Orca Pod smarter.

Never miss the episode that matters.

Your queue, triaged against what you care about.

Tell Orca what you care about. The topics, the beats, what you already know. It reads each episode against that, marks the ones worth your full hour, and says why.

every row asks: worth your time? Orca learns the answer
It’s a podcast player

Orca plays your shows like any other player. The difference is that it reads each episode as it lands, usually well before you get to it, so the queue arrives sorted with a reason attached. Anything still being read says so.

Setup is a few sentences: what you are interested in, and what you want out of the time you spend listening. Orca finds the highlights and tells you which episodes to play in full, and why. Every moment carries a timestamp, so you can jump straight to the part that matters to you.

Every episode asks whether it was worth your time. Say yes or no, and why; Orca learns from every answer.

The same episode, read for two people

Works in markets, listens to stay current

No mark. For this listener it is not one of the hours Orca singles out, and it stays in the queue like any other episode.

Listens on the commute, for the stories

“one genuinely great story, worth the drive”

Skip to 41:20 for Chanos on getting married at City Hall, ringing four different people that morning to find a witness. The capex analysis will not land for you. That will.

Same 69 minutes. For one of them it is a Listen, and Orca says why in their own terms. That judgement is what a subscription buys. This website only ever shows the generic reading.
