How Do I Monitor Podcast Content in Agility?

Monitor podcast coverage alongside your online, print, broadcast, and social media results by including Podcasts as a media type in your monitoring Topics.

Podcast content is supplied through our partner TVEyes and is now monitored directly through your Topics. Simply include Podcasts as a media type when creating or editing a Topic to receive podcast coverage alongside your other media monitoring results.

Existing Podcast subscriptions are automatically paused as part of the transition to the full TVI feed.

Your existing Podcast subscriptions will remain visible in your account but will be paused, and cannot be reactivated. They are retained temporarily so you can still request historical backfills (see below).

To continue monitoring podcast coverage, create or update a Topic that includes Podcasts as a media type.

During the transition period, you can still request a backfill of up to 90 days of historical podcast coverage.

To monitor podcast coverage:

1. Create a new Topic or edit an existing one.

2. Enter the keywords or Boolean search you want to monitor.

3. Select Podcasts as a media type.

4. Configure any additional search settings, if needed.

5. Save your Topic.

Matching podcast coverage will appear alongside your online, print, broadcast, and social coverage in your Topic results.

Once your Topic begins collecting podcast coverage, you can review podcast mentions directly from your Topic results.

To view a podcast mention:

1. Open a Topic that includes Podcasts as a media type.

2. Click the headline of a podcast mention.

3. The episode will play within the Mention Player in Agility.

Podcasts are categorised into subjects (see the list at the end of this article). Each mention displays the subject category the podcast falls under within the Mention Player.

You can also open the podcast in your browser to play it there, download it to your computer, or share the link with others. Podcasts are presented as contained, single episodes with transcripts and a highlights feature that lets you pinpoint the exact moment of your mention.

To keep a podcast mention available in Agility, for example, to add it to a briefing or report — make sure you save the mention to your account.

Podcast content saved from Topics can be used in reporting, briefings, and coverage alerts, the same as other media types.

If you want to reduce the length of a podcast episode, you can download it and edit it using an online tool such as AudioTrimmer.

To download a podcast:

1. View the Media URL.

2. Click the three-dot menu.

3. Select Download.

If you expected a podcast mention but it doesn't appear in your Topic:

• Confirm that your Topic includes Podcasts as a media type.

• Verify that your search terms would match the episode's transcript.

• If you're looking for historical coverage from the previous 90 days during the transition period, request a backfill if applicable.

If you continue to experience missing podcast coverage, please contact Agility Support for further investigation.

• Include Podcasts as a media type in any Topic where you want podcast coverage.

• Use focused keywords or Boolean searches to improve matching, since podcast matching is based on transcript text.

• Save important podcast mentions before sharing, editing, or including them in a briefing or report.

• If expected podcast coverage continues to be missing after verifying your Topic settings, contact Agility Support for investigation.

No. Podcast monitoring is now performed through Topics that include Podcasts as a media type.

Existing subscriptions remain visible in your account but are paused and cannot be reactivated. They are kept temporarily so you can still request a historical backfill. After the transition period ends, these subscriptions will be removed.

During the transition period, you can request a backfill of up to 90 days of historical podcast coverage.

First, verify that your Topic includes Podcasts as a media type and that your search terms would match the episode's transcript. If it's still missing, contact Agility Support so the coverage can be investigated.
