MetaPodcast
Your AI podcast companion. Discover, ask, listen
MetaPodcast is a free AI podcast app for iOS, Android, and web that turns 107,318+ transcribed episodes across 314 shows into something you can search, question, and follow.
LISTEN — Accelerated Episodes: 10, 20, or 30-minute cohesive versions of eligible episodes in the host's original voice (not TTS). Audio Briefs: a concise spoken brief of a multi-hour episode, generated on request. Read-along transcripts that scroll with the audio — tap any line to jump there. Smart Queue with offline downloads.
FIND — Search what was actually said inside one episode or across the whole catalog; every result carries the timestamp it came from. Timestamp citations on takeaways, quotes, and answers so you hear the source, not just the summary. Save timestamped moments with personal notes.
UNDERSTAND — Key takeaways, chapter outlines, notable quotes, and mentioned books for every analyzed episode. Ask AI across episodes and entire shows — answers are written from transcript passages with clickable timestamp citations.
EXPLORE — Follow any topic, guest, or company and get push or email alerts when they come up on another show. Topic Hubs and Entity Hubs track how different shows treat the same subject. The Podcast Bookshelf collects books recommended on podcasts, with the quote and timestamp.
Free on iOS, Android, and web. No subscription, no paywall — core features work without an account.

Hey Fazier, I'm Prasad, the maker of MetaPodcast. I built it because I kept wanting to look up a book someone mentioned in an episode, find every conversation about a topic across shows, and know when a new interview from people I follow came out — with a podcast player with AI features and read-along transcripts I could use for free. MetaPodcast is free on iOS, Android and the web, no subscription or paywall. What topic or person would you follow first?
