LISN is a platform that shortens podcasts into clips and organizes them into playlists based on topics, with a focus on diverse perspectives.
Hey everyone! 👋🏾
We’ve created LISN to make it easy for anyone to consume more diverse opinions on the topics they’re interested in.
Have you ever heard a conversation during a podcast that really piqued your interest and as soon as you wanted to hear more the hosts start discussing something else? Or have you ever wanted to learn about a specific topic but wanted multiple different perspectives on it? Well, that’s exactly where LISN comes in.
LISN uses AI and user-generated podcast clips to curate the best moments from different podcasts into topic-based playlists, what we like to call Conversations! We pull together different creators and their perspectives so you can form a better understanding of the things you care about. Things like...
What are the benefits of CBD?
How can we live more sustainably?
Are the Boston Celtics winning the NBA Championship or exiting in the first round?
How does Universal Basic Income benefit a country?
Listen to every angle of these issues with podcast playlists.
But don’t stop there. Anyone can create a clip from a podcast to save for later or send to a friend. You can even create and share your own podcast Conversation based on any topic you want.
LISN’s available on both iOS and Android!
A huge shoutout to @robjama for hunting for us! 🙏🏾

@robjama @zameer_masjedee Nice!! congrats on the launch. I would say we are in the media space but trying to tackle a different problem. Https://etha.one
I would check it out and maybe, if you are interested, we could partner in some way to share values! I love the idea and the problem that it's solving! CONGRATS!

Absolute game changer for podcasts listening. I love making clips to share with friends or just to have for myself to listen to later. I’ve stumbled upon many new podcasts and creators by listening to clips or conversations made by others as well. I also really like that I can create clips using text created so it’s easy to find where I want my clip to start and end. And can we also just appreciate the beauty and aesthetic of the app? Well done LISN!!

@tashmoney Thanks for checking us out, glad you enjoy sending clips to your friends. That was one of the original ideas being LISN. Sharing your favourite moments.

Been using this app for a while now! These folks are really onto something. The best part is that the clip playlists (what they're calling "conversations") only get better the more users that are on the platform. So this product hunt launch better go crazy!

Alright let's start with the basics. All podcasts have moved to the long format, we are talking hours of content per episode. Most podcasts have also moved to the conversational format. This means that the most popular podcasts in the world cover a ton of topics in each episode.
Think of the experience when you are listening to a podcast and a specific segment of it stands out to you. You have talked about this exact topic with your friend and want to share the perspective you just heard with them.
How would you do that today? 'Hey man, go to the All In Podcast, minute 12:35 and listen for 8 min 30 seconds and let me know what you think?' that's table stake for LISN, it makes it super simple to create these clips amongst a ton of noise in each podcast episode and share it with friends and start a conversation.
This is where it gets really exciting. I often listen to these podcasts and I hear an opinion that peaks my interest. But my next immediate thought is what do others think, who is a respected individual in this field who thinks the opposite. That's where the curated playlist and the AI playlist come in. This means you can create your own playlist or you can hear different perspectives on certain topics automatically.
So think of that experience. You get sent a clip on a certain topic. (It can be whatever, was Will right in slapping Chris, or it could be something about inflation that the All in besties are discussing) you then get an automatic curated playlist of diverse opinions on that topic. No more echo chamber of what you exactly want to hear.
I think LISN has a chance to change how we consume media. I am rooting for this team.

@paiman_parmaei "I hear an opinion that peaks my interest. But my next immediate thought is what do others think, who is a respected individual in this field who thinks the opposite." Such a great way to go about consuming content! And we believe more people will be looking for this format and level of convenience in the future which is one of the main drivers behind our Conversations feature.
Appreciate your support Paiman!

Congrats on the launch @zameer_masjedee! What was your inspiration for creating this? What are the biggest differences today's version vs. the original?

@samdebrule Hey Sam! We’ve been avid podcast fans for a number of years and always had various frustrations with the options we could get our hands on. It was tough to find great new creators to listen to and sharing content with friends usually meant they never opened that 1 hour episode you’d send them.
With LISN we wanted to build a platform that didn’t force you to first figure out what show to jump into, but instead could give you content for whatever topic you’re interested in. Even if you have no idea which creators talk about that space. We’ve found users appreciate this format as it ends up helping them find new creators after they’ve already had a chance to listen to some clips from their show. Helping those creators simultaneously grow their audience!

LISN has been such a game changer in how I listen to podcasts. Now I can clip and save segments I care about to listen to again in the future. I used to listen to podcasts and forget everything I'd hear. Not anymore thanks to LISN.

@reaganbradley Thanks Reagan. I have a pretty bad memory so I need to LISN to things multiple times before I internalize them. That's why shorter clips really help me. Glad you like it!

I love how LISN lets you bookmark your favourite moments. This way I can always go back and see what parts I liked in a certain podcast! Very helpful!!

@jess_b57 Thanks Jessica! It's so easy to lose some of those great moments that you stumble across in an episode. Love to hear bookmarks makes that easier for you 🙌🏽
