What are people in my market saying this month, without a subscription?

The One-Topic Market Snapshot from Verbatim, by Gerard Blokdyk of The Art of Service, is a one-off file of this month's podcast moments on one topic, drawn from 900+ business and technology podcasts. Each moment carries the speaker, show, date and a link that plays the exact second. It is a single purchase, quoted by hand, for people who want one answer, not a plan. The Free plan stays free, and Verbatim Pro is USD 29 a month.

How do you read a snapshot in 10 minutes?

  1. Read the newest week first, quotes only.
  2. Mark every quote that carries a number.
  3. Play the two that would change a decision, at the second.
  4. Note which roles keep saying the same thing.
  5. Keep the file: every link still plays next month.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a one-off podcast research report without a subscription?

Yes. The Verbatim One-Topic Market Snapshot is a single file of this month's podcast moments on one topic, quoted by hand and paid once. There is nothing to cancel. Every moment carries the speaker, show, date and a link that plays the exact second it was said.

What is the difference between the snapshot and Verbatim Pro?

The snapshot is one topic, one month, one file, paid once. Verbatim Pro is USD 29 a month for up to 50 topics, a 25-name watchlist with next-morning alerts, 30-day search and CSV export. The snapshot suits one question; Pro suits a market you follow every week.

How fresh are the moments?

The Verbatim library updates every day from 900+ business and technology podcasts. A One-Topic Market Snapshot covers the month before it is delivered, so the newest moments may be only days old. Each moment shows the date of the episode it came from.

Can I pick any topic?

Name it in your own words. Gerard checks the request against the Verbatim library first, and if there are too few first-hand moments on the topic this month, the reply says so before any fee is quoted. Broad topics may be narrowed so the snapshot stays readable.

How are quotes checked?

Every quote in a Verbatim snapshot links to the second it was said and plays from that second, so you can check it yourself. Shows flagged as possibly machine-made are reviewed by a person, and excluded shows never appear. If a link is broken or an attribution wrong, Verbatim refunds.

Can I upgrade to Pro later?

Yes, at any time, and nothing about the snapshot changes. Verbatim Pro is USD 29 a month, cancel any time, and keeps the same kind of moments arriving on up to 50 topics. The Free plan is another option: a Monday brief on 3 topics, free for as long as you like.
