Every Monday’s Topic Radar stays permanently online. Use the archive to trace how a topic moved quarter over quarter.

Methodology

Momentum is episodes-with-topic in the last 7 days divided by the trailing 28-day weekly average. A ratio of 1.5 or higher counts as rising; 0.5 or lower counts as declining. A topic must appear in at least 20 Tier A or B episodes in the last 7 days to be scored — below that, weekly ratios are too noisy.

Topics come from a per-episode extraction pipeline that normalises the tags into 3-7 lowercase noun phrases. Generic tags like “business” and “growth” are filtered out of the ranking.
