I want an IMDB of podcasts.

More specifically, I want to:

1. Enter (or click on) a person’s name, and see every associated podcast episode,

2. For any podcast, and podcast episode, see every associated person, including their role (host, guest, producer),

3. Search a speech-to-text corpus of the conversations,

4. List of sponsors for every episode.

Hey, I have plans for some of those, but you might also be interested in podchaser.com, their tag line is the IMBD of podcasts so check them out as well.

Oh I hadn’t seen podchaser. Thanks.

Unfortunately, the value is in the execution. I don’t want to bash podchaser, which is clearly labeled as being in beta, but:

1. I don’t like its emphasis on the user community — interacting with other podcast listeners feels like a dud

2. Its search results are poor, IMHO.

I hope you make good progress!!
