Hey Hunters! ๐Ÿ˜ฝ๐Ÿ˜ฝ๐Ÿ˜ฝ As a startup marketer always striving to stay on top of the trend, getting through my articles has always been a daunting challenge. Since I've been using Recast, though, my life has changed! It's like having my personal podcast team summarize all my tech articles and newsletters into short, engaging conversations. ๐ŸŽง Stoked to have played a small part in Recast's first PH launch, and a big kudos to the Recast team for creating something truly game-changing! ๐Ÿ‘

Comment highlights

I used to be an avid user of Umano (RIP), an app that paid voice actors to read news articles and blog posts. That was almost a decade ago and ofc the tech to generate high-quality, humanlike narration has improved a ton. Recast doesn't rely on people and can narrate any article. It's definitely worth a try. :) Side note: Instagram cofounders are also exploring audio narration features with Artifact. I'm very interested to see if it becomes a core focus for them or more of a side feature.
I love the selection of recasts I get every morning. I listen to 5 or 6 while starting my day and feel as enriched as if I had spent 10 times as long reading.
Guilty of having a loooong read-later list that takes literally years before I get to it ๐Ÿ˜‚ podcast format is much easier to consume
Well done to the entire RECAST TEAM ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ This is an amazing product! Canโ€™t wait to see how the product continues to evolve!
Oh damn, this is amazing and super relatable. Do you get to choose the voices that the content is being narrated to you?
This sounds like a game-changer for busy individuals! Love the idea of turning articles into podcasts. ๐ŸŽง How has this app impacted your daily learning routine?
Omg, this is the best product I have come across! I was always a movie person when someone asks "Books or Movies" because I don't like to read ๐Ÿ˜…. And I think this is the best thing I have came across. Congratulation ๐Ÿฅณ on the launch team and making my life easy ๐Ÿ˜.
