Get an email when your podcasts publish.
PodPings watches the shows you follow and sends one digest email with a real summary when something new drops. No app to open, no notifications to dismiss.
Three steps, then you can forget about it.
Podcast apps are built to keep you scrolling. Your inbox isn't.
PodPings inverts the usual feed: you decide what counts as news, and it arrives where you already read things.
- One email instead of checking several different apps.
- A written summary, so you can skip an episode without listening to it first.
- Nothing is ever recommended to you — only the shows you chose.
Written to be read, not to fill space.
Where a show writes good episode notes, we use them. Where it doesn't, we summarise the transcript — specific claims and open questions, not a rewritten blurb. Every summary is labelled with its source, so you know what you're reading.
Questions
How often do I get the email?
Once a day, and only when there's something new from a show you're tracking. Nothing if there isn't.
Do I need a podcast app?
No. Every episode links straight to the episode page and the audio, so you can still listen wherever you normally do — the summary just tells you if it's worth your time first.
Which podcasts can I track?
PodPings currently tracks a small, hand-picked list of shows (see below) — it's not a universal podcast search yet.
Where do the summaries come from?
An LLM reads the episode transcript (or the show's own transcript, when it publishes one) and pulls out specific claims, disagreements, and open questions — not a rewritten version of the episode description.
Is it free?
Yes, for now, while it's in early access.
Will this spam my inbox?
No. One digest email when there's something new, nothing else, and unsubscribing is one click.
