A podcast app that crowdsources listener timestamp annotations like • 32:15 to 34:00 is ads • Hosts spend 12 minutes talking about their lives • The last 20min is a promotion for a different podcast then supports per-show settings like "skip ads and off topic chitchat"

Removing podcast ads and chitchat isn't just about shortening stuff you still listen to. I stopped listening to some podcasts with good content b/c the chitchat was too much. I think it would increase listenership and give hosts valuable feedback

Replying to @backus
Maybe a better way to provide active feedback on podcasts instead? Or a more direct way for hosts to interact with guests while live? If the hosts knew chitchat = bad, they would probably stop

Yeah, I think something that strips it out would be the strongest feedback. Relevant followup:https://twitter.com/backus/status/1037464411416326144 …
