If you love listening to podcasts but can’t remember anything you’ve learned from them, you are wasting your time!

The wealth of information from these long form conversations can help you form habits, make better financial decisions and peer into the lessons learned of some of the world’s most successful people.

Yet days or even hours after you’ve listened, you’ve probably forgotten all of the key points you thought were so important.

Enter Snipd.

It’s November 2025 and Snipd is the app of the month.

Snipd is “The AI-powered Podcast Player”

Great, what does that mean?

The most useful thing that Snipd does is allow you to save snippets of a podcast and sync it automatically with Readwise.

That is the premise of the app.

It plays back just like any other podcast app.

You can then create snips via the app, with your headphones by using the default command for “go back”, or in the car, for me I use the back button on the steering wheel, completely hands free while using apple car play.

When you take a snip you get an audible ding so you know it went through.

What do you do with all these snips?

That is the beauty of the readwise integration. You can automatically sync readwise with your second brain, notion, craft and obsidian feature automatic sync, apple notes and many other have a manual process as well.

Readwise will then surface these during the daily review, or you can chat with your highlights online within the readwise website now as well.

Personally I share some anecdotes, personal experiences and quotes from different podcasts and books in my Perspective Shifts section of my Newsletter The Digital Pulse.

Recently this app got a much needed revamp of its CarPlay interface. For the longest time it was a manual queue and you had to update that in the app, on the phone, with no way to search new podcasts or releases in the car.

Discovery is no better or worse than any other platform, generally its hard to discover new and upcoming podcasts while the big shows get all the limelight.

That is no different here, you can browse shows by which ones have the most snips, which is unique to this app. Basically that might give you an indication if it is something worth listening to.

The other cool thing is that you can click into an episode and read some of the popular takeaways, so you don’t have to waste 3 hours listening to something that might not be useful for you.

I’ve come across a few shows that I wouldn’t have listened too this way that have been really helpful.

The other cool thing you can see inside of the show and episode are different books that are recommended. Helpful if you are like me and like to take book recommendations from podcasts and stack them on both my physical and digital shelves so I have a hard time figuring out what I would like to read next.

The interface makes sense and is highly usable. I have no notes on things that I would like to improve, I have no problem with navigation inside of the app.

The biggest downside of the app is that it is another subscription. I can’t complain too much though because I don’t know of anything else out there that does this.

Do I think it is a steep price for the slow pace of development? Yes.

It took far too long to make updates to the CarPlay screen and it still isn’t perfect.

the iPad app is just the phone app and there is no desktop app to be had. Disappointing for something that costs $84/year.

Readwise itself is around $100/year, so the fact that this is almost the same cost is insane. Sure this is a niche product, not everyone cares to capture highlights from podcasts, but I wish this existed for audiobooks as well.

I find just as much knowledge in podcasts as I do on YouTube these days. A lot of these podcasts are on YouTube as well and I choose to listen to the audio version so I can do this while I commute.

I’ve found book recommendations, worked through personal issues, turned snips into articles and newsletters and keep collecting new insights every time that I hop in the car.

So while it is expensive, this is one of the ways I choose to invest in myself, to keep learning, and keep discovering new perspectives.

For me this app is absolutely worth it!
