PodcastGPT: AI-powered podcast research and analysis

PodcastGPT is the fastest way to research, compare, and analyze podcasts in 2026. Built on the CastFox database of 5 million podcasts, it lets you replace hours of manual research with natural-language queries. Ask anything in plain English and get ranked, data-rich answers in seconds.

What you can do with PodcastGPT

Search 5M+ podcasts with natural language

Ask PodcastGPT anything in plain English. "Find me 100 SaaS podcasts that interview founders and have 10K+ monthly listeners." No filters to learn, no advanced query syntax. The AI translates your description into a structured search across the full CastFox database in seconds.

Compare any two or more podcasts side-by-side

Drop in two podcast names and PodcastGPT pulls listener-range estimates, chart positions across 100+ countries, audience demographic skew, host social reach, episode cadence, and recent guest patterns. The same comparison would take a media buyer two hours of manual research.

Generate ranked podcast lists in 30 seconds

Describe an ideal target audience and PodcastGPT returns a ranked list of 50-200 podcasts with cover art, audience size, host name, and direct links to each show. Used by advertisers to build media plans, by guests to build pitching lists, and by researchers to surface niche shows.

Audience demographics and listener behavior

Every podcast on CastFox has a Top Audience chip showing the dominant demographic skew (Gen Z, Millennials, Boomers) and an estimated listener-range bucket. PodcastGPT surfaces these insights instantly so you can match buyer profiles to shows without trawling third-party tools.

Chart rankings across 100+ countries

Real-time Apple Podcasts chart positions for every podcast in every country it appears in. Find the top business podcasts in the United States, the fastest-growing health podcasts in the UK, or shows trending in Brazil. All accessible through PodcastGPT prompts.

Verified host and producer contact data

4M+ verified email addresses for podcast hosts and producers, available through CastFox. PodcastGPT can return contact data alongside any podcast list it generates, so the gap between "I want to pitch this show" and "I have the host's email" is one query, not one week of research.

Frequently Asked Questions about PodcastGPT

What is PodcastGPT?

PodcastGPT is an AI-powered podcast research tool built on top of the CastFox database of 5M+ podcasts. It takes natural-language questions ("Find me 50 SaaS podcasts that interview founders") and returns ranked, data-rich answers in seconds. Used by advertisers, guests, marketers, and authors to replace hours of manual podcast research with conversational queries.

How is PodcastGPT different from ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is a general-purpose model trained on the open internet up to a fixed cutoff. PodcastGPT is grounded in real-time CastFox data: live Apple Podcasts chart rankings, listener-range estimates, audience demographics, host contact info, and episode metadata across 5M+ shows. When you ask PodcastGPT for the top 20 business podcasts in the UK, you get the actual ranked list with current data, not a guess based on training data.

How accurate is PodcastGPT?

Listener-range estimates are presented as buckets (1K-10K, 10K-50K, 50K-100K, 100K-250K, 250K+) rather than precise numbers, because no public model can produce single-podcast precision honestly. Chart positions are exact, refreshed daily from Apple Podcasts. Contact data is verified through our standard pipeline. For full methodology, see our Market Insights guide.

How much does PodcastGPT cost?

PodcastGPT is included in every CastFox plan, with usage limits scaling by tier. The Free plan includes 5 PodcastGPT queries per day. Pro at $49/month unlocks 50 queries per day. Agency at $149/month is unlimited. See our pricing page for the full breakdown.

Can PodcastGPT export results to my CRM or spreadsheet?

Yes. Pro and Agency plans support exporting podcast lists with verified host contacts to CSV, Google Sheets, or directly into HubSpot, Salesforce, and Notion. Each list can be saved, shared with teammates, and re-run on a schedule.

Does PodcastGPT work in languages other than English?

Yes. PodcastGPT covers podcasts in 30+ languages and 100+ countries. You can ask questions in English about Spanish-language podcasts, German business podcasts, or Japanese comedy charts, and the AI will pull the relevant data from CastFox.
