01 - Track
Follow podcasts you trust
Start with our curated network or add your own feeds. We listen for new episodes and add them whenever they drop.

We monitor the podcasts you trust, capture book mentions the moment they drop, and push a clean signal back to you.

Mention data syncs to your MavenSignal dashboard.
Simple Flow
From episode drop to curated stack. Think of MavenSignal as your background researcher. These are the steps that happen every time a new episode lands.
Pipeline
Under the hood
Every mention is backed by context you can trust: timestamps, episode links, and metadata.

We Listen to the Experts
MavenSignal continuously monitors top podcasts across business, science, technology, and culture. Episodes are automatically transcribed using high-accuracy speech-to-text models.

We Detect Mentions of Books
Our natural-language engine scans those transcripts to identify when a host or guest references a book by title or author.
Each mention is validated to avoid duplicates and false positives — no hallucinated titles, just real works.

We Connect the Signals
Every mention becomes a “signal.” Each mention is saved with timestamp, and episode context we can verify.
We link each book to the podcasts and episodes that discussed it, and track how often, and how recently.
This turns raw conversation data into an evolving map of expert recommendations.
