Seems like a hell of a way to keep up with the deluge of fantastic content being put out in podcasts these days.

Hi Everyone, I am Kirill and I am the maker of Smash Notes. The goal is very simple - What if you could unlock all the knowledge in the 30 million+ estimated podcasts episodes that exist in the world today? Smash Notes gives you that ability. We unlock a lifetime of long-form audio content, and assemble insights on any subject, just for you. Smash started as a side project, but it quickly became obvious to me that so many more podcast hosts and listeners could benefit from sharing this platform. With just a click you can now learn about Justin Kan’s startup journey, and contrast and compare that with Ryan Hoover’s lessons from Product Hunt, get a peek at what Don Valentine of Sequoia thinks of Facebook, and see Paul Graham's thoughts of VCs and Y Combinator back in 2009. Podcasts hold an enormous amount of insights, but unless we unlock them, and make them discoverable, most of this amazing information will not be found. But you can help! If you share Smash Notes with your favorite podcaster, and encourage your friends to join in, we can all expand our knowledge and elevate so many new podcasts to greatness! Together, we can create a medium that make any long-form content, snackable, sharable, and thus accessible around the world. Let's talk about this. ps. Huge thanks for @kevin for hunting Smash. You rock!

Love this. It's a smart way to lead with questions. It almost feels like Quora with audio. How do you transcribe this volume of podcasts?

@kaigradert Thanks Kai! Indeed, the goal is to be Quora-like and be able to answer any questions with a bit of audio, and sometimes, multiple audios from different podcasts. For example, see how on this episode Chamath talks about Silicon Valley being a ponzi scheme? Having access to other podcasts we can immediately link it with Bryce Roberts explaining a similar concept on another podcast. It's magic, and it only gets better with time! https://smashnotes.com/p/recode-...

@kaigradert Oh, and to answer your question, Amazon, they have a rather complex, but also versatile podcasting service. Took a while to figure it out and to set up, but now every episode takes about 10-20 minutes, depending on lengths.
