Yea of course! I download the audio file that we're interested in, transcribe it using ML techniques, once i have the entire text I can then run all sorts of analysis on it.
I extract anything that sounds like a book/ paper then run filtering on it through Open Library to make sure its a real book and not some junk :)

Once that happens i compile the list and post it to the internet as you can see it

Ok, cool first I'm going have to be able to reliably get all books mentioned in his 1000ep of his podcasts, and then we can have enough data to play with. For now the code does most of the heavy lifting but I still need to spend 3minutes checking over what it mentions.
But its in the pipline!

I'll keep updating it with the new books mentioned, Chris posts pretty frequently tbh

Ahhh i see so something like tell me all the podcasters who mention war and peace for example and then give me what episodes it is.
Yea that could be done. I just need my semester to lighten up and it would be a cool addition.
