Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm the solo dev behind PodEssence.

You know that feeling when you open Spotify and see 47 unplayed episodes staring back at you?

That's what broke me.

I love Huberman, Rogan — but a 3-hour Joe Rogan episode isn't something I can just sit down and finish, it's too long for me. But somewhere down in my heart, I felt that I am missing out on some real good stuff by not listening to such knowledge heavy podcasts.

So I built PodEssence.

PodEssence extracts the best 20 minutes of real insight buried inside 90 minutes of audio with seamless playback in the Original Voice. No skimming. No guilt.


I have one question for you:
Which podcast do you wish had a "highlights" version? Drop it below — I will prioritize channels based on demand, and I read every reply. 🎧

Apple App Store & Google Play Store links are in the listing above. Would mean the world if you gave it a try today.
