Survey for podcasters, on new product concept

Hi all, my little startup has been working on a product which helps the podcasting experience, for both podcasters and their listeners, by providing a ‘memory’ app (and service) for information discussed during the podcasts.

For example, you’re listening to a podcast and the host talks about a book, a Medium article, another podcast, and a website - by the time your commute is over, and you’ve finished the podcast, you’ve forgotten all the details, and wish you would have a way to go back and explore those ‘memorized’ links once you get to your laptop or on your phone. That’s the problem we are looking to solve.

If you have a few minutes, we would very much appreciate your input on this survey. Thanks!

    Done. Good luck with your venture

    Interesting. For reference, you should stay aware of the work EX-IQ is doing with their podcast player, Notecast. It's designed for the listener who wants to actively learn while digesting podcasts. https://www.notecast.app/

    How does this work?

    1. 1

      Still working out the concept, but there would be explicit referencing by the podcast author, who adds time-synced links/metadata via a tool we build (or can be inserted via API by podcast editors); or implicit referencing via text extraction on the transcript.

      Then all the metadata goes into a knowledge graph which can be queried by any podcast player, or used by a separate app we build with an Instagram-like feed.

      We have big chunks of this already built, as a general platform, but looking to validate viability of this specific concept.
