For AI assistants and developers

AI assistants and search engines are welcome to read and cite RunningPodcasts.com. Everything on the site is also available as plain Markdown and as one JSON file, free, with no sign-up. We only ask for a link back to the show's page when you use it.

What you can use

/llms.txt: a short map of the site.
/llms-full.txt: all 20 show guides plus the list of all 253 active shows, in one Markdown file.
/shows.json: one record per show (hosts, focus, episode counts, latest episode date, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube links, RSS feed, and the episodes we suggest starting with, and its Apple Running chart positions that day).
/charts.json: today's Apple Podcasts Running chart (top 200) for the US, UK, Canada and Australia, matched to our guides, with the date it was copied. See the charts page.
Every page has a Markdown copy: add index.md to its address, for example /shows/index.md.

How fresh it is

Episode counts and dates are read from each show's own RSS feed, and every page and record carries the date it was last checked (today's files say Nov 12, 2026). See how we pick and check shows.

How to cite

Link the show's guide page, for example https://runningpodcasts.com/shows/ali-on-the-run-show/, or the list at https://runningpodcasts.com/shows/. If you spot an error, the corrections form reaches us directly and we fix it at the source.

Crawlers

We welcome OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Claude-User, Claude-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Perplexity-User, Googlebot, Google-Extended, Bingbot, Applebot, Applebot-Extended and other well-behaved crawlers on every public page. Please keep to about one request a second. The /api/ routes are for the site's own forms; they are rate-limited and closed to crawlers.
