Show HN: Podsift: Summaries of Startup/Investing/Technology Podcasts

by sgonz on 12/7/23, 10:05 PM with 1 comments

If you're like me, you are obsessed with consuming startup, tech, business, and venture capital podcasts. However, there are too many good ones to make sense of it all.

Podsift ( https://podsift.com ) is a service that uses AI to transcribe and summarize podcast episodes and sends the summaries to your email inbox. Every time a new pod is released, you receive an audio summary as well as a written summary. You can forward it to a friend and it links right to the pod.

I've found these summaries useful for:

- getting a detailed overview of the episode before deciding if I want to listen to it.

- to stay on top of podcasts I don't have time to listen to.

- as notes of episodes I have listened to that I can reference later on.

Also, we're looking for the crème de la crème of finance, investing, venture capital, and startup podcasts to add to the service. If you know of any that are not currently listed, please post them below!

Hope you find it useful! Thanks!

    I've seen a few of these online, this seems to be the most comprehensive out there.

    A couple of questions: - How did you build the model to ensure accurate summaries? - How did you build the audio version? - What's your tech stack?
