What's this blog post about?

This text describes the process of building a podcast search engine using Python. The author starts by discussing their motivation for learning Python and lists some key concepts they need to understand, such as loops, conditions, file access, HTTP requests, and building an API. They then proceed to build the search engine step-by-step, covering tasks like accessing podcast RSS feeds, transcribing audio files using Deepgram's SDK, creating a Flask back-end API, and designing a user interface for the search engine. The final result is a working podcast search engine with an ugliest possible user interface that includes playing audio snippets when users search for specific words or phrases.
