Notes from podcasts - how do you take action?

Similar to many of you, I am a long time listener of @csallen on the podcast. I've tried many different methods of taking notes from the interviews, including different podcast players - however, I have yet to find a non-disruptive way to take notes that I can followup on later. How do you solve this problem? I wanted to see if I am missing a solution that is already on the market - Thanks!

    We've built an app that lets you do exactly that. I'd love for you to try it and let me know what you think.

    Parrot lets you save a clip with one tap as you're listening. You can then choose to add a comment/note and change the length if you want (we do the last 30 seconds by default).

      Thanks - tried it out today. The clip save works as expected and the discovery feed is an interesting idea. I'd like to see how the clipping works in my normal everyday listening, however the audio at 1.5x was choppy, so I found myself switching back to my normal player. Keep it up!

        Thanks for the feedback. We're definitely making improvements so take a look again soon :) Thanks for trying it out.

      One suggestion: perhaps the website can show the app in action, like a short video with screen recording showing how it works or a gif. Just a though.

        For sure. That could definitely be helpful. I'll see what I can do :)

      Any plans to do an Android app?

        For sure. I'm an Android user myself. Right now we're trying to validate a lot of things and doing it in the iOS app seems like the fastest way to do it. I'm itching to have it myself on Android though so we'll do it as fast as possible.
        Web is coming soon too.

      Will give it a try

    Sometimes what I do when I hear a great piece of advice is screen shot the podcast showing how far in it was said and then go back to that time in the future!

      Hey @corben775 I wonder what you'd think about trying out this same thing with our new app.
