About Podcast Sponsor Finder
Podcast Sponsor Finder is a connector for Claude. Name a podcast and it listens to the show's newest episodes and returns the brands that advertised in them: the brand, the kind of ad, the minute it starts and the words spoken. It can also check one episode for one brand's ad.
Who makes it
Wikivec Inc., a company incorporated in Delaware, United States. Support: support@wikivec.com.
How it listens
- It finds the show in Apple's podcast directory.
- It downloads the episode and cuts it into 5-minute pieces.
- Google's Gemini model listens to each piece and notes anything that sounds like an ad.
- Every candidate ad is checked a second time against the audio.
- Duplicates are merged, and the result goes back to Claude.
Results for a public episode are cached for 90 days, so an episode someone already asked about comes back quickly. 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. An ad the host reads can be inserted too, so the kind of ad doesn't show whether every listener hears it.
What it will not do
- It has no sponsor contact details and no ad spend data.
- It takes no file uploads and doesn't cover YouTube.
- It is not paid by any show or brand it names.
- It shows no ads.
