PodClash — Find Opposing Views

What this is

AI-generated commentary that maps how podcasters argue a topic. It is not a transcript, not a quote, and not an endorsement of any position.

What it is not

Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or representing any podcast or network
Not a verbatim quote or transcript of any episode
Not a substitute for listening to the original episodes (links are provided)

Scientific consensus topics

On topics where scientific or medical consensus exists (climate change, vaccines, evolution, and similar), one position in a clash may reflect widespread expert agreement while another reflects a minority view. PodClash flags these topics with a visible warning. The clash format shows how these topics are debated in the podcast world — not that both positions carry equal scientific weight.

Copyright and fair use

Summaries are transformative AI commentary created for discovery purposes and provided under fair use. No audio is reproduced. Original episodes are linked so you can hear the source directly.

Podcast artwork is displayed via the Apple iTunes Search API and remains copyright of the respective podcast creators.

We don't know who you are. We don't want to. We just want to make PodClash better.

What we collect

When you use PodClash, we assign your browser a random ID — a string of letters and numbers that means nothing on its own. It has no connection to your name, email, location, or device identity.

We use that ID to remember:

Which topics you searched
Which view (A or B) you found more convincing
Optional answers to one-question surveys (age range, podcast habits, political lean) — only if you choose to answer

That's it.

What we don't collect

No name, email, or account
No precise location
No tracking across other websites
No selling your data to anyone, ever
No ads targeted at you personally

How we use it

We look at patterns across all users combined — not at you individually. For example: "most people sided with View B on AI topics" or "weekly listeners tend to lean more centrist."

We use these patterns to:

Improve how PodClash surfaces topics and podcast pairings
Help partner podcasts understand their audience in general terms

About partner content. We also use your anonymous profile to decide which partner recommendations to show you. For example, if you listen daily and lean politically moderate, a partner podcast targeting that profile may appear as a suggestion.

To be clear about what this means: the partner never learns who you are — they tell us "show this to users who match X" and we do the matching privately on our side. No partner ever receives your random ID or any record linked to you. This works the same way a TV network sells ads to reach "adults 25–44" without handing the advertiser a list of names.

If you'd prefer not to be matched to partner content, delete your session data below.

Your control

Your random ID lives only in your browser — clear your browser data and it's gone permanently
Survey questions are always optional — skip any of them, no consequences
You can delete your session data instantly using the button below

Our honest intent

We built PodClash to explore ideas, not to harvest personal data. The anonymous ID exists purely so we can count things accurately and serve relevant content — not to build a profile of you. This policy is our public commitment to keep it that way.

Delete my data

Tapping this button permanently deletes all session data associated with your browser — your votes, survey answers, and anonymous ID. A new anonymous ID will be assigned the next time you use PodClash.
