A new episode goes out
We pick it up from the feed and a model reads the full transcript, every minute of it, not the show notes.

The summary is waiting
We check every show twice a day, so it's in your inbox by the next one. The argument, the ideas, the open questions, two minutes to read.
Three parts. None of them filler.
A model reads the full transcript — not the episode description — and writes the same three sections every time, so you always know where to look.
The argument, in one line
What the episode is actually claiming — before the overview, so you can stop reading here if it isn't for you.
The interesting ideas
Usually five. Each one is a claim with its reasoning, not a topic heading — the part you'd have taken notes on.
Worth thinking about
Open questions the episode raises and doesn't settle. The reason to keep the email rather than archive it.
Questions
How many emails will I get?
One per episode. We check every show you track twice a day and email you about anything new at the next check. If nothing publishes, you get nothing.
Do I need a podcast app?
No. Every episode links straight to the episode page and the audio, so you can listen wherever you normally do — the summary just tells you whether it's worth your time first.
Which podcasts can I track?
A small, hand-picked list today. It's not a universal podcast search yet — we'd rather summarise a few shows well than index two million badly.
Where do the summaries come from?
A model reads the full episode transcript and writes the argument in one line, five or so of the most interesting ideas, and a few open questions worth thinking about.
Is it free?
Yes, for now, while it's in early access.
Will this spam my inbox?
No. One email per episode, nothing else — no marketing, no recommendations — and unsubscribing is one click.
