List trending podcast guests

Surfaces guests who are currently making the podcast rounds — the kind of cross-show interview activity that signals a book launch, product unveil, news-cycle moment, or new-on-the-scene debut. Each row is a guest whose recent activity is materially elevated above their own historical baseline AND who has appeared on multiple distinct podcasts inside the window with substantive (5+ minute) interviews. Filter by recency window, topic, brand-safety tier, and an optional first-appearance cutoff to find people new to the scene. This is not a leaderboard of perennial podcast regulars, recurring co-hosts, or daily news-segment contributors — those are filtered out by design; use /v1/podcasts/guests for a steady-state directory.
