Capture Podcast Notes with Podcast Magic

Just yesterday I was lamenting that I can no longer use PodHighligher, a service that will let you, “capture highlights from your podcasts in Overcast and sync them with Readwise, email, and more.”

I no longer use Readwise, and use a bunch of podcasting apps. My current daily driver is Pocket Casts.

Today, thanks to Podnews, I came across an incredible app called Podcast Magic that will let you just email a screenshot to them. They email you back a transcript and audio clip.

I tried it and it worked like gangbusters. You can get unlimited* moments for just $20, and it was the easiest $20 I’ve ever spent.

It’s from the makers of Sublime App. They reached out to me earlier this year and offered a free early adopter account. I haven’t given it a fair shake, but I will now…especially since I moved on from Readwise. It looks really great.

And the best part is while they claim it only works with Spotify and Apple Podcasts, I found it also works with Pocket Casts AND Overcast.

*The unlimited Caveat is you get 1,000 and they reserve the right to charge you after that. But like…1,000 is a lot.

It’s an immense undertaking, so I decided to seek community support through sponsors and crowdfunding. We’re 3 weeks into September and I’m nearly 2/3 of the way to my crowdfunding goal which is exciting! I thought I’d take some time here and explain how I built the site.

    Why the WordPress.com / Spotify Deal is Bad for Podcasting

    Imagine telling Gordon Ramsay that he cooked dinner last night…why not just serve the leftovers to his customers today? While I’m no Michelin chef, I do create a lot of content. And you can’t just throw the left overs out there and expect the same quality content. So why are WordPress.com and Spotify telling us to do that?

    Why Descript Buying SquadCast is Great for Podcasters

    Descript made a big splash on Tuesday by announcing they acquired the popular remote recording service, SquadCast. Something I couldn’t stop thinking about after Riverside, SquadCast’s biggest competitor, launched edit via transcripts is how it felt like they’re trying to eat Descript’s lunch. After all, Descript has made a name for itself as the easiest…

  • Testing a post-roll Ad for my newsletter

    I’ve been thinking a lot about podcast calls to action lately. I even talked about it on my new daily podcast, Podcast Workflows. Increasingly, I feel my stance on a pre-roll CTA, before you deliver any value, is bad. It’s like asking for the sale before someone knows who you are. It’s like asking blind…
