Love the idea. makes a lot of sense some podcast episode that are 2h long.

Shortcasts is a fascinating direction for Blinkist... I already listen to most podcasts at 2x because there's so much good content out there. As a result, more podcasts are getting shorter, like Axios Recap, Recode Daily, and Techmeme Ride Home with their ~15m episodes... but no one's summarizing other podcasts yet! I'm really curious to see whether this idea will succeed, and if they'll add more shows to the list: - Malcolm Gladwell’s Revisionist History - Natalie Lue’s The Baggage Reclaim Sessions - Nico Rosberg’s Beyond Victory - Dr. Laurie Santos’ The Happiness Lab - Farnoosh Torabi’s So Money - Erik Fisher’s Beyond the To-Do List - Omar Zenhom’s The $100 MBA Show - Dr. Rupy Aujla’s The Doctor’s Kitchen - Blinkist’s Simplify

There is a lot of work to do in this pidcast world. Even this one fascinates me.

Is this podcast only available for people who pay for Blinkist? I can't find it in the Pocket Casts directory.

Thank you for introducing country based pricing, what's the price parity API you used?

This is really fascinating. Everyone is a potential client for this service, it seems to me, as podcasts become easier to publish and more approachable as a concept for creators. In my modest opinion, podcasts are the future of so many different kinds of expression. For example, a self proclaimed poet - like myself - can just start a podcast rather than going through the trouble of publishing. Kudos to you guys!
