Show notes generator for any podcast episode
Paste an episode link, or type the show and guest. If Smash Notes already has it, you go straight to the notes. If not, we write public, timestamped notes, with the speaker named, and email you the link.
Free requests open soon. Episodes we already cover open right away.
How it works
- Paste a link or describe it. An Apple Podcasts or RSS link, or something like “Lex Fridman with Jensen Huang”. Pick the right episode from the matches.
- Confirm your email. Your request joins the free queue, oldest first.
- Get the notes. We email you the note page when it passes our quality checks.
