What’s new?

We’ve launched a ton of new features (and killed some 🐛s) since our last email update few weeks ago:

• Apple podcast import: Import all your shows from Apple Podcasts with one-click so you’ll never miss a clip from them again! You can find this under settings on your profile tab.

• Better feed personalization: We’ve changed our algorithm to account for what’s trending in the community. More soon.

• Search within transcript to create a clip: Remember the words from the podcast, but not the timestamp? We gotchu.

• Image search: Insert any image into your clip just by searching the keyword

• Tips from Shuffle: OK, we went a little crazy in quarantine and basically created some Tiktoks to help you learn how to use Shuffle. You’ll start seeing these in the app.

  

  lol Gen Z amirite?!

3. Nick is one of the best thinkers on the future of audio. He wrote a fascinating piece on looking at consumer media apps through the lens of memetic theory and remixing culture — and shouts Shuffle out:
