution, entities, summaries, fact-checks
- Your show gets the podQuery Analysis tier on PodBase
- API & MCP access: Custom GPT, MCP server for Claude and Copilot
- Monthly ingestion quota included — top up when you need more
Compute once: an episode is never analysed twice — producers, researchers and sponsors all benefit from the same result. Full export, anytime — no lock-in.

Search the dashboard, hit the GraphQL API, or wire an MCP-aware AI client straight to your archive.
Knowledge Base
Filter. Search. Discover Patterns.
Turn your podcasts into a fully searchable knowledge base. Explore rich speaker analytics across every episode and your entire feed:

- Statements vs. questions ratio
- Words per minute — and much more
Everything your podcast needs
From raw audio to searchable knowledge — fully automated.
SEO & AI Discovery
Every published episode gets a structured, crawlable HTML page. Your content gets found on Google today — and cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude tomorrow.
AI enrichment
Every episode gets a summary, topic list, and a cleaned transcript — all produced by modern AI models tuned for spoken audio.
MCP knowledge base
Query your transcripts from Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP-compatible client. Speaker-aware semantic search built in.
Speaking analytics
Track WPM, filler words, sentence length, questions vs. statements — per episode and across your whole feed.
Transcripts & Accessibility
Complete transcripts for every episode
Every episode gets a full, timestamped transcript you can link to, publish on Spotify, or embed anywhere. Make your content accessible to the hearing-impaired community — automatically, with no extra effort.
AI Integration
Ask your podcast anything
Create a custom GPT with direct access to your podcast database. Ask "What was yesterday's episode about?", request fact-checks with sources, or get topic suggestions based on your entire feed. Not tied to ChatGPT — connect Claude, Copilot, or any AI you prefer via our MCP server.
- Custom GPT with podcast database access
- MCP server — works with Claude, Copilot & more
- Summaries, fact-checks, topic suggestions
SEO & AI Discovery
Your podcast, found forever — on Google and in AI answers
Expert conversations and market insights disappear into RSS feeds after the first week. podQuery gives every episode a dedicated, server-rendered page that search engines index and AI systems cite — turning your archive into a permanent source of organic traffic and AI visibility.
- Pure HTML — no JavaScript, fully crawlable by Google, Bing, and AI bots
- Schema markup, Open Graph tags, and XML sitemap included
- Internal links between episodes build authority and link juice
- One-click sharing — every page is instantly shareable
Save 2h per episode
No manual show notes. Summaries, topics, and transcripts are generated automatically the moment a new episode drops.
Find any quote in seconds
Search across your entire archive — by speaker, topic, or keyword. No more scrubbing through audio to find that one line.
Automatically accessible
Full timestamped transcripts published for every episode. Make your content available to the hearing-impaired community with zero extra effort.
AI Polish
Transcripts that read like writing
Raw transcripts capture what was said — not how it reads. podQuery's AI can reword sentences, add formatting, and fix transcription errors, making the text clean and pleasant to read. Your original is always preserved.
Compute once
Analysed once. Useful to everyone.
An episode is never computed twice. The analysis your subscription pays for also powers the free Research Lab — and every sponsored show enriches the same shared index. No duplicate processing, no duplicate cost.
