Poddley – Speaker-centric podcast quote search

Summary: Poddley is a search engine focused on finding podcast quotes by specific speakers across multiple shows. It indexes timestamped transcripts by guest, enabling users to follow guests, browse quotes, and access per-guest RSS feeds. Currently, it covers about 10 major podcasts as a proof of concept.

What it does

Poddley allows users to search podcast transcripts by person rather than by show, providing timestamped quotes and guest-specific RSS feeds. It organizes content around speakers to help locate exact quotes and appearances.

Who it's for

It is designed for users who want to find specific podcast quotes or track topics discussed by particular guests across different episodes and shows.

Why it matters

Poddley addresses the difficulty of locating quotes by speaker in podcast transcripts, which are typically indexed only by show and lack speaker labels.
