Hey there Product Hunt!

On behalf of the Headliner Team, I am proud to announce our latest and greatest tool. Introducing 🥁🥁🥁 TL;DL (Beta) by Headliner.

We built TL;DL by Headliner for people who love podcasts—but don’t always have time to listen. Hence the name!

With TL;DL, you choose the shows you want to hear and set how much time you have. From there, TL;DL will get to work using our ✨semantic compression algorithm ✨to blend real audio clips with AI narration to create customized, one-of-a-kind listening experiences designed to fit your busy day. TL;DL is a faster, smarter way to listen podcasts—whether you're trying to keep up with your favorite shows or discover new ones on your terms.

It works like this:

🎧 Pick 1-5 episode(s)
⏱️ Set how long you want to listen (5, 10, 15 min)
🧠 Get a custom summary with real clips + smart narration
➡️ Like what you hear? Listen to the real deals in 1 click.

And for podcasters, TL;DL is a great way to make your show easier to follow and easier to find. It works kind of like a trailer—giving listeners a quick way to check out your show and keep up with new episodes, even when they don’t have time for the full thing.

We’d love your feedback, feature ideas, and support! Drop love, questions, comments, and suggestions down below.

Happy listening,
- Team Headliner

Super interesting to think that people will be able to curate their own experience from the same event depending on the algo. Curious to see where this entire space goes!

Before login, you should provide something that people use and login later on.

Never know that you can summarize the podcast. An insightful idea. Congrats!

this is awesome. can you make a podcast out of all of my podcasts that can play on spotify? pleaseeeee

Really love this idea. I’m always saving podcast episodes but never get through them all — this makes it so much easier to catch the important parts without the overwhelm. Excited to see how it evolves! ❤

I've started to use Headliner for a while I can't listen to the full podcasts and want to get a summary of the podcast conversations and in that situation, it helps me a lot!

TL;DL is brilliant! I can catch up on podcasts without committing hours. It's like having a super-efficient podcast editor.

Does it apply only to podcasts, or is it possible to pick a video cast from YouTube?
