Hey everyone

I just launched Shortcast AI — it turns any podcast into a short, high-quality summary in real human voices.

Most summaries are under 2 minutes, capturing key insights without losing tone or context. I built it because I love podcasts but rarely have time to finish full episodes.

Would love your feedback — especially on:

• The quality and naturalness of the voices

• How well the summaries capture the main ideas

You can try it here → https://shortcast.me

Happy to chat about the tech (summarization pipeline, TTS voices, ...).

I actually love this idea since listening to so many podcasts already!

Congrats! Seems like something I could listen during running.
