The fastest way to consume the important moments of a podcast

I recently listened to an Indie Hacker podcast where @csallen interviewed @Robert_James_Gabriel about his experience building Helperbird.

It was an amazing listen with so many helpful details. When I completed it I wanted to relieve some of the moments that resonated with me but didn't have an easy way to get back to those moments.

So I decided to replay the whole podcast but this time I would use my tool Scribbl.co to record and add tags to the podcast. This was not what we built the tool for but I was curious to see what would come of it.

What I ended up with is a transcript and recording of the podcast that can be filtered by questions asked. This allows you to select the question that you care about and quickly listen to the response. Check it out.

How does it work... filter by tag... press play on the first card and it will play continuously until it reaches the last card in the response.

My question to you is... is this at all valuable? If yes... why?

Disclaimer: Transcript quality was off because our machine is trained on American accents. The audio is what is important any way. lol
