You guys should offer a highlight feature for those who don’t have time to listen to the whole show

Lets be real: everyone except those with three jobs has 1 hour to listen to something. You can do it while washing dishes and folding laundry – unless you don’t have time for those either.

The question is – how many people want to listen for 1 hour straight? That’s where a highlight reel comes in.

Podcasts are designed for a person to listen to a bit and eventually come back. I subscribe to 13 (12 because Serial isn’t active right now) and only listen to them when I’m at work or traveling. Podcasts are based off the traditional radio show format, so putting up a highlight version doesn’t work.
