Particle has launched Radar, a podcast search service and API that transcribes audio and identifies speakers, entities, quotes and highlights. The company says its index covers more than 130,000 podcasts, including Apple's Top 200 across 135 verticals, and adds 20,000 episodes daily. Radar offers alerts and programmatic access through an API and MCP, with hedge funds, AI search platforms and data resellers among reported customers or partners.
