Fama let's you listen to email newsletters while you're commuting, working out, or doing anything, really. Just like audiobooks! Works with usual podcast apps. No need to install anything new!

Great idea! Really useful tool! Do you have some feature to sort important things from notifications (like Jira) and promos?

@vadim_shcherbakov - hi Vadym, thank you! :) I'm not sure I understand, you mean you'd want to get a quick audio summary of most important notifications from the tools you use?

@dragocrnjac yes! I have the same email both for the Jira feed and for important emails. And it would be great to have such a tool, that would play me only important ones.

I love this concept. I'm so excited to try this. I'm not techie though... QUESTION (after watching that 40 sec video): what am I adding exactly in my podcast setting? Is it the email's address? i.e I subscribe to Mass Unemployment Newsletter. I copied the addr from the FROM field in my email, which is: donotreply@mass.gov. I got "unable to follow - podcast cannot be added because the server or feed cannot be found." I then went to the actual site and copied their site url and pasted in the podcast - Edit/Show - that didn't work either by URL Maybe it would be helpful to state what URL are we supposed to add.

I like this idea but I have a billion news-letters I receive every week, will I able to choose the ones that I want?

Hey everyone, Drago here! I'm a software engineer at @sparkloophq, ex @intercom. Fama is a kinda scratch-your-own-itch type of project. I was spending a lot of time reading email newsletters. I also listen to podcasts (shout out to @arvidkahl, @robwalling, and @tim1), so I thought "Damn, it would be cool if these newsletters were podcasts.", so I built it. Fama lets me listen to newsletters at 2x speed if I feel like it. I can do it in my breaks when I'm cooking, or when I'm working out. It saves me time and I like it. Hope you'll like it too! Please let me know what you think :)
