A method, comprising:

• retrieving, from a database, a text that corresponds to audio from a media content item that is provided by a media providing service, the text comprising a plurality of segments;
• determining, by applying the text to a trained language model, whether each segment in the text is topical or non-topical relative to a narrative of the media content item;

An electronic device associated with a media providing service, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• memory storing one or more programs, the one or more programs including instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors, cause the electronic device to perform a set of operations, comprising:
• retrieving, from a database, a text that corresponds to audio from a media content item that is provided by a media providing service, the text comprising a plurality of segments;
• determining, by applying the text to a trained language model, whether each segment in the text is topical or non-topical relative to a narrative of the media content item;
• identifying a position within the text that changes from topical to non-topical, wherein two consecutive segments;
• identifying a non-narrative portion within the text using the identified position;
• and
• using the identification of the non-narrative portions, providing the media content item to a user as a recommendation.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured for execution by an electronic device associated with a media providing service, the electronic device having one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors, cause the electronic device to perform a set of operations, comprising:

• retrieving, from a database, a text that corresponds to audio from a media content item that is provided by a media providing service, the text comprising a plurality of segments;
• determining, by applying the text to a trained language model, whether each segment in the text is topical or non-topical relative to a narrative of the media content item;
• identifying a position within the text that changes from topical to non-topical, wherein two consecutive segments;
• identifying a non-narrative portion within the text using the identified position;
• and
• using the identification of the non-narrative portions, providing a description of the media content item to a user.
