Podcast transcript management for AI agents. Subscribe, fetch, transcribe via whisper, read.
Podreader manages podcast subscriptions and transcripts for AI agents. Subscribe to feeds, fetch episodes, get transcripts from the web or via whisper, read them to stdout.
Two transcript paths: web extractors (per-feed Python plugins that know where transcripts live on each podcast’s site) and whisper fallback (download audio, run OpenAI whisper as subprocess, save the text). Built-in extractors for NPR and Democracy Now.
Episode pipeline: unprocessed → transcript-fetched → processed, with skipped and failed terminal states. Atomic state writes, incremental persistence, agent-friendly ambiguity resolution.
49 tests. TDD for core modules (state, config, matching, transcript fallback chain), manual testing for CLI and extractors.
