I ran into Podz a couple days ago and I am in love with the 60 second highlights. The AI is magical and really makes me think there is a small group of pod elves behind the scenes picking the best 60 seconds from a podcast. I have a podcast as well and can't wait for my show to be on the platform so I can provide more feedback from that perspective.
As a listener, the 60 second highlights really give you an overall sense of the topic you are diving into. This is great for News, Politics, Crypto, and Tech. The user experience so far has been great and super intuitive. It's the small things that make me fall in love with a product's design and I love how if you click anywhere on the current pod, the play/pause icon will show there. However, I did find myself trying to double click in this area to quickly like a pod.
?makers What is next for Podz? Are there plans for this to also be more of a one stop shop for listening to podcasts? I would love the ability to follow shows and track episodes I've listened to.
