A simple Django app that tracks podcast feeds and provides some useful metrics about them.

Django Podcast Analyzer

A simple Django app that allows you to follow the feeds of various podcasts and glean interesting information from them.

Warning

This is early stage! Things that still need to be done:

• Simplify templates so you can easily integrate them without a lot of styling opinions.
• Analysis group reporting views.
• Finish test coverage.
• Improved docs.

Installation

Via pip:

python -m pip install django-podcast-analyzer

Via uv:

uv pip install django-podcast-analyzer

Then add it and our dependencies to your list of installed apps.

# settings.py

# Your setup may vary.
INSTALLED_APPS = [
    "django.contrib.auth",
    "django.contrib.contenttypes",
    "django.contrib.sessions",
    "django.contrib.sites",
    "django.contrib.messages",
    "django.contrib.staticfiles",
    "django.contrib.admin",
    "django.forms",
    ...,
    # Here are our explict dependencies
    "tagulous",
    "django_q",
    "podcast_analyzer",
]

We use tagulous for tagging podcasts and django-q2 to handle the scheduled tasks related to fetching feeds and processing them. See the documentation for both of those projects to identify any additional configuration needed.

Add it to your urls.py:

# Your root urls.py

from django.urls import include, path

urlpatterns = [
    ...,
    path("podcasts/", include("podcast_analyzer.urls", namespace="podcasts")),
    ...,
]

Then run your migrations.

python manage.py migrate

In order to run the application, you will also need to spawn a django-q cluster using python manage.py qcluster. You can also use a runner like honcho or a Supervisor app.

Other Recommendations

For storage of podcast art and other media, it's recommended you consider using something like django-storages.
