What This Actor Does
Podscan.fm is a 2024-launched service that indexes podcasts across all major platforms (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and 50+ others) and enriches them with contact info and analytics. This actor crawls the 4,500+ podcasts in Podscan's sitemap and extracts structured metadata for each.
Use cases:
- B2B podcast outreach lists (contact emails + host names)
- Podcast market research and competitive analysis
- Influencer discovery by category, language, and episode count
- Cross-platform podcast ID matching (Apple ↔ Spotify ↔ website)
