Listen Notes is a podcast search engine and database founded in San Francisco in 2017 by Wenbin Fang, operating much like Google but for podcasts. It indexes millions of publicly available podcasts and episodes, allowing users to search by topic, person, or place, save episodes to ‘Listen Later’ playlists, create audio clips, and monitor podcast mentions via Listen Alerts. The platform uses 24\/7 automated scripts combined with human moderation to maintain a high-quality database of genuine, human-crafted podcasts rather than AI-generated content.<\/p>\n
Beyond the consumer-facing website, Listen Notes offers a developer-grade Podcast API (PodcastAPI.com) trusted by over 12,000 companies and developers, enabling them to build podcast apps, clipping tools, social platforms, and market intelligence products. It also provides bulk Podcast Datasets in CSV or SQLite format for researchers, AI training, and enterprise data needs. A Premium Membership unlocks advanced ‘Super Search’ filters, Listen Alerts for brand monitoring, and access to a podcast contacts database.<\/p>\n
Reviewers highlight Listen Notes as a powerful tool for podcast discovery, PR and marketing research, journalist sourcing, and developer integrations. Its flexible billing options \u2014 including a low-commitment 2-day access pass \u2014 make it accessible for occasional professional use without long-term subscription commitments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
