Snipd | AI Podcast Player

Stories have an arc, and summarizing podcasts into a list of bullet points doesn’t make an interesting story. Summarizing a 30 minute podcast into a 4 minute podcast is something I might be interested in if I’m prepping for a test on the podcast, but I’m not. I’m listening to the podcast in the background while gardening, cooking, working, playing a video game… the idea that the DJ has saved me 26 minutes assumes my brain is capable of making sense of and retaining facts outside the context of their underlying story. Not only does this approach make the podcast incomprehensible, it’s also just very boring. Despite my negative review I do believe there is a general direction this app is headed in that is very interesting. I imagine this being used to assemble views from multiple podcasts. I could see this being incredible for news, where info is already bite-sized. I could see this being my new way to consume podcasts with some improvements Some things I’d like to see - 1. I immediately disabled the Snipd sound because it was very distracting. Instead, use the existing podcast’s jingle as the audible anchor between stories. 2. Give me a slider similar to playback speed to tune how deep I want the DJ to go so I can change the summary level minute by minute. 3. DJs are known for gracefully fading tracks from different albums. Use the DJ to crossfade similar topics from multiple podcasts 4. Discover mode - Add an option to Crossfade snips from podcasts I’m not subscribed to, with obvious options to subscribe/block podcasts in the feature Thanks!!

that’s how podcast application like Apple podcast should look like it’s my number one application on iPhone
