I’m a huge fan of podcasts. And I don’t mean simply for entertainment, but I find podcasts as a valuable resource for learning.

Maybe it’s the conversational style or the engagement, but I definitely prefer it over other listening formats like audiobooks or lectures.

I also like reading articles, and while I appreciate reading articles from talented writers, there are certain publications that I only read for the purpose of gaining information.

So what if I could take those purely informative articles and consume them in a more engaging way? What if they can be delivered in the style of a podcast?

So I stumbled upon this IOS app called “Recast AI” which claims to summarize articles into podcast formats.

The description for Recast AI is as follows:

With recast, you can transform the way you consume content, whether you’re on the go, working out, or simply looking for a more convenient way to stay informed. Recast takes the hassle out of reading long articles, by turning them into entertaining, informative, and easy-to-understand audio conversations.

After trying it out, I am thoroughly blown away.
