Really cool idea, bookmarked! Just out of curiosity, how do you get the transcripts of the podcasts, is there a public API? I understand that I might be asking for the secret sauce, so I understand if you don't answer on this :)

There is an API called listennotes for podcast data including audio file. Download and run it through a speech ai model.

Interesting! Can you elaborate on what the longer term vision is? Monetizing? Access? Allowing for integration in other tools?

Trust in news orgs is at an all time low. And news orgs (Wapo, Buzzfeed, CNN) will need to figure out their strategy in AI. Snacks Media (Podcasts, News, Events, etc) will leverage tech to build an AI News Company. The plan will be to allow anyone to even bring their own LLM—right now it’s Claude because that’s where we first got developer access.

Monetization is $1/hr for summaries. And we’ll include ads at scale.

Happy to answer any other questions.
