What you get
Search what was said, not what was titled
Every transcript is searchable down to the sentence. Find the episode where a guest made a specific claim, then land on that exact moment in the audio.
Try a search →A written briefing of every new episode
Follow a show and we email you a summary within an hour of each new episode: the topics, who appeared, the claims made — with the ad reads skipped. Three shows free.
Find your shows →Follow people, not just shows
We identify hosts and guests in every episode. Follow someone once and get a weekly digest of everywhere they turned up — on your own day and time.
Browse people →An alert the moment a word is spoken
Set a keyword — a name, a company, a topic — and we watch every transcript we produce. Daily digest on the free plan; instant email on Listener.

Questions people ask
- Is it really free?
- Yes. Search, browse, follow, and up to three shows with emailed summaries and three keyword alerts cost nothing. Listener, at $7 a month or $60 a year, removes the caps and makes alerts instant.
- How fast do new episodes show up?
- We transcribe around the clock. Most episodes from followed shows are transcribed and summarised within a few hours of publishing.
- Which podcasts do you cover?
- We index the public podcast catalogue — millions of shows — and transcribe the ones people follow, search for, and that are actively publishing. If a show you follow has not been transcribed yet, following it moves it up the queue.
- Can I stop the emails?
- Every email we send has a link to your notification settings, where each kind — summaries, digest, alerts — has its own switch.
