Podcast Digest: This Week's Business and Tech Podcasts in Five Minutes

The best arguments of the week are often in a two-hour podcast. Podcast Digest reads the Business & Technology Podcasts Beacon and gives you each episode's argument in a few sentences, with a link to the episode.

What it does

• Four to six episodes ranked for your interests, each with its argument in two or three sentences.
• Predictions stay predictions: "the guest expects", never stated as fact.
• A speaker is named only when the source names them, and quotes are word for word.
• It ends with the threads that ran across several shows, labelled as its reading.

A real result

The a16z Show: "The New Startup Playbook | Box CEO Aaron Levie" (2026-10-25)

Aaron Levie says AI agents let a 3-10 person team produce the output of a 50-200 person company (stated), and that founders are becoming managers of work done by agents, so the bottleneck moves from doing the work to reviewing it (stated).

Prediction (his, not fact). Levie expects hundreds of new companies valued at $1B to $10B+ built on automating specific job functions with agents. (Episode)

Set it up once

The first run is the setup: your agent picks the Beacon, agrees the schedule with you and shows you a real result. After that it runs on its own and reports only what is new since the last run.

We tested this skill end to end against live Synorb data before we published it: a fresh agent read only the skill and did the job. The sample above is what it produced. Synorb makes no model call when it serves a request, so your own model writes the result.

Try it

In a coding agent, install it with one command:

npx skills add Synorb/skills --skill podcast-digest

In any other agent that can read a link, paste this:
