How does PitchCentric decide which podcasts are about Defense & Government?
We don't rely on Apple Podcasts categories. those are too coarse. Instead, we generate a detailed vocabulary description of Defense & Government, embed it as a high-dimensional semantic vector, then compare to similarly-embedded vectors for every podcast in our catalog. The shows that score highest on cosine similarity are the ones whose actual episode content most aligns with Defense & Government.
How often do you re-rank Defense & Government podcasts?
Every podcast's embedding refreshes when its description, topic list, or new episodes change. typically every 24-48 hours. So this page reflects the current state of the catalog.
