Choose what you care about (work, interests, stocks, sports, crypto, your teams) and Podio builds a live station around it. Hit play, you're on air. At the Explore, Hot Topics cover what's breaking; daily and weekly channels handle the rest. No feeds, no scrolling.
I really like this concept. Finally an app that builds me a live station with exactly the topics I care about - no endless scrolling through feeds.
Quick question: How personalized does the content get over time? Does it learn from what I skip or listen to longer?
@hsr88 Hey Krystian, thank you so much for your comment :)
We are working on the memory of the agents to increase personalization over time, we will launch an agent training feature for hyper-personalization soon.
As of now, you can select topics as specific as you want and your unique set of news will be curated instantly.

Came across this today and the concept is interesting. I like the idea of not having to scroll through feeds but I am a bit unsure how well it will actually match my specific interests without feeling too generic. Will give it a try and see if it actually feels personal or not. Btw good luck with the launch.
@sidraarifali Hey Sidra, thank you so much for the kind comment and for giving Podio a try!
We’ve put a lot of effort into making the personalization extremely granular. You can go into very fine details when specifying your interests.
I’d love to hear how it matches (or doesn’t match) your specific topics once you’ve used it for a bit. Any feedback (positive or critical) will directly help us improve the algorithm.
Really appreciate you stopping by and good luck with your own projects too!
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Samet. Building Podio with @armanaksoy34
Quick context on why this exists: we kept opening news apps, scrolling for ten minutes, and walking away more anxious without actually knowing more. The feeds aren't broken. They're just doing a different job than the one we wanted them to do.
So we tried audio. You tell Podio what you follow (your industry, a few stocks, the team you support, whatever it is) and it builds a live news station around that. Hit play, you're on air.
It works like a real radio, not a podcast app. There's no episode list to manage. You press play and there's news on what you picked.
Inside the app right now:
🎙 Custom stations you build yourself
🔥 Hot Topics: ready-made stations on whatever's moving today
📅 Daily and weekly channels that show up without you asking
We've been at this about a year and shipped to early users a few months back. The product changes most weeks based on what people tell us, which is why I'm here.
Try it: 📱 iOS: apps.apple.com/us/app/podio-news-podcast-maker/id6747738443 🌐 Web: listenpodio.com
What I'd really value: spend a few minutes with it, then tell me what you'd change. If it clicks for you, an upvote means a lot to a two-person team. If it doesn't, please tell me why. That's the more useful comment anyway.
Huge thanks to @armanaksoy34 for being a relentless co-founder and to everyone on PH for taking a look ❤️

@bengeekly Thank you for your comment!
We pull news from both local and global sources across the web, along with updates and posts from X.
Regarding personal resources, how would you like to add your own?
One option is letting users input whitelisted websites and specific X accounts to follow. Would that cover what you had in mind, or were you thinking of something different?
Really appreciate the feedback!

@armanaksoy34 Why do they need to be whitelisted ?
Point about scrolling news apps for ten minutes and just walking away anxious is so incredibly accurate. Endless doomscrolling is a terrible way to start the morning. Replacing that with a passive, hands-free radio format is a brilliant concept. @samet_sezer
@samet_sezer @vikramp7470 Thank you so much for your comment Vikram :) Appreciate the support
@vikramp7470 Thanks Vikram, really appreciate it 🙌 Mornings shouldn't drain you before the day even starts.
minimalist phone: reduce your screentime
Cool! It reminds me one guy who built something like podcast from tweets. This is also an interesting idea :)
@busmark_w_nika Thank you for the comment :) wow, that actually sounds really cool
@busmark_w_nika Haha that’s actually a really cool comparison 😄Appreciate the support Nika! 🙌
Tired of doomscrolling news feeds and wasting time?
We've built Podio so you can just hit play and stay informed hands-free.Podio turns your interests into a live, personalized audio stream:
Perfect for commuting, workouts, cooking, or deep work.
No screens, no algorithms fighting for your attention. It's early, and I'd genuinely love your honest feedback (what's working, what's missing, content quality, etc.).
Many thanks to my co-founder @samet_sezer who made this possible.
Can't wait for the feedback and comments today!
