When You “Remember” Work-from-Home: How Current Feelings Distort Past Productivity

A single-host explainer of a study on work-from-home (WFH) evaluations showing that people’s retrospective self-reports of productivity and related factors are systematically biased by their current state—an anchoring effect. The episode also explains how, despite biased absolute levels, relative trends over time can still be informative.

StopRansomware: The Basics of Ransomware, Double Extortion, and Getting Ready

In this episode, we break down what ransomware is, how modern attacks often escalate into “double extortion,” and—most importantly—what an organization can do to prepare, prevent, and respond using CISA’s StopRansomware Guide. We’ll focus on practical steps: backups, incident planning, hardening common entry points, and the first moves if you’re hit.

How summaries differ

More than text read aloud.

Poddy restructures a source around its argument, evidence, caveats, and takeaways. It does not simply read every paragraph from top to bottom.

Original source
Long-form

A dense article, paper, PDF, or briefing that keeps getting pushed later.

Poddy episode
Structured
  • The main argument and supporting evidence.
  • Important caveats and uncertainty from the source.
  • A closing recap for the next meeting or decision.

FAQ

Clear answers before checkout.

What counts as one credit?

A 1-minute recap uses 1 credit, a 3-minute briefing uses 2 credits, and a 6-minute deep dive uses 3 credits. Multiple URLs create one episode per source.

What happens if generation fails?

The episode is marked failed, the error is visible on the episode page, and all reserved credits are refunded automatically.

Can I download the audio?

Yes. Completed episodes can be played in the browser, downloaded as MP3 files, or collected in your private podcast feed.

Which sources work today?

Poddy supports public URLs, PDFs, DOCX files, and TXT files. More source types can be added later.

Are my episodes public?

No. Generated episodes are private to your account. Your personal RSS feed is designed for your own podcast app.

What documents work best?

Clean PDFs, DOCX files, TXT notes, and public web pages with readable article text work best. Scanned image-only PDFs may need OCR before upload.
