particle_podcast_list_related_episodes
Episodes from OTHER shows that cover the same story or subject as a given episode, best first — a live nearest-neighbour search over episode content, reranked on shared salient entities, shared topics and a shared news story. Each row carries a calibrated score and a band (strong / moderate / weak) to branch on; pass include: ["basis"] to see the signals behind every match. Each show contributes at most two episodes, the same content republished on another feed is collapsed to one row, and feeds the screens flag as machine-made or syndication spam are excluded.
Use it when you already have an episode and want its coverage elsewhere ('who else covered this?'). Add published_within_days (7–30) to keep to the same news cycle; same_podcast: true admits the show's own episodes, which are otherwise excluded.
Do NOT use it to find dialogue about a topic — that is particle_podcast_search_transcripts — nor to find every line naming an entity, which is particle_podcast_find_mentions. Episode slugs on every row feed particle_podcast_get_episode; podcast slugs feed particle_podcast_resolve.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Results per page (1-50, default 10). | |
| cursor | No | Opaque pagination cursor from a previous response. | |
| include | No | 'basis' attaches, per result, the signals behind the match: content similarity, shared entities with names, shared topics, a shared news story, shared guests, days apart. | |
| episode_slug | Yes | Episode slug or ID (from particle_podcast_list_episodes, particle_podcast_get_episode, or a search result). A particle.pro or Radar episode link also works. | |
| same_podcast | No | Admit episodes of the same show. Off by default — a show's own episodes are its episode list (particle_podcast_list_episodes), not its related content. | |
| output_format | No | Output serialization. 'markdown' (default) returns the LLM-facing rendering. 'json' returns the structured payload as JSON text — use only for programmatic chaining where exact field extraction matters; the JSON shape is larger and noisier for an LLM to read. | |
| published_within_days | No | Only episodes published within this many days of the query episode, on either side. Omit for no window. Use 7–30 for 'who else covered this story'. |
