Listen! Or Read the Summary.
While you can skim an article or book to get the gist of the content, it’s hard to gauge what’s in a podcast unless you listen to the whole thing. getAbstract’s podcast summaries are great time savers: They tell you the main points covered in an episode – if that’s what you’re after – or help you decide whether the episode is worth your time listening to.
There are over 30 million podcast episodes out there. getAbstract finds and summarizes the most relevant episodes for our library.

Thought leaders, authors and scholars have new knowledge and insights to share all the time. Putting these ideas into a carefully crafted article or book – as well as finding a publisher – is a lengthy process. That’s why many started to take to podcasting. Celebrity authors like Malcolm Gladwell and Michael Lewis, for example, now produce popular podcasts. So do the authors of the Freakonomics books. Avid readers won’t want to miss out on the content these stimulating thinkers have to share. That said, the podcasts are so well-produced you will probably want to listen to them. But if you are in a hurry, we’ve got you covered:
