ChatGPT for Podcast Episodes
Podcast episodes are digital audio files that can be accessed online, usually through streaming services or downloads. Podcast episodes are typically released on a regular schedule and often include a variety of topics, such as news, interviews, stories, or educational content.
Benefits of Analyzing Podcast Episodes
For researchers, marketers, and organizations, analyzing podcast episodes can provide invaluable insights into the topics, conversations, and trends that are important to their respective audiences. By analyzing podcast episodes, researchers can identify key topics, trends, and conversations that are relevant to their research objectives. Marketers can use the data to gain insights into their target audience, their preferences, and the conversations they are having with each other. Organizations can use this data to better understand the needs and concerns of their customers and to develop better products, services, and strategies.

How To Use Speak As ChatGPT For Podcast Episodes

Step 1: Create Your Speak Account
To start your transcription and analysis, you first need to create a Speak account. No worries, this is super easy to do!
Get a 7-day trial with 30 minutes of free English audio and video transcription included when you sign up for Speak.
To sign up for Speak and start using Speak Magic Prompts, visit the Speak app register page here.

Step 2: Upload Your Podcast Episodes
We typically recommend MP4s for video or MP3s for audio.
However, we accept a range of audio, video and text file types.
You can upload your file for transcription in several ways using Speak:
Accepted Audio File Types
- MP3
- M4A
- WAV
- OGG
- WEBM
- M4P
Accepted Video File Types
- MP4
- M4V
- WMV
- AVI
- MOV
- FLV
Accepted Text File Types
- TXT
- Word Doc
CSV Imports
You can also upload CSVs of text files or audio and video files. You can learn more about CSV uploads and download Speak-compatible CSVs here.
With the CSVs, you can upload anything from dozens of YouTube videos to thousands of Podcast Episodes.
Publicly Available URLs
You can also upload media to Speak through a publicly available URL.
As long as the file type extension is available at the end of the URL you will have no problem importing your recording for automatic transcription and analysis.
YouTube URLs
Speak is compatible with YouTube videos. All you have to do is copy the URL of the YouTube video (for example, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKfcLcHeivc).
Speak will automatically find the file, calculate the length, and import the video.
If using YouTube videos, please make sure you use the full link and not the shortened YouTube snippet. Additionally, make sure you remove the channel name from the URL.
Speak Integrations
As mentioned, Speak also contains a range of integrations for Zoom, Zapier, Vimeo and more that will help you automatically transcribe your media.
This library of integrations continues to grow! Have a request? Feel encouraged to send us a message.

Step 3: Calculate and Pay the Total Automatically
Once you have your file(s) ready and load it into Speak, it will automatically calculate the total cost (you get 30 minutes of audio and video free in the 7-day trial – take advantage of it!).
If you are uploading text data into Speak, you do not currently have to pay any cost. Only the Speak Magic Prompts analysis would create a fee which will be detailed below.
Once you go over your 30 minutes or need to use Speak Magic Prompts, you can pay by subscribing to a personalized plan using our real-time calculator.
You can also add a balance or pay for uploads and analysis without a plan using your credit card.

Step 4: Wait for Speak to Analyze Your Podcast Episodes
If you are uploading audio and video, our automated transcription software will prepare your transcript quickly. Once completed, you will get an email notification that your transcript is complete. That email will contain a link back to the file so you can access the interactive media player with the transcript, analysis, and export formats ready for you.
If you are importing CSVs or uploading text files Speak will generally analyze the information much more quickly.

Step 5: Visit Your File Or Folder
Speak is capable of analyzing both individual files and entire folders of data.
When you are viewing any individual file in Speak, all you have to do is click on the “Prompts” button.

If you want to analyze many files, all you have to do is add the files you want to analyze into a folder within Speak.
You can do that by adding new files into Speak or you can organize your current files into your desired folder with the software’s easy editing functionality.

Step 6: Select Speak Magic Prompts To Analyze Your Data
What Are Magic Prompts?
Speak Magic Prompts leverage innovation in artificial intelligence models often referred to as “generative AI”.
These models have analyzed huge amounts of data from across the internet to gain an understanding of language.
With that understanding, these “large language models” are capable of performing mind-bending tasks!
With Speak Magic Prompts, you can now perform those tasks on the audio, video and text data in your Speak account.

Step 7: Select Your Assistant Type
To help you get better results from Speak Magic Prompts, Speak has introduced “Assistant Type”.
These assistant types pre-set and provide context to the prompt engine for more concise, meaningful outputs based on your needs.
To begin, we have included:
- General
- Researcher
- Marketer
Choose the most relevant assistant type from the dropdown.

Step 8: Create Or Select Your Desired Prompt
Here are some examples prompts that you can apply to any file right now:
- Create a SWOT Analysis
- Give me the top action items
- Create a bullet point list summary
- Tell me the key issues that were left unresolved
- Tell me what questions were asked
- Create Your Own Custom Prompts
A modal will pop up so you can use the suggested prompts we shared above to instantly and magically get your answers.
If you have your own prompts you want to create, select “Custom Prompt” from the dropdown and another text box will open where you can ask anything you want of your data!

Step 9: Review & Share Responses
Speak will generate a concise response for you in a text box below the prompt selection dropdown.
In this example, we ask to analyze all the Podcast Episodes in the folder at once for the top product dissatisfiers.
You can easily copy that response for your presentations, content, emails, team members and more!

Podcast Analytics and AI Analysis: What Speak AI Adds in 2026
Podcast analytics platforms measure downloads, listener retention, and audience demographics. AI analysis tools go a step further: they transcribe episodes and extract what was actually said — topics covered, sentiment, guest talking points, and keyword patterns across your entire library. These are different capabilities, and the best podcast workflows use both.
What podcast analytics tools measure
- Download counts and unique listeners per episode
- Listener retention curves (where people drop off)
- Audience geography, device type, and platform breakdown
- Episode-over-episode growth trends
What AI analysis adds on top
- Full episode transcripts — timestamped, speaker-labeled, searchable
- Topic and theme extraction — identify what subjects get covered and how often
- Guest and keyword tracking — find every episode where a topic or name appears
- AI summaries — generate show notes, chapter markers, and social clips automatically
- Cross-episode analysis — query across your entire archive to find patterns
How Speak AI works for podcasts
Upload your episode audio to Speak AI and get a full transcript with speaker identification, an AI-generated summary, and theme extraction. You can bring the transcripts into ChatGPT or Claude for deeper Q&A — “What did my guests say about AI in 2025 across all 40 episodes?” Use transcripts to create show notes, newsletters, and SEO-optimized episode pages faster.
Transcribe your podcast and analyze what was said — free to start.
Works with ChatGPT and Claude. See pricing.
