From RSS to verification, in about three minutes.
We don't score a single episode and call it a day. Podcasts are bodies of work; the score reflects that.
- 01
Drop your RSS feed
Paste the URL. podpass pulls your most recent 3 episodes and randomly samples 2 more from your back catalogue — five episodes total, each weighted equally.
- 02
AI listens, classifies, scores
Speech-to-text transcribes the audio (we use any podcast:transcript tags if your feed has them). podpass AI scores every transcript across the seven brand-safety categories.
- 03
You get a verifiable score
A 0–100 podcast-level score, a category breakdown, a unique verification code, an embeddable badge, and a PDF report you can attach to any pitch deck.
- 04
Sponsors check it themselves
One public link, no login. Brand-safety teams confirm the score independently before they approve a buy — they don't take your word for it, they don't have to.
the rubric
The same seven categories. The same weights. Every podcast.
Brand-safety scoring is only useful if sponsors can compare across shows. We publish the rubric, fix the weights, and refuse to change them per customer.
- Five episodes, equal weight — the 3 most recent plus 2 random from your back catalogue each count the same toward the podcast score.
- Two random episodes from your back catalogue are part of the five — surprise checks on the years you'd rather skip.
- 90+ Universally Safe, 80–89 Generally Safe, 70–79 Moderate Risk, <70 High Risk.

frequently asked
The questions sponsors ask first.
- Why score the whole podcast and not each episode?
- Because that's how sponsors buy. Endorsement deals, host-reads, and series-level sponsorships are negotiated against the show, not a single episode. A podcast-level score reflects the real risk profile.
- How do you decide which episodes get analyzed?
- The three most recent, then two randomly sampled from your back catalogue — five in total, each weighted equally. The randomness keeps the score honest.
- Can I challenge a low score?
- You can re-run the analysis on a Monitoring plan after publishing new episodes. You can't pay to change the rubric. The weights and bands are public and identical for every customer.
- What if my feed has fewer than five episodes?
- We score whatever's there — minimum three. The weights renormalize so a three-episode podcast still gets a comparable 0–100. New shows can verify on day one.
- Does this work for episodes that aren't in English?
- podpass AI transcribes ~50 languages and scores against the rubric in any of them. Verification badges and reports render in English regardless of source language.
- What does the sponsor actually see when they look up my code?
- A public page with your podcast title, the overall score, the band label, the five episodes we analyzed, and the per-category breakdown. No login required.
