Hi Product Hunt fam 😻 Like so many of you, we at Overlap (YC S24) love podcasts. Our CEO Jonathan’s favorite podcast has long been Acquired, Casey’s is Impaulsive (how Gen Z) and mine is Freakonomics. But these days, more and more people are engaging with podcasts in new ways: ⏱️Through clips instead of full-length episodes 🕵️Through topic-based searches instead of via subscriptions ✨Through algorithmic recommendations on social media, not global podcast charts We think the podcast apps aren’t adapting to this future - so for the past year we’ve been building Overlap. Overlap is a new iOS mobile app that uses AI to curate the best podcast moments for you. Each day, we’ll send you personalized clip-based playlists on topics you’re interested in – whether that’s Is Consumer Space Travel Here?, Kevin Hart’s Funniest Moments, or A Brief History of Credit Cards. Or if you have a topic in mind, prompt our AI to generate a custom playlist for you. Please reach out at admin@joinoverlap.com if you have ANY feedback at all and thank you so much for reading this far and considering downloading Overlap.

@kjosephabraham ah good q! Here’s the name origin: For any topic on Overlap, overlapping voices and clips come together from different podcasts to make one playlist.

@a_zelenkov yes! Users can generate playlists now actually (and share them via text) but would be interesting to see what others are generating in-app

@a_zelenkov Great callout. Users can generate their own playlists and share them with anyone but not yet in-app. Some kind of feed to see what kind of playlists people are generating could be very interesitng.

Hey @buzz_rubenstein I'm not the biggest podcast listener, I only listen when I'm traveling, so this is perfect for extracting the key takeaways from different topics. Love it 👏🏻 Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻

Congrats on the launch! This app has become my go-to for long drives, runs, and commutes. I usually spend ages on podcast discovery particularly because full-length pods can be quite a commitment — Overlap solves that pain point so well.

@aashay_shah2 Thank you!! We're glad to hear you like it. That's exactly how I use the app too :) It's perfect when you don't have time for a full 90 minute pod

@aashay_shah2 @caseytraina So glad you're liking it! Finding the right podcast before you get into the shower or drive to work = unnecessary work.

I get stuck in podcast ruts, listening to the same kinds of content. Overlap is perfect for me in that it makes it easy to dabble in different genres. I love my daily Overlap recs!
