Sammanfattning

Podcasting 2.0 October 2nd 2026 Episode 273 - "Advertising is The Horse and Buggies of Podcasting" One topic only today - Big changes coming to podcast discovery! 05 - 🤖 PODCAST ROBOT — ADAM'S MCP SERVER FOR THE INDEX Discovery New Tag adoption podroll trailer peson location etc AEO - Ask Engine Optimization AI Assistants - Robots - Muse podcastindexrobot.com — Podcast Robot, part of Podcast Index <b>What it says it is:</b> "Podcast Robot is a plug-in for AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT or your own agent. Once connected, your assistant can <b>see every podcast in the world through Podcast Index</b>… plus the live signals that say when something new drops or a show goes live. <b>No account, no key, nothing to install.</b> Your podcast app stays your podcast app: Podcast Robot hands you links that open right in it." <b>The asks it handles:</b> "What's new in my shows?" · "Find the part where they talk about X" (transcript search, link to the moment) · "Who was that guest? Where else is she?" (podcast:person) · "Surprise me" / what other podcasters recommend (podroll) · "What's made in Austin?" (<b>18,000 shows carry location</b>) · "How do I support this show?" (funding / Value4Value). <b>Let it keep watch:</b> "Tell me when [show] goes live" · "Watch for any episode where [person] is a guest" — it tells the assistant to check only what changed, so one check costs one or two calls. The page is honest: hosted assistants schedule hourly at best (ChatGPT, Claude Routines, <b>Dots</b>); a true every-15-minutes needs your own agent, <b>such as Muse</b>. <b>💡 For podcasters: "grade my feed"</b> — Podcast Robot "tells you which Podcasting 2.0 tags you are missing and <b>what each one would let assistants do for your listeners</b>." <b>That is an answer to Sam's marketing thread in section 01:</b> not a version number, a reason — every tag is now something an assistant can do. Its links out use podcast-platform-links (GitHub) csb's prediction this morning: "AC today on Podcasting 2.0 will say: Podcast player app developers, please abandon your apps because future of Podcasting are: <b>Always-On AI Agents</b>." The page says the opposite: <b>your podcast app stays your podcast app.</b> Last Modified 10/02/2026 14:17:57 by Freedom Controller
