I frequently find myself wanting to share information surfaced in a podcast, usually a 1 - 3 minute bit from an episode. I'm not naive enough to think friends or random people on the internet will sit through the hour I just sat through, but I don't have a great way of sharing. My current method is to use Overcast,¹ which allows you to clip up to 90 seconds from an episode and export with a deep link to a timestamp. But that also feels clunky. What are other tactics for clipping, or transforming to other mediums (text??) that facilitate better sharing?

On Overcast: it works, but I find that I spend more time trying to trim the clip than anything else. Probably takes me at least 5 minutes to get the 1-minute clip right. Maybe that’s just a normal and expected amount of effort.
But I think the larger point is it doesn’t surface the information well. I doubt many people ever listen to even the short clip. I’m thinking of a sharable speech-to-text clipper, or something.
