Podstack plays your podcasts. It also takes any article and reads it to you, so the things you meant to read turn into something you can listen to on a walk.
Podstack listens to an episode before you do and cuts the ad reads out of the audio, so the episode starts where the show starts. The sponsors are still named on the episode, in words, so the people who paid for it still get their mention. Nothing is hidden from you: the episode says how much came out.
Point Podstack at a newsletter, a blog or a paper and it turns each new piece into an episode in a voice that is easy to listen to. They arrive in your library beside the shows, with the same speed control, the same sleep timer and the same place-you-stopped on every device.
Podstack was built by somebody who reads at very large text, so it works at very large text: the buttons are big, the words never clip, and nothing is told to you in colour alone.
Podstack is invite only, so there is no sign-up button. Leave an address and Greg will send you one when there is room. Nothing else is done with it.
