A podcast player would be nice. “Hey Rabbit… play the latest episode of Stuff You Should Know…”

That works, at least via spotify! If you use it, try asking: “Play Stuff you should now podcast on spotify”
For me it worked. You just have to choose the right episode out of the playlist then. I don’t know if it can choose the newest one via voice command since i didn’t try that.

Hey rbry. That makes sense. Thank you. I currently don’t have a paid subscription of Spotify so I don’t have that connected. I wish the connection also worked on the non-paid version with adds.

Step 1: I would like it to play podcasts that I have downloaded to its on board memory. This requires little more than an MP3 player capability.
Step 2: I would like it to listen to the podcasts in the background and analyse them
Step 3: I would like to by able to ask questions about the podcast or request a summary.

I love these ideas.
We plan to start implementing things that can take advantage of local file access, so watch this space

One thing to think about is Podcast episodes generally are a hour or longer which would mean that the file sizes could generally be like 1.5-2G or more. While you could probably fit like 60 episodes on there you might find yourself filling the storage up fast if you are locally storing podcasts.
Not to say that it isnt still a good idea!

Perhaps we can teach a streaming podcast service via Teach Mode later this year

Thanks! - on the analysis / Q&A of recorded media, this could have larger applications, e.g.
- review of board minutes/meetings (“what did we agree to do about X”)
- review of company presentations (“What did they say their third quarter earnings will be”)
- review of lectures (“Summarise an explanation of concept [A] and recommend some further reading and videos on this topic”)

@ARabbit - I don’t know why, but it works for me with a free account.
@LargeRabbit - nice ideas
@Cat - 1h podcast should not exceed more than 600MB in a pretty good quality format such as WAV ( im recording radio sets for 60 and 120 min for more then 14 years now, and in this radio sets i use quit high quality tracks and 690 min set is about 600mb ) i think for a podcast where you have just conversation, you can easy do an mp3 at 128Kbs and would be more the enaught and probably you get way under 100 mb for 1h podcast. there are a lot of ways to compress audio.
Great! I believe taking advantage of local file access will be a really great direction
