podEssence
Hear only the best parts of podcasts, in original voice
Podcasts are incredible. But the average episode is 60–90 minutes long, and a huge chunk of it is intros, ads, tangents, and banter. So most people either give up on podcasts or feel guilty about their ever-growing backlog. What PodEssence does: PodEssence uses AI to extract only the genuinely valuable segments ⚡Get the best 20 min highlights of a 90-min episode, played in Original Voice. 📋 Your backlog, finally manageable 🕐 Save several hours per week !
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.
