Better Podcast Episode Search: Find Episodes With Rephonic

Rephonic features a way to set up email alerts to monitor episodes for certain keyword mentions, but up until today there was no way to search episodes directly as you can for podcasts.

You could type your search query into Apple Podcasts — or one of the many podcast search engines that exist — and get pretty decent results. But the hits tend to be ordered in a seemingly random way and it's often difficult to dig through the noise to find a good match.

How to search podcast episodes

Rephonic fixes this with better podcast data. Not only can you find specific episodes using the search tool, we also bubble up the most interesting results bases on audience numbers, social reach and many other metrics.

The new podcast episode search gives you advanced filters and search operators that open up all kinds of new possibilities.

For example: show me the most recent episodes about "fintech" with more than 5000 listeners with an audience primarily located in the UK:
