Find podcasts by topic and get the host's published contact email plus website, category, episode count and whether the show is still active. Built for podcast sponsorship outreach, guest booking, and lead generation.

What it does

• Search Apple Podcasts by keyword/topic and return the matching shows.
• For each show, read its RSS feed and pull the host contact email (itunes:owner email, which podcasters publish for contact), host name, website, episode count and last publish date.
• Flags each podcast as active (published in the last 120 days) so you skip dead shows.
• Or run in feeds mode to enrich a list of RSS URLs you already have.

Output (one row per podcast)

{
"name":"StartUp Podcast",
"feedUrl":"https://feeds.example.com/startup",
"website":"https://startup.example.com",
"hostName":"Alex Blumberg",
"hostEmail":"hello@startup.example.com",
"category":"Business",
"episodeCount":142,
"lastPublish":"2026-05-20T10:00:00Z",
"active":true,
"appleUrl":"https://podcasts.apple.com/...",
"artworkUrl":"https://..."
}

Notes (honest)

• The host email comes from the itunes:owner tag the podcaster publishes in their own feed for contact. It is not guessed. Some feeds omit it; that field is then null.
• Uses the public iTunes Search API and public RSS feeds. No API key. Respects Apple's rate limits.
• Pair it with our Email Verifier & Finder actor to validate the host emails before outreach.
