Your podcasts, compared.

Pick a category and the shows you trust. We read the new episodes and send you what was said, who said it, and where they disagree. Start with The Morning Read, our daily briefing.

How it works

01

Choose a category

The Morning Read is live. Big Ideas and Follow a person are coming soon.

02

Choose your shows

Up to ten, from our catalogue. Your email uses these and nothing else. For Follow a person, you will choose a person instead.

03

It lands in your inbox

We read the new episodes and send you what was said, and by whom. The Morning Read arrives every morning.

Choose a category. We send it to you.

Each category is its own email, built from the podcasts you choose: the news, big ideas, interesting people. One is live now; two are on the way.

Live

The Morning Read

Every morning · markets, business and geopolitics

Your shows, compared. For each story: where they agree, where they disagree, and what one of them added.

Coming soon

Big Ideas

Weekly · long-form shows

One email a week from the long conversations. Each episode gets a card with:

  • the main ideas
  • a standout quote
  • the books mentioned
  • who it’s for
Coming soon

Follow a person

Across any podcast

Choose a person rather than a show: a founder, an investor, an author. You get what they said, on whichever podcast they said it.

Two stories from The Morning Read

The Morning Read

Built from your shows. Organised by story.

Only the shows you chose

No algorithm and no trending list. Every story comes from your shows.

Every claim has a source

Each point names the show it came from. We report what your shows said, not what we think.

One story, every angle

When three of your shows cover the same story, you get it once, with their accounts side by side and the point where they part ways.

Read by a person before it’s sent

A person reads every briefing before it goes out to readers.
