Radar makes podcasts searchable — and usable by AI agents
Particle is turning podcast transcripts into an API layer for search products, data buyers, and AI agents.
Radar transcribes more than 130,000 podcasts and adds about 20,000 episodes a day, with speaker labels, metadata, entity tracking, and alerts. TechCrunch says hedge funds are already high-volume API customers, alongside AI search platforms and data resellers. The product can surface quotes, clips with timestamps, ad mentions, rankings data, audience estimates, sponsorship data, and brand-suitability signals. Radar is available as a web product, but Particle is positioning the API and MCP as the core business.
