Introducing PodHood: turn your podcast into a knowledge graph

We started PodHood because of a gap that kept bothering us: podcasting has never been more popular, and podcast content has never been harder to find. A great episode disappears the moment it's published — unsearchable, uncrawlable, uncitable. The work is invisible to the exact systems that now decide what gets discovered.

So we built the thing that fixes it. Here's what it does.

Connect once

Point PodHood at your YouTube channel or your podcast feed. That's the only setup. We treat that source as your single source of truth and mirror your whole catalog — every episode you've published, and every one you publish next.

Every episode becomes a Brief

Indexing decomposes each episode into a structured record we call a Brief:

• A grounded summary of what the episode covered.
• Chapters that segment the conversation.
• Key moments — the citable claims and turns worth linking straight to.
• Speakers, diarized and attributed.
• Entities and topics, disambiguated into a graph.
• A word-level transcript, aligned to the audio so any phrase jumps to the exact second.

That structure is the whole point. It's the difference between a recording and something people and machines can actually use.

Found four ways

Once an episode is a Brief, it gets discovered on four fronts at once:

1. Searchable — your listeners find any moment by what was said, and jump straight to it.
2. Crawlable — every episode is a real, server-rendered page that search engines can read and rank. (Why that matters: Podcast SEO.)
3. Citable — the structure answer engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity quote as a source. (More: get cited by AI.)
4. Queryable — your whole archive connects to Claude and ChatGPT as a live tool over MCP, so agents can query it and answer with timestamped citations.

And it runs itself

Connect once, and every new upload indexes on its own. Your back catalog and your next episode go through the same pipeline. You keep creating; PodHood keeps making it findable.
