Dissimilar to different services podcasters can use to manually make clips, TechCrunch says Podz automates the process of discovering key minutes from episodes using machine learning trained on more than 100,000 hours of audio.

The acquisition is pointed toward improving podcast discovery, allowing clients to peruse short clasps instead of 30-minute in addition to podcast scenes.

The acquisition follows Spotify’s subscription podcasting declaration, in which it would permit select partners to charge for access to their content.
