### 1/5 — Doesn’t appear to work

*2026-03-15*

Takes about 2 minutes for AI to analyze a 60 minute episode. But I don’t know what it is doing. The episode I was listening to had dynamically inserted ads at a different volume level. You would think it would be an easy detect. Nope about 10 minutes in some casino ad at max volume.

### 1/5 — Didn’t work

*2026-03-06*

Tried it on 2 different podcasts. 0-2
