Previously, when a playlist contained multiple podcasts, the embed widget would only display the shows by default.
We’ve just added support for Latest Episodes! This is a game-changer for podcast networks or curators who want a single, dynamic widget that automatically updates with the freshest content across multiple curated podcasts.
How to enable it:
1) Open your playlist and head over to the EMBED tab.
2) Under the Item type dropdown, select \"Latest episodes.\"
4) Copy your embed code.
We’ve integrated the Media Session API into our website's audio player. Previously, listeners encountered issues with native playback controls on mobile devices, such as the iPhone lock screen.
With this update, you can now manage your playback (play, pause, and seek) directly from your device's lock screen or notification center, providing a more seamless listening experience on the go.

We've completely revamped demo.PodcastAPI.com to better showcase the search capabilities of the Podcast API.
The demo site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages.
The entire source code for this demo is available on GitHub at ListenNotes/demo.podcastapi.com. We encourage you to fork the repo, experiment with the implementation, and use it as a foundation for your own projects.
Check out the new UI below:

We just made it much easier to build with the Listen Notes Podcast API using AI. You can now access our entire API documentation as a single Markdown file at https://www.listennotes.com/api/docs/openapi.md
Whether you are using ChatGPT, Claude, or any other LLM, you can now simply copy-paste the entire documentation to give the AI full context. This allows your favorite AI assistant to help you write, debug, and optimize your code with perfect accuracy.
You can also find the markdown file at https://www.listennotes.com/api/docs/:

At Listen Notes, we are committed to upholding free speech within the podcasting ecosystem. However, to operate globally and remain accessible, we must comply with local laws in specific regions.
We’ve introduced a new internal tool that allows our team to manage regional content restrictions more efficiently. This ensures we meet legal requirements from local governments while keeping the platform available for everyone else. After 9+ years of growth, we’re embracing the responsibilities that come with being an established global platform.

This migration marks a significant milestone for our team and delivers several key benefits:
1) Cost Savings: By consolidating our tools into BetterStack, we’ve reduced our costs for the monitoring/alerting tools by an incredible ~90%.
2) Enhanced Productivity: Managing a single platform streamlines our workflows, enabling our team to focus on what matters most.
3) Increased Flexibility: BetterStack provides a robust and customizable environment that meets our unique operational needs.
4) Improved Usability: A user-friendly interface and cohesive design make monitoring and alerting smoother than ever before.
We also want to give a special shoutout to the BetterStack customer support team, who made the migration process seamless with their exceptional assistance. Their professionalism and helpfulness stand in stark contrast to the less-than-stellar experiences we’ve had with some other providers who are all public companies.
This is a major step forward in optimizing our operations, and we’re looking forward to reaping the benefits of a streamlined devops with BetterStack.
