The Guest Research Pack
Generates a deep-dive prep brief for every podcast guest 24 hours before recording — recent work, controversies, three angles others haven't asked.
What it does
Twenty-four hours before each scheduled podcast recording, this agent produces a comprehensive guest research pack: their recent work (last 6 months), their public positions on key topics, what other podcasts have asked them (so you don't repeat), three under-explored angles unique to your show's audience, and three "this might be uncomfortable but worth asking" questions. Saves a podcast producer's most-hated three hours of every week.
The Manus prompt

24 hours before any podcast recording on my calendar, research the guest using their public profile, recent articles, last 10 podcast appearances, and any social posts in the last 90 days. Produce a research pack with: their three most-recent significant works, their stated positions on the topics in our show's wheelhouse, what other podcasts have already covered (so we avoid repeating), three under-explored angles specific to our audience, and three "uncomfortable but worth asking" questions. Output as a Notion doc, formatted for my host to read in 10 minutes.
