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.

    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?

    My Travel Recording Setup (2025)

    I was watching Friends last night (something I often do) and started thinking about the recording technology of the mid to late 90s. It occurred to me that my iPhone is more powerful than at least some of the cameras featured in the show. It also got me thinking that post-pandemic, travel recording has gotten…

  • What is the Best CTA for Podcasts?

    What’s the balance between offering choice and getting people to take action? That really depends on the medium. In podcasts, for example, you may notice podcasts have a ton of calls to action (CTAs). Maybe you do. I have at times. Is that really the right route? And if not, what should your podcast’s CTA be? Let’s explore.
