This might not look like much, but I improved our transcription to person matching system today to also include if a host is absent from the episode.
This demo is using @james Podnews where @dave stepped in to be co-host for the episode while @samsethi was away.
Note that this episode did NOT have the person tag it utilised only the transcription to work all this out.

Well I am surprised by this result, PodID was able to match out of last nights Podcast 2.0 show with a 98.91% accuracy that I was mentioned on the show.
total time @dave & @adam discussed #PodID was 1.99% of total length of show.
This match came by looking at the basic level data that is linked to my profile on PodID.

How do I find a person's PodID (if they use PodID.org)
Take the Href from the person tag (as it already is) sha256 it and then send the request to
This will return their PodID
Then to get every podcast they have been on query their PodID like this
https://podid.org/api/v1/podidLookup?podid=xy6a79ra
This brings to apps a feature that we have not had before now you can see all the podcasts I have featured on or been a co-host/host of.

So Danny from #captivate reached out to me and asked how can he claim a show as he is the host.
Sadly seems like the RSS feed doesn't have podcast:person in it, so I recommended that be added, but we also made another way.
#PodID now will look at <itunes:author>
best of all, if you have multiple hosts just as long as you have each person separated by a comma we can find you.
#PodID - Connecting made easy.

So PodToo had this feature back in 2023 we removed it, and now we are releasing it under #PodID
We just purchased PodID.org our commitment is it will always be FREE and will only be for showing which podcasts you featured on.
It will also give you a PodID number & we have an API.
This technically was possible internally of PodToo already, but for mass adopting I think separating it out makes more sense.
