The web is searchable. Podcasts should be too. Today, Particle is introducing Radar, the podcast search engine. Podcasts hold some of the most thoughtful and timely conversations happening right now, but that knowledge is hard to find. Radar searches 130,000+ actively transcribed podcasts, with ~20,000 new episodes daily. Millions of hours and billions of lines, fully searchable. Radar is powered by Particle’s Podcast Intelligence API, which allows agents to search across podcasts via API/MCP.
I like that this goes beyond simply finding podcasts. Making all those conversations searchable could make podcast research much less time consuming.
