Summary

Highlights

  • Forklifting of time into your airpods keeps increasing
  • For a lot of people, the default podcast player is a video app
  • Audio has different modes – passive (you just want to chill and listen to other people) vs active (you want to take notes or talk) modes
 
Augmented Audio: can you bring more layers into audio
  • Audio today is a very one-way consumption experience. Can this be a two way experience?
  • What tools does the creator want? What does the creator want to hear from his fans?
  • Remixing and annotating audio
 
Recommendations
  • People's music listening predicts their podcast tastes
  • Think of a super-app. Think of the user as one person with multiple jobs to be done
  • A knowledge graph can be incredibly useful
    • Topics discussed
    • Personality cult
