Big news: Parla now has every active podcast in the world in its database. That’s over 1 million shows and more than 150 million episodes—and you can search through all of it like you're Googling the internet.

Whether you’re on the hunt for your next guest spot, scouting shows for brand partnerships, or just trying to figure out what podcasts are talking about your space… this unlocks a lot of doors.

So What Can You Actually Do?

We didn’t just dump a massive list of shows into a database and call it a day. We made it searchable, sortable, and actually useful.

Here’s what’s new:

  • Search podcasts like Google – Keyword search? ✅
    Semantic search? ✅ (Yep, even if you don’t use the exact phrasing, we get what you’re looking for.)

  • Get hyper-specific with filters – Narrow your search by:

    • Category (business, health, comedy, you name it)

    • Apple Podcasts rating

    • Update frequency (daily, weekly, etc.)

    • Podcast age

    • Average episode length

    • Published date

  • Read the transcripts – Every podcast episode in Parla comes with a full transcript, so you can quickly scan the content without scrubbing through audio or video.

Why This Matters

Let’s be real—podcast discovery hasn’t exactly kept up with how people actually search for things. Whether you're trying to find shows in your niche, pitch potential guests, or research a topic, you’ve probably spent way too much time clicking through dead links or trying to guess which podcasts are still alive.

With Parla, you get a clean, searchable view of the entire active podcast ecosystem—not just the top 1% of shows that already have tons of visibility. That means more opportunities, more access, and a lot less guesswork.

TL;DR

Parla just leveled up. You can now:

  • Search across 1M+ podcasts and 150M+ episodes

  • Filter by basically anything

  • Read transcripts before you even hit play

If you’re serious about podcast outreach, discovery, or research, this is one of those “why didn’t this exist sooner?” kind of tools.
