# For Podcasters | The Podcast App

# Your listeners are asking Brain questions about your show. Here's what they're asking.

Every week, thousands of listeners use Brain Ask to ask questions about your episodes. Claim your show and get a free weekly digest of the real questions your audience is asking — the ones they'd never post in a review. Turn listener intelligence into your content calendar.

“What does this show think will happen to jobs in the next 5 years?”

Asked 84 times this week

“Which episode had the most contrarian take on AI?”

Asked 61 times this week

“What's the best episode to start with for someone new to the show?”

Asked 47 times this week

## Listener intelligence that no other platform offers.

Brain Ask is unique: it's the only podcast feature that captures what listeners are genuinely thinking about your content, not just what they choose to say publicly.

### Weekly Top Questions

The top questions your listeners asked Brain about your show this week — anonymised and aggregated. No personal data, just the questions.

"What does \[your show\] think about the future of \[your main topic\]?"

Asked 47 times this week

### Topic Trend Map

Updated weekly

### Content Gap Finder

Questions your listeners are asking that your existing episodes don't answer well. These are your next episode ideas — validated by real audience demand.

"What's the practical first step for \[topic you've covered broadly but not specifically\]?"

No episode answers this yet

### Show Notes Link

A verified badge on your show profile and a link you can add to show notes: "Ask Brain about this episode →". Drives new listeners to the app organically.

Verified podcaster badge visible to all listeners on your show profile.

Free to add to every episode

## Your listeners are already asking. Now you can hear them.

### The questions listeners never ask publicly

Reviews tell you what listeners think after they've decided to write a review. Brain Ask captures what they're thinking while they're listening — the genuine curiosity, the follow-up questions, the "I wonder if…" moments.

This is a category of listener intelligence that has never existed before. It's not a survey. It's not a comment section. It's what your audience is actually thinking about your content.

### Turn intelligence into growth

Add "Ask Brain about this episode →" to your show notes. Listeners who click discover the app, download it, and become engaged users who listen more deeply to your back catalogue. It's a growth loop that benefits both you and your listeners.

## Free for all podcasters. Takes 2 minutes.

## Support listener Q&A and feed quality with the right creator-side tools.

## Your Questions, Answered

### What does claiming my show on The Podcast App give me?

Claiming your show unlocks a free weekly digest of the questions listeners ask Brain about your episodes, anonymised and aggregated. You also get a topic trend map showing which subjects gain momentum, a content-gap view of questions your catalogue doesn't answer well, and a verified badge plus an "Ask Brain about this episode" link for your show notes. Setup takes about two minutes.

### Does it cost anything to claim my podcast?

No. Claiming your show and receiving the weekly listener-question digest are free for podcasters. You submit your show name, RSS feed or Apple Podcasts link, and email; the team verifies ownership and sets up your dashboard, typically within 48 hours. Premium is optional and relates to listener-side AI features, not to accessing your own show's aggregated question intelligence.

### Is the listener data you share with me anonymous?

Yes. The digest reports the questions listeners asked Brain about your show in aggregate, without personal data or individual identities attached. You see what your audience is genuinely curious about, ranked by how often each question comes up, but not who asked. The goal is to give you content signal from real listening moments while keeping listener privacy intact.

### How can the listener questions help me plan episodes?

The questions reveal what your audience wonders about while listening, not just what they write in reviews. The content-gap view flags recurring questions your existing episodes don't fully answer, giving you demand-validated episode ideas. The topic trend map shows which themes are building momentum, so you can prioritize the subjects your listeners are most actively thinking about across your back catalogue.

### Will claiming my show help me reach new listeners?

It can. Once verified, you get a badge on your show profile and a shareable "Ask Brain about this episode" link you can add to show notes. Listeners who click discover the app and your episodes, then can explore your back catalogue in more depth. It's an organic growth loop: your show notes drive discovery, and engaged listeners generate more useful question intelligence.
