Get a daily email that lists the top podcast episodes in your chosen genre, with short summaries you can scan in minutes. Great for marketing and content teams that track news and trends. It saves time without losing context.

On a set schedule, the flow fetches chart data from Taddy, splits each episode, downloads the audio, and sends it to a crop service to keep files short. It waits for the crop to finish with a callback and a check step, then transcribes with OpenAI Whisper and creates a clear summary with OpenAI. Results are merged and turned into a simple HTML table. The email goes out through Gmail so your team can read it anywhere.

You will need accounts for OpenAI, Gmail, and Taddy, plus API keys and Gmail access. Set your genre and time window, add your email, and run a test to confirm data and summaries. Expect to cut listening time by over 90 percent while covering up to ten episodes per day.
