One subject, every name
One show says "steel tariffs", another "US tariffs": both are Tariffs. Find a topic by any of the names it's discussed under:
- The names it goes by, most used first.
- Its episodes over time, beside every episode we read, so a busy week stands out.
- The shows covering it most over the last week, month or three months.
- Its latest episodes, with the name each one gave it.

Search by the start of any word in any of a topic's related names.
What each episode is about
Subjects discussed in every episode, in the words the episode used, each linked to the topic it belongs to.
A company as a subject
When a company sponsors podcasts, its topic and its sponsor page link to each other: the episodes about it beside the ones it sponsors. More on sponsors.
Who covers it most
The shows with the most episodes on a topic over the last week, month or three months, and when each last discussed it.
Its share, not just its count
Each week's episodes are set beside every episode we read that week, so a subject gaining ground isn't confused with a busy week.
In your own tools
Finding a topic, its episodes and trend, an episode's topics and the topics rising are in the API, described in the reference's topics section, and in your AI assistant over MCP.
