Hey! Thanks for the comment. I built this primarily for myself bc I'm a slow reader (dyslexic ). Anyone who gravitates towards audiobooks or podcasts can basically use this to power through online content they'd rather listen to than read.
Shortly after launching a second customer audience emerged though... people who have newsletters or blogs and want to "convert" these into companion Podcasts. So I've been shipping some improvements to make that possible and have found a slightly stronger signal (more $$ too) from this group.
Ultimately I want this to become a research tool as well, so you can just specify the topics you are interested in and PodStash will give you a daily/weekly episode keeping you informed on that topic.
