My plugin Podcast Note for the note taking app Obsidian is a great way to write notes on podcasts. With a single URL you will get the title, image and description of your podcast. Using a custom template you can style the note to your likings. More settings and features will be explained further down.
You can find it in the official community plugins list right in Obsidian or on GitHub.
You can add new podcast notes by opening the command pallete (cmd + p) and searching for "Podcast Note" commands:
A prompt will open where you can enter the URL for the podcast you want to take notes on. Of course you can also specify a keyboard shortcut to trigger the prompt.
This command will only be visible in editor mode. Make sure you have text selected which contains markdown links to podcast episodes. Running the command will create new podcast notes for every url in the selected text. It will also automatically link these notes.
So far these podcast services are supported:
Here you can specify how the metadata for your podcast notes looks like. Use these three placeholders:
---
tags: [Podcast]
date: {{Date}}
---
# {{Title}}

## Description:
> {{Description}}
-> [Podcast Link]({{PodcastURL}})
## Notes:
Specify whether the podcast note will be inserted at your cursor or whether a new note will be added. You can also use a template for the filename. Placeholders:
Set the folder where new Podcast notes will be saved. The path is relative to your vault. For example folder/podcast_folder will become path/to/vault/folder/podcastfolder.
Specify whether you want to create a new note or whether you want the metadata to be inserted at your cursor.
