Better + more strategies for finding podcasts

[btzr-io]

• Current strategy: Data analysis ( Guessing based on metadata ).

  Works really well but channels can exploit / spam the system.
  Also for real artist / creators is difficult to follow a guide to maintain a clean, consistent and valid metadata.

• Current strategy: Manual classification.

  Only used when first strategy fails.
  Needs real people to manually do classification.

• New strategy: Hyperlink analyzer #33

  More difficult to exploit and gives a more accurate classification.
  Creators will require to have an account on other websites like soundcloud, spotify, bandcamp, etc...

• New stategy: Extract nested metadata from description #26

  Used by google and other search engines.
  Probably the faster strategy, good for optimizations.
  Same problems as current strategy but gives a more accurate classification.

• Deprecated strategy: AI (Zero-Shot Classification).

  This strategy was slow and inaccurate. This will require more time, resources and help to bring it back.
  If you are interested on helping please let me know.

I'd really like to see a longer piece describing and walking through what kind of thing is actually happening under the hood for each of these strategies. More of a narrative description than a step-by-step programmatic breakdown.

That would probably be a big plus for being able to talk about what's going on here.

This issue is just to track progress and or discuss new strategies or how to improve old ones. I'm working on a blog post / article explaining how it actually works + answers of questions from discord. Feel free to ask on discord if you are interested on adding more questions for the article ( blog post ).
