List the shows most related to a podcast, best first — "shows like this show". Each result carries the related show's slug, a calibrated score in (0,1], and a coarse band (strong: same beat and audience; moderate: overlapping subject or audience; weak: a loose connection) to branch on. Add `include: ["basis"]` to see WHY each pair is related: content similarity of recent episodes, shared topics, shared guests (named), same publisher, shared sponsors — use it to explain a recommendation or to keep only pairs related for the reason you care about (shared guests for booking, content for media planning).
Related sets are precomputed per show from its transcripts, topic profile, guest roster, network and advertisers, restricted to the show's language. Only shows above a relatedness floor are listed, machine-generated and farmed feeds are never listed, and a publisher's duplicate feeds of one show appear once. An empty FIRST page is not an error: its `coverage` says whether the set is not computed yet, nothing cleared the floor, or the request's filters and the default policy removed everything; an empty page reached through a cursor is simply the end of the list.
Not a topic browser: for shows that COVER a topic use `particle_podcast_resolve` with `topic_slug`. Not a guest lookup: for where a person has appeared use `particle_podcast_get_guest`. Not advertiser co-occurrence: use `particle_podcast_get_sponsors`. Every related show's slug feeds `particle_podcast_resolve`, `particle_podcast_list_episodes` and the other podcast tools; person slugs in the basis feed `particle_podcast_get_guest`, topic slugs feed `particle_podcast_resolve`'s `topic_slug`. For the five most related shows inline on a resolve, pass `include: ["related"]` to `particle_podcast_resolve` instead of calling this tool.
