Introducing podcast.today – Your Daily Five‑Minute Shortcut to the Best Podcasts
In a Hurry? Here’s the Gist
Finding a great podcast shouldn’t feel like scrolling an endless feed. podcast.today is a brand‑new weekday newsletter that lands in your inbox every morning with the 5–10 episodes worth your time. One quick skim, and you’re off to listening.
Why We Built This
- Too Much Choice, Not Enough Time
There are millions of shows and tens of millions of episodes. Charts show what’s popular, not what’s perfect for you. - One Click, You’re Listening
Every pick links straight to Apple, Spotify, or YouTube. No hunting, just tap and play. - Powered by Parla’s Brain
Under the hood, Parla’s recommendation engine watches trends, reads episode notes, and even listens to snippets so you don’t have to. But you only see the polished results.
Think of it as having a friend who speed‑listens to everything and texts you the highlights each morning.
How Does It Work? (The Friendly Version)
- Scan the World: Parla checks roughly 400,000 new episodes every day.
- Smart Filter: Our system spots what’s fresh, interesting, and genuinely different.
- Human Touch: A curator gives each shortlist a final pass for quality and variety.
- Daily Delivery: The top 5–10 make it into your inbox — no more, no less.
That same smart engine also:
- Creates Instant Lists for PR teams in seconds.
- Powers Parla Search, so you can find that episode about bootstrapped AI founders without guessing keywords.
