thanks and agreed! we see a massive distrust in traditional legacy media, and hopefully PodSnacks can give readers more control about how they access those voices.

perhaps gemini will native work with YouTube much better than we could.

at the moment no, but perhaps you'll enjoy podscan.fm

currently a single prompt.

will add search to discover. thanks for the comment.

yep. won't go into each cost, but it's primarily:

1) transcription (Assembly) 2) summarization (Claude) 3) podcast database (listennotes) 4) emails (postmark) 5) application hosting (render)

PodSnacks (https://podsnacks.org) — Personalized AI summaries of top podcasts, delivered to your inbox.

I've been building PodSnacks because I found it overwhelming to keep up with podcasts across tech, business, and science. PodSnacks uses LLMs to summarize the most popular episodes from shows like Lex Fridman, Acquired, All-In, Invest Like the Best, and more.

You choose your favorite shows, and we email you short, high-signal summaries — no audio to skim through, no endless backlog guilt.

So far:

126K+ episode summaries generated 92K+ hours of podcasts processed 48–50% open rates 2,900+ early users

Still iterating and adding features like bundling by theme, language translations, and audio feeds.

If you're the kind of person who wants more inputs without more noise — would love for you to check it out.

Always open to feedback from HN!

have been a long Time reader of HN and product developer. replit is amazing and finally the AI allowed me to build products that I could only sketch. Just wanted to share!

dang it. www.podsnacks.org.

Built something similar for podcasts

https://www.podsnacks.org/

There is an API called listennotes for podcast data including audio file. Download and run it through a speech ai model.

Trust in news orgs is at an all time low. And news orgs (Wapo, Buzzfeed, CNN) will need to figure out their strategy in AI. Snacks Media (Podcasts, News, Events, etc) will leverage tech to build an AI News Company. The plan will be to allow anyone to even bring their own LLM—right now it’s Claude because that’s where we first got developer access.

Monetization is $1/hr for summaries. And we’ll include ads at scale.

Happy to answer any other questions.

Just added an export to csv of trips. Will be live tonight/tomorrow.

At the moment no, but on the road map.

Import: Nomadlist, Google Maps places, Airbnb stays, Foursquare/Swarm checkins and lists.

Export: Trips to excel.

Anything specific you’d like to see?

Thanks! I would have said the same pre TikTok so we’ll see! Appreciate it :)

YC was very early to climatetech with a RFS for water back in 2017.

Most people don't equate watertech with climatetech, but climate change is primarily a water crisis—flood & drought—and we need more entrepreneurs in watertech.

If you are building something in watertech, ping me, I'm happy to help.

I can hear "Sosumi" while clicking around :)

"Sosumi is an alert sound introduced by Jim Reekes in Apple Inc.'s Macintosh System 7 operating system in 1991. The name is derived from the phrase "so, sue me!" because of a long running court battle with Apple Corps, the similarly named music company, regarding the use of music in Apple Inc.'s computer products."

You don't. Pick the right startup to work for. Employee #100 at Facebook made a lot more than most startup founders ever did.

Understood and I appreciate your time.

Wishing you my best with Headlamp!

Re: Hiding author name, understood on the nitpick. Hopefully more snack makers soon...and a great name for people writing the PodSnacks!

Re: Feature Request, we tried that in this post 1) 1:46:55 https://www.podsnacks.org/xy-the-real-story-about-covid-vacc... 2) 24:11 https://www.podsnacks.org/-inequality-and-revolution/

Is that what you had in mind?

We've also been thinking about an audio product, like a 5-minute digest, so thank you for the validation / feedback!

Maybe. I think Atmospheric Water Generators are much More likely to change the game since they don’t need a body of water other than the atmosphere.

This is the HN I’m here for. Brilliant.

Plant medicine was transformational for me to closing one chapter and opening the next.

Forming new neurological pathways was a significant way of creating new memories which allowed me to move on much easier.

Godspeed on your journey.

Just watched Tick, Tick … Boom on Netflix. The role of mentorship is incredibly important for young aspiring talent. May Stephen’s memory be a blessing.
