    Podcast, people, company and topic intelligence. Authenticate with a pp_ API
    key (X-API-Key header) or pay per request with x402: a keyless call to a
    billable endpoint returns 402 with the payment requirements in the
    PAYMENT-REQUIRED header; sign the USDC transfer and repeat the request with
    PAYMENT-SIGNATURE. Start with GET /v1/podcasts/search?q=<show name>; the
    slugs in responses are the inputs to the other endpoints. Docs:
