Startup Idea: Audio alerts for podcast phrases

Problem: I have way too many podcasts in my library that I'd like to listen to but don't have the time. I'd love to use a tool that could ping me whenever a person, phrase or certain set of words is mentioned in the podcast world.

Solution: Picture email google alerts but for audio podcasts. You could sync it to name mentions, business models, brands etc. and this would validate if a small snippet of a podcast or an entire podcast is worth listening to.

Product Ideas: An example of this could be a chrome extension that syncs into your podcast library and delivers me a weekly report of podcasts that mentioned "FlyWheel Marketing Techniques" or "E-commerce Vancouver". Maybe I wanna invest more time into the crypto world and would like to be pinged with any podcasts mentioning XYZ coin or whenever Elon or Balajis speaks for 3 minutes about "crypto coins to look into".

Monetization:

  • I think it'd be simple to have a freemium model with 2 mentions / week
  • Then a paid model that could be tiered by 5, 10, 15 mentions or brands, CEO names
  • Likely an easy way to monetize a community forum around these paid users as they'd likely all be type A, hyper focused learners that are always looking for more content, books and resources to explore

Roast my idea: What do you think? Is this a need you have. Would this solve a problem? I'd love to hear your take in the comments or you can tweet me in the link below.
