Post Description
Hi, i made an app that lets you search anything that'd be on Wikipedia and listen to it as a enjoyable and educational story rather than an article.
The app centres around historical people, places, and events and offers up to 45 minutes episode or a 3-minute overview of a particular story.
I made it because I would be curious about a historical figure but I didn't want to slog through the Wikipedia page. I also didn't want an AI summary. I wanted something I could consume easily and get all the details.
Please let me know if you have any feedback :)

A personalized 5-min daily podcast tailored to your topics and goals
The neat twist is goal-driven framing — it promises to filter and reframe sources around what you actually need instead of dumping generic summaries. The landing lists concrete UX bits (Substack/RSS sources, 5am delivery, full transcript, $5/month) but is light on how content is ranked, filtered, or vetted; execution looks clean, not revolutionary.
