Podstash
PodStash is a chrome extension that allows users to convert any web link into a podcast episode. With multi-language support, users can access podcasts in various languages. The tool aims to enhance productivity by enabling users to turn any link into a short podcast, thereby making content consumption more efficient.
The extension offers a range of sources, including scientific journals, Wikipedia pages, blog posts, and Substack articles. It synthesizes scientific journals and new discoveries as soon as they are discovered, transforming them into easily consumable podcast episodes. Detailed Wikipedia pages can be transformed into intriguing non-fiction podcast episodes. Additionally, blog posts can be experienced as professionally recorded audiobook chapters. The tool also facilitates following independent publishers by turning Substack articles into soundtracks.
Powered by AI, PodStash enables users to choose any article or blog post that they can access on the web. GPT-4, an advanced AI technology, generates a podcast script based on Specialized LLM Prompts. This script is then transformed into a lifelike voiceover, creating a podcast episode that lasts approximately five minutes.
PodStash works seamlessly with various podcast platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Overcast.fm, and Castro.fm. Moreover, it supports any platform that can accommodate a custom RSS URL, ensuring accessibility regardless of the user’s preferred podcast app.
