# List related episodes

> Returns episodes from other shows that cover the same story or subject as this episode, best first: a live nearest-neighbour search over episode content, reranked on shared salient entities, shared topics and a shared news story. Each result carries a calibrated score and a band (strong / moderate / weak); pass include=basis to see the signals behind each match. Use published_within_days for 'who else covered this story this week'; pass same_podcast=true to admit the show's own episodes. Returns an empty page when the episode has no embedded content yet, and 404 when the episode is not found.
