Interesting take. I also suffer from FOMO about podcasts and tv series. Especially with long-running podcasts, I never even start listening to any of them as I would need to start from episode 1. In the case of Joe Rogan, that's virtually impossible. Steamship seems like a handy framework for some prototyping. Are there any similar tools that can do similar things?

I know. And it seems like every influencer out there is starting their own podcast these days. Information overload. Tv series is a good idea! What insights would you extract from them? I can already see myself analysing the mood in shark tank pitches. I wonder if you can create a model to analyze all pitches on shark tank and then come up with its own. That would be cool!

[Disclosure: I'm a Steamshipper] The similar thing this project has got me really wanting is the ability to find snippets of a topic across all the podcast archives I like. Sort of the podcast equivalent of falling into a Wikipedia hole and learning all about a topic from different angles. Re: other tools -- We're a developer platform, so we're offering tooling from that angle: packages you can drop into a platform and just start using. (In this case, audio search). What's nice about the way it works is you can swap out components: use any transcription engine, any set of models, etc -- and then query across the results. Some of the transcription-specific API companies (like Assembly) are starting to build in search capabilities, which will also be useful depending on workload and whether you want to add your models or endpoints to the mix.

There is no reason to start at episode 1. His show is not a story nor does it build much on the past. Just search through the backlog for guests you are interested in. For example I skip most episodes with comedians, entertainers etc and mostly listen to creators, doers and experts in a field, as I find those the most interesting.
