I'm addicted to this app! Thanks Overlap team for building a product like this. I've discovered some podcasts I didn't know existed and it's been great listening to my favorite podcasts without having to deal with ads and filler content. The perfect app for a morning walk.

I've been using Overlap for two weeks and my podcast consumption has gone way up! Being able to listen to different perspectives on the same technical topic is a fun way to learn. Great job guys (I need more Crossfit content!).

Hi @garrytan! Congratulations on launching =) How do you manage podcast author's rights? Do you buy content?

@garrytan @ivan_ilin Hey Ivan! Thanks for checking out the product. We have deals with a lot of the podcasters on the app and also use short form video to drive our users to the podcasters' RSS feeds

Overlap sounds like great solution for podcast lovers. I love the idea of curated clips replacing full episodes; it makes consuming content so much easier.Quick question: How does the AI determine which clips are featured, and can users their favorite moments?
Buzz Rubenstein
@new_user__330202361305144c07d45c0 It's a really good question. During onboarding, you'd select your interests, import podcasts you follow (if any) and then go through a Tinder-esque module where you swipe left or right on a number of clips. Your interactions with those clips are super helpful in determining which clips would make their way onto your feed.
