When that happens, how can you be sure that it is something you heard on a podcast? Maybe it was something you heard in a YouTube video. Or read in a Medium post.

That's probably true. I guess we have to start somewhere. I do agree with thimm I often reference a podcast but forgot which one. Being able to query the exact time a topic is discussed in a podcast does sound valuable.

Do you know of a solution that aims to solve this problem?

If its something read in a post on the internet then its usually easy enough to find by typing the parts you remember into google. But I agree, I have occasionally wished that youtube made the closed captions of youtube videos searchable for this reason.

Time for YT to up their caption game.
