"But that also feels clunky." Can you tell me what feels clunky about the Overcast process?

Have you tried Jumper? https://www.jumper.fm/


Thanks, I’ll look into Jumper!

On Overcast: it works, but I find that I spend more time trying to trim the clip than anything else. Probably takes me at least 5 minutes to get the 1-minute clip right. Maybe that’s just a normal and expected amount of effort.

But I think the larger point is it doesn’t surface the information well. I doubt many people ever listen to even the short clip. I’m thinking of a sharable speech-to-text clipper, or something.


Gotcha, yeah that make sense. I like Jumper cause it does a good job of curating the best moments from podcasts in clips form for you. But when you create your own clip its kinda the same process as Overcast from what I've seen.


Encrypted proxy and Tor based search engines are popping up with solid masking technology. Torry.io is my preferred proxy over StartPage. StartPage proxy is operated by an adtech firm


I thought this was a fun use case for Matterport. Could be really cool if this eventually gets combined with the Apple headset getting launched.
