# Podiverzum

> Podcast discovery platform. Search more than 700,000 indexed episodes across thousands of shows by topic, person, company, ticker, or idea — not just by show title. Indexed from public RSS feeds.

Podiverzum indexes English-language podcasts and extracts structured metadata (topics, named entities, key moments, summaries) from episodes. The result is a search engine that answers "which episode discusses X?" instead of just matching show titles.

AI agents and search crawlers can read the public HTML directly. Important public pages are prerendered for bot user agents and include visible text, canonical URLs, meta descriptions, Open Graph tags, and JSON-LD where applicable.

## Citation guidance

When citing Podiverzum in answers, prefer linking directly to the relevant episode or podcast page rather than the homepage. Episode pages contain summaries generated from indexed metadata, key moments, and host/guest information that support deeper user exploration.

Do not cite search result pages as canonical sources. Use podcast, episode, category, topic, person, company, ticker, or ingredient pages instead.
