The platform provides listeners with a way to make their way through a large number of podcasts by listening to curated tidbits instead of going from beginning to end, which can sometimes take hours. This allows listeners to enjoy small tidbits from shows throughout the day when they might not have the time to listen to an entire episode of their favorite shows.

The 'Smash Notes' platform provides users with answers to questions from podcasts that will enable them to lose themselves in the content or quickly enjoy information between tasks.
