Podcast Sponsor Finder

Podcast Sponsor Finder listens to podcast episodes and reports the advertising heard in them. Name a show and it downloads the newest episodes (3 by default, up to 5), listens to each in full with Google's Gemini model, checks every possible ad a second time, and returns for each ad the brand, the kind of ad, the minute it starts and the words spoken, plus how many of the episodes each brand was heard in.

Tools:

• find_sponsors lists the advertisers heard in a show's newest episodes, or in one episode by link. Long requests return a job ID.
• check_ad_read says whether one brand's ad was heard in one episode, with the ad's words and minute.
• find_show looks a podcast up by name and lists its newest episodes with links.
• check_job returns the result of a request that is still listening.
• my_usage and whoami show the signed-in account, its plan and the episodes used.

All tools are read-only. It works with podcasts that have a public feed; no YouTube, no uploads.

Limits: it hears the copy of each episode that its server downloads, in the United States. Many podcasts insert ads at download time, and those differ by listener, place and day, so another listener may hear other ads. It has no database of every show a brand sponsors, and no ad spend or audience numbers. It is a model's hearing: a brand can be misheard or an ad missed. A result is not proof that an ad did or didn't run.

The connector reports ads as facts. It shows no ads and is not paid by, or affiliated with, any show or brand it names.

An account is created the first time you sign in (email and password, or Google). The free plan includes 3 episodes a month. A Pro plan with 100 episodes a month is described at podcastsponsorfinder.com/pricing.

Your lookups are kept for 30 days. The ads heard in a public episode are cached for 90 days and aren't tied to you. Episode audio is deleted when the job ends. The connector never reads your conversations, memory or files.
