Overcast – per chi ama i podcast

È finalmente disponibile la nuova app di Marco Arment, già fondatore di Tumblr, Instapaper e The Magazine. L’app è gratuita e ti consiglierà quali podcast seguire sulla base di chi segui su Twitter.

Gli altri motivi per cui l’app potrebbe interessarti sono “a pagamento”, tramite in-app purchase.

Smart Speed shortens silences. Playing at faster speeds has always helped people make time to hear more podcasts, but it usually came at the expense of sound quality and intelligibility. Smart Speed is like getting another speed increment for free: it saves time without sounding weird.

Voice Boost is a combination of dynamic compression and equalization that can make many shows more listenable and normalize volume across all shows. This makes amateur-produced podcasts (including many of my favorites) more listenable in loud environments, like cars, where you’d otherwise need to crank the volume so loudly to hear the quiet parts that you’d blow your ears out when the loudest person spoke.
