# Podcast Data for Quants > Podcast transcripts and speech annotations for public-market tickers, one subject company per record. Speakers typed by their relationship to the company, passages scored for stance and hedging. **URL:** https://www.matterfact.com/annotations **Book a demo:** https://www.matterfact.com/?utm_source=llm&utm_medium=markdown&utm_campaign=annotations **Last updated:** 2026-08-01 ## What this is Who is talking about your ticker, and what are they saying. This is the machine-readable layer under Matterfact's podcast corpus, built for systematic and quantitative teams who want data rather than a chat interface. Every diarized speaker is resolved where identifiable and typed by their relationship to the subject company. Every passage where the company is discussed is scored for stance and hedging. Records join to transcripts and episode metadata on `episode_id`, so the annotations drop into an existing pipeline without a bespoke ingest. ## The record model One record per episode and subject company. An episode discussing four companies produces four records, each scored independently, so a signal built on one name is not contaminated by sentiment aimed at another. ### Speaker typing Every diarized voice carries: - A resolved identity where the speaker is identifiable - A role relative to the subject company: `insider`, `former_insider`, `peer_executive`, `investor`, `commentator`, or `regulator_official` - An `is_c_suite` flag - A role confidence, so you can threshold on identification quality The distinction matters because a sitting CFO and a podcast host making a passing remark are not the same observation, and collapsing them destroys the signal. ### Passage-level scoring Each passage where the subject company is discussed carries: - **Stance**: bullish, bearish, neutral, or mixed - **Stance confidence**: how clear the directional read is - **Hedging score**: 0 to 1, measuring conviction independently of direction Hedging is scored separately from stance on purpose. "We will beat this number" and "we would hope to be in that range" can both be bullish, and the difference between them is the part a model can trade on. ### Episode relevance Each record is marked `core_topic`, `substantial_discussion`, or `passing_mention`, so attention counts and stance aggregates can be built on whichever subset the strategy calls for. ### Point-in-time integrity Raw transcripts are immutable. Re-annotation produces a new `annotation_version` rather than overwriting history, so a backtest sees what was knowable on the date, not what the current model would say about it now. ## What is in the sample The page hosts two downloads, available after a short email form: 1. **The sample dataset**, a real slice of the corpus you can load in a notebook: transcripts, annotation records, and a bundled pandas loader. 2. **The data dictionary**, the field-by-field specification that defines every value, every enum, and every confidence scale in the records. ## Delivery The full dataset is delivered as structured records to Snowflake, S3, BigQuery, or Databricks, and is reachable via a REST API and an MCP server. Refresh cadence is set to your requirement. ## Frequently asked questions **How does this join to my existing data?** On `episode_id` for transcripts and episode metadata, and on ticker for the subject company. Both are stable keys. **Is the corpus point-in-time safe for backtesting?** Yes. Transcripts are immutable and annotations are versioned rather than overwritten, so you can reconstruct the state of the data as of any date. **How large is the underlying corpus?** The complete full-text transcripts of 120M+ podcast episodes across roughly 700,000 shows, in 50+ languages, with new episodes searchable roughly four hours after publication. **Are non-English episodes annotated too?** Yes. Episodes are transcribed in their native language and the annotations are normalized, so a Mandarin or Japanese episode produces the same record shape as an English one. **Can we get the raw transcripts as well as the annotations?** Yes. Transcripts and annotations are delivered together, and the annotations reference the exact passage they scored. ## Related pages - Home: https://www.matterfact.com/ - Podcast intelligence overview: https://www.matterfact.com/podcasts - Platform overview: https://www.matterfact.com/platform.md - Security and single-tenant deployment: https://www.matterfact.com/security - Site index for LLMs: https://www.matterfact.com/llms.txt ## Getting started Download the sample and the data dictionary from the page, or tell us the tickers you cover and we will run the annotations against them so you can evaluate the signal on your own names.
