One of our First Round companies, Recast, is launching here today.
https://www.producthunt.com/post...
The Recast app turns articles into bite-size audio convos w/AI so you can “read more” without reading ✨. It’s great for powering through read-later backlogs, and the app has thousands already recasted to browse.
In honor of this, I want your help to fill up my Recast queue: what great pieces have you all read lately—or meant to read, but not found the time for?
Drop a link to any article/blog/essay below and the team will reply with a converted Recast. I’ll go first! Here are recasts of two recent top First Round review pieces.

This is one of my favorite articles somebody submitted today: "Young People Have No Idea What We Used to Do After Work. Let Me Regale You." from Slate https://app.letsrecast.ai/r/d07d...

If we find a way to integrate Recast with popular content bookmarking and written content sources, the value of Recast would be even greater.
For example, funnelling:
- Pocket.com, readwise, and other bookmarked content into Recast
- Substacks and Beehivs newsletters directly into Recast
- PDFs and Amazon ebooks into Recast
- And even long threads from Slack, MS Teams, and even slide decks into Recast
Sky's the limit! :)
We also have a lot of recasts already in the app to browse and enjoy. And to learn new things. For example, do you know why cats purr??
After this recast you do:

For the studious bunch like me who prioritize productivity, the ASUS ROG Strix Z590-E is a game-changer.

It is a form of communication and expression that involves comprehensive https://washingtoncitypaper.com/... research, critical analysis, and the systematic organization of information.
