Every newsletter issue and podcast episode is one record, with the same fields whichever it is. We enrich each one with the people's contact details, who the sponsors are, and what topics it covers. Archives go back as far as each publisher's feed does. Benedict Evans goes back to 2013, Acquired to 2015.
A sample record
One Dwarkesh Podcast episode, from three API calls: the episode, the first turns of its transcript, and the show. Long text is cut short here.
Speakers have their real names, and ad reads are labelled apart from the conversation. Those are the two things your pipeline would otherwise have to build.
Freshness
New issues and episodes are collected continuously as they're published, so the data stays fresh rather than arriving in a daily or weekly batch. Podcast transcripts follow once the episode has been transcribed.

Why podcasts and newsletters
Search results and social feeds are filling up with generated content. People are moving their real opinions to spaces they chose: a newsletter they subscribed to, a podcast hosted by someone they trust.
