podcastindexrobot.com — Podcast Robot, part of Podcast Index

What it says it is: "Podcast Robot is a plug-in for AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT or your own agent. Once connected, your assistant can see every podcast in the world through Podcast Index… plus the live signals that say when something new drops or a show goes live. No account, no key, nothing to install. Your podcast app stays your podcast app: Podcast Robot hands you links that open right in it."

The asks it handles: "What's new in my shows?" · "Find the part where they talk about X" (transcript search, link to the moment) · "Who was that guest? Where else is she?" (podcast:person) · "Surprise me" / what other podcasters recommend (podroll) · "What's made in Austin?" (18,000 shows carry location) · "How do I support this show?" (funding / Value4Value).

Let it keep watch: "Tell me when [show] goes live" · "Watch for any episode where [person] is a guest" — it tells the assistant to check only what changed, so one check costs one or two calls. The page is honest: hosted assistants schedule hourly at best (ChatGPT, Claude Routines, Dots); a true every-15-minutes needs your own agent, such as Muse.

For podcasters: "grade my feed" — Podcast Robot "tells you which Podcasting 2.0 tags you are missing and what each one would let assistants do for your listeners." That is an answer to Sam's marketing thread in section 01: not a version number, a reason — every tag is now something an assistant can do.

Its links out use podcast-platform-links (GitHub)

csb's prediction this morning: "AC today on Podcasting 2.0 will say: Podcast player app developers, please abandon your apps because future of Podcasting are: Always-On AI Agents." The page says the opposite: your podcast app stays your podcast app.

Megyn Kelly discusses breaking news in the “Cornell 7” case as New York governor Kathy Hochul appoints Letitia James a special prosecutor. She's joined by Sean Davis, CEO and Co-Founder of The Federalist, and Sohrab Ahmari, US editor of UnHerd, to discuss the lies from Hochul and James about Jane Doe and the young men, what the Cornell “Jane Doe” said in her own words, how “Call Her Daddy” and its fake female empowerment helped lead to the outrageous “Cornell 7” situation today, and more. Then Sean continues to talk how we’re failing our young men and women as a society, Alex Cooper’s disgusting brand, JD Vance’s important comments about young white men, how the “Cornell 7” injustice might affect the 2026 midterms, the crucial moment in the Texas Senate race between James Talarico and Ken Paxton, whether Talarico can actually win in the state, Michelle Obama’s ridiculous new comments with Sharon Stone about men and pregnancy, the absurd spin on men and women, and more.
