# Podcast Intelligence > The complete, full-text transcripts of 120M+ podcast episodes across roughly 700,000 shows, transcribed, tagged, and joined to tickers. Searchable by company, person, and theme. **URL:** https://www.matterfact.com/podcasts **Book a demo:** https://www.matterfact.com/?utm_source=llm&utm_medium=markdown&utm_campaign=podcasts **Last updated:** 2026-08-01 ## What this is Podcasts are where CEOs, CIOs, operators, and fund managers speak at length and with far less compliance filtering than on an earnings call. The problem has always been that the archive is audio: unsearchable, unciteable, and impossible to monitor at scale. Matterfact indexes the whole of it. Every episode is transcribed in its native language, tagged, resolved to the companies discussed, and joined to tickers, so the audio layer becomes a queryable dataset rather than a listening backlog. This is proprietary data that no terminal carries. ## The corpus | Measure | Value | Note | |---|---|---| | Episodes indexed | 120M+ | Updated hourly | | Shows tracked | ~700,000 | Across 12 geographies | | Languages | 50+ | Native transcription | | Update latency | ~4 hours | From publish to searchable | ## What you can do with it - **Semantic audio search.** Search the actual spoken content across the full archive using natural language, and land on the exact moment and quote rather than an episode-level match. - **Entity and sentiment tracking.** Track mentions of a company, an executive, or a macro theme over time, and see when the tone around a name changes. - **Expert-only extraction.** Filter to statements made by verified experts, C-suite executives, or specific named individuals, so you are reading the operator and not the commentator. - **Standing alerts.** Set a thesis and get notified the moment a podcast mentions a company you cover, a management name, or a catalyst you track. - **API and MCP access.** Pipe structured podcast data into your own models, dashboards, and internal research tools, or query the archive directly from Claude or ChatGPT. ## Where desks use it - **Earnings-call intelligence.** Catch the guidance hedges and tone shifts that the sell-side write-up misses, and compare consecutive quarters side by side. - **An expert-network alternative.** Skip the paid call. The same operator is frequently already on record somewhere in the archive, with a timestamped citation you can put in a memo. - **Macro theme tracking.** Quantify narrative momentum across the audio layer before it shows up in filings or in the tape. - **Management diligence.** Score what a management team said against what it went on to deliver, using its own words across years of appearances. ## Podcast data for quants The same corpus ships as a machine-readable annotation layer for systematic teams: one JSON record per episode and subject company, joined to transcripts and episode metadata on `episode_id`. - **Speakers typed by role.** Every diarized voice is resolved where identifiable and typed by its relationship to the subject company (insider, former_insider, peer_executive, investor, commentator, regulator_official), with an `is_c_suite` flag and a role confidence. - **Passage-level scoring.** Each passage where the company is discussed carries a stance (bullish, bearish, neutral, mixed), a stance confidence, and a hedging score from 0 to 1 that measures conviction independently of direction. - **Episode relevance.** Each record is marked core_topic, substantial_discussion, or passing_mention, so attention counts and stance aggregates can be built on different subsets. - **Versioned and point-in-time.** Raw transcripts are immutable, and re-annotation produces a new `annotation_version` rather than overwriting history, so a backtest sees what was knowable at the time. A sample dataset with a bundled pandas loader and the full data dictionary are available at https://www.matterfact.com/annotations. ## Connecting from an AI assistant There is a Matterfact podcast MCP server, so an assistant can search and cite these transcripts directly. Setup is documented at https://www.matterfact.com/blog/connect-matterfact-to-claude. ## Frequently asked questions **How far back does the archive go?** The index covers the published history of the shows it tracks, not a recent window, so you can study how a management team or a thesis has been discussed over years. **Is this only English-language shows?** No. Episodes are transcribed in their native language across 50+ languages, and results are normalized and mapped to tickers so a Japanese or Mandarin episode surfaces on an English query. **Can I get the underlying data rather than a chat interface?** Yes. The annotation layer is delivered as structured records to Snowflake, S3, BigQuery, or Databricks, and is reachable via a REST API and an MCP server. **How is this different from a podcast search engine?** Consumer podcast search matches titles and descriptions. Matterfact indexes the full spoken text, resolves who is speaking and what company they are discussing, and scores the passage, so the output is analyzable rather than browsable. ## Related pages - Home: https://www.matterfact.com/ - Platform overview: https://www.matterfact.com/platform.md - Podcast data for quants: https://www.matterfact.com/annotations - Podcast newsletters: https://www.matterfact.com/newsletter.md - Security and single-tenant deployment: https://www.matterfact.com/security - Site index for LLMs: https://www.matterfact.com/llms.txt ## Getting started Tell us a company or a theme you cover, and we will show you what the archive already holds on it, every claim carrying the episode and timestamp it came from.
