- Analyzing transcripts from Lennys Podcast
- SKILL.md covers Quick Reference, Supported Podcasts, Implementation and Supported Workflows, plus 4 more sections

What it does
Podcast Transcript Fetcher is an agent skill from Varnan-Tech/opendirectory. Use when fetching, searching, or analyzing transcripts from Lenny's Podcast, Dwarkesh Podcast, Cheeky Pint, 20VC, or A16z Podcast. Tier 2 (RSS+Groq Whisper) is the recommended approach -- fast, free, and most reliable. Also use when asked to "get transcript", "find episode", "summarize podcast", or "search podcast content". Do not use for general web scraping or non-podcast audio transcription.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `README.md`, `package.json` and `references/podcasts.md`).
It sits in Media & Creative, covering Podcasting, Transcription and Web scraping. It works with Substack. The repository describes itself as: AI Agent Skills built for Founders who hate Marketing. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Analyzing transcripts from Lennys Podcast
- Dwarkesh Podcast
- Asked to get transcript
- Summarize podcast
Example prompts
- “get transcript”
- “find episode”
- “summarize podcast”
- “/podcast-transcript-fetcher”
Requirements
- Python 3
- A credential in GROQ_API_KEY
- A credential in TADDY_API_KEY
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 62e437a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
pythonpipwingetbrew
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
console.groq.comtaddy.org
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
TADDY_API_KEYGROQ_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Podcast Transcript Fetcher loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 106 tokens; SKILL.md has 616 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:190
ys**: Set `GROQ_API_KEY` in your env or `.env` file
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Implementation
1. Install Dependencies
# Core (always required)
pip install requests
# Cloud transcription (recommended — fast, free tier)
pip install groq
export GROQ_API_KEY="your-key" # Get at https://console.groq.com
# Local transcription (free, needs ~5GB RAM)
pip install faster-whisper
# Audio compression (for Groq's 25 MB limit — Windows: winget/scoop)
# winget install ffmpeg or scoop install ffmpeg
# Taddy API (commercial, optional)
export TADDY_API_KEY="your-key" # Get at https://taddy.org2. Get a Transcript
The script auto-selects the best method. Tier 2 is the default recommendation:

Tier 3: Taddy API (commercial/premium)
- Requires
TADDY_API_KEY($75/mo+) - Use for large-scale or production transcript needs
- Covers all 5 podcasts with auto-transcription
3. Analyze with AI
Once you have a transcript, pipe it to the agent for analysis:
I have this transcript from [podcast]. Can you:
1. Summarize the key arguments
2. Extract 3 actionable insights
3. Identify any controversial claims
4. Compare with [other podcast] on the same topicSupported Workflows

---Podcast Registry
The registry at scripts/podcasts.json maps each podcast to its RSS feeds, transcript sources, and API endpoints. To add new podcasts:
{
"id": "new-podcast",
"name": "New Podcast",
"rss": "https://example.com/feed.xml",
"transcript_sources": {
"primary": {"type": "website_scrape", "url": "https://example.com"}
}
}Troubleshooting
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| "No transcript found" | Tier 2 (RSS+Whisper) is the recommended approach. If auto mode fails, try --method whisper to force it. |
| RSS fetch fails | RSS feeds may change; check scripts/podcasts.json for current URLs |
| Audio download slow | Large MP3s can take minutes on slow connections |
| Groq rate limited | Wait or switch to local faster-whisper |
| Taddy not returning transcripts | Some episodes lack transcripts; try --method whisper |
| Podcast not in registry | Add it to scripts/podcasts.json |
| Unicode error on Windows | Fixed: script auto-reconfigures stdout to UTF-8; saved files use UTF-8 encoding |
| Audio > 25 MB for Groq | Install ffmpeg: winget install ffmpeg (Windows) or brew install ffmpeg (macOS) |
RSS Feed Status (as of 2026-06)
| Podcast | Old Feed (broken) | Current Feed |
|---|---|---|
| Cheeky Pint | feeds.transistor.fm/the-cheeky-pint (404) | feeds.transistor.fm/cheeky-pint-with-john-collison |
| 20VC | feeds.simplecast.com/3GxrMqOd (404) | feeds.libsyn.com/61840/rss |
| A16z | feeds.simplecast.com/0cJfpoz2 (404) | feeds.simplecast.com/JGE3yC0V |
Common Mistakes
- Forgetting API keys: Set
GROQ_API_KEYin your env or.envfile - Relying on Tier 1 free sources: Tier 1 is best-effort and limited. Always fall back to Tier 2 (RSS+Whisper) which is the recommended method.
- Not cloning the Lenny's repo first: The GitHub archive must be cloned locally for Tier 1 to work
- Using --method taddy without TADDY_API_KEY: Falls through silently; set the key or use auto mode
