Your Library
The public, searchable home for your podcast — what your audience actually gets.
Your Library is the public site for your Channel at <slug>.podhood.com. It shows published (indexed) episodes only, needs no sign-in to read, and its display language follows your Channel's Podcast language setting.
The front page
Visitors get your full catalog with a filter rail — by topic, person, company, product, or year — plus search across every published episode and transcript. Search understands meaning, not just keywords: a question returns ranked episodes with real, timestamped quotes that deep-link to the exact second.
Two buttons matter to your audience:
- Subscribe — a signed-in visitor can follow the Channel and get an email when a new episode publishes. This is a PodHood-side follow; it has nothing to do with your YouTube subscriber count.
- Connect AI — opens install recipes that add your channel's MCP server to the visitor's own AI tool (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and two dozen others), so their agent can search and cite your show directly.
The episode page
Each indexed episode gets a page built from its Brief:
- Summary, chapters, and key moments — every one a deep link to the second.
- Speakers — who said what, separated automatically, with roles.
- Transcript — the full word-aligned record, synced to playback.
- Topics and mentions — the people, companies, and products discussed.
- Q&A — question/answer pairs pulled from the conversation, when the episode yields them.
- Related episodes — by shared topics.
A Translate menu serves the transcript in other languages, and everything is shareable by URL.
The knowledge graph, browsable
Topics, people, companies, and products aren't just tags — each gets its own hub page (/people/<person>, /topics/<topic>, …) aggregating every episode and moment it appears in. Over a back catalog this becomes the show's index: one URL for "every time we discussed X."
People, companies, and products are yours to curate in the Studio — rename, merge, archive, set avatars — and the topic tree can be regenerated wholesale when it drifts. See Studio & your team.
Built to be read by machines too
Every Library host serves its own llms.txt, sitemap.xml, and robots.txt; episode pages carry Schema.org JSON-LD; and every page has a Markdown twin (append .md). That's the Get found & cited story — the Library doubles as your show's machine-readable surface.
