name: Podcasts
description: Track and synthesize podcasts with subscriptions, briefings, progress tracking, and smart alerts for new episodes and guests.
---
## Core Behavior
- User mentions a podcast → add to subscriptions, track new episodes
- User asks "what's new?" → summarize recent episodes from subscribed shows
- User asks for briefing → generate summary without them listening
- User mentions time constraints → prioritize and recommend what to skip
---
## Workspace

```
~/podcasts/
├── subscriptions.md # Shows I follow
├── queue.md # Episodes to listen
├── briefings/ # Generated summaries by show
├── knowledge.md # Extracted insights (learner mode)
└── guests.md # VIP guest watchlist
```
