Podcast monitoring tool for brand mentions in episode titles and show notes
The short answer
A podcast monitoring tool tracks when your brand, products or competitors are mentioned inside podcast episodes, a channel most listening tools ignore entirely. EyeOut monitors podcast mentions alongside Google News, Reddit, Mastodon, Hacker News, Lemmy and Apple Podcasts twice an hour, reads each mention for sentiment, and alerts you when podcast chatter about you spikes. It reads the published text layer of each episode (title, description and show notes), not the spoken audio. It is self-serve, from $39 per month billed yearly.
Podcasts are a blind spot for most monitoring tools, yet a single mention on a popular show can drive a wave of interest, or a wave of complaints. Podcast monitoring closes that gap, and EyeOut catches episodes that name your brand, products and competitors in their titles, descriptions and show notes on the next 30-minute scan after they are published.
Each mention is scored for sentiment and given the context around it, so you know whether a host praised you, criticized you, or simply name-checked you. A mention on a high-reach show triggers an alert. Because podcasts sit alongside Google News, Reddit, Mastodon, Hacker News and Lemmy in EyeOut, you see them in the same feed as the rest of your coverage. Start watching podcasts today.

Why it works
What your team gets with podcast monitoring
Mentions in the episode text
EyeOut reads each episode title, description and set of show notes, which is where sponsors, guests and products get named. It does not transcribe audio, so a brand said only out loud will not appear.
Context and sentiment
Each mention comes with the surrounding context and a sentiment read, so you know exactly how you were discussed.
A first-class source
Podcasts are tracked alongside every other channel, closing the blind spot most monitoring tools leave wide open.
What it handles
Watched, read and flagged twice an hour
EyeOut watches Google News, Reddit, Mastodon, Hacker News, Lemmy and podcasts for your brand, scores each mention for sentiment, rolls it up into a daily digest and share of voice, and alerts you when a real spike begins.
- Catches brand mentions in podcast titles, descriptions and show notes
