Podsift

Podsift sends free AI-generated summaries of startup podcasts straight to your inbox. You pick from more than 90 shows, verify your email, and get a concise write-up each time a new episode drops. The whole thing is built around a five-minute daily read instead of hours of listening.

Founders Santiago and Jon built Podsift as a side project after hitting the same wall many podcast fans do: too many great shows and not enough time. They filter summaries for real value before anything goes out, and you can browse past summaries or sample previews before signing up.

Account management stays simple. After signup you choose your podcasts, adjust preferences from the manage page, and summaries arrive automatically when new episodes release.
