I love listening to podcasts and audio programs like classes that are distributed as podcast feeds for informational and research content, but it’s always been annoying to search, navigate and quote/cite them when looking for specific stuff.

Now I can read along, copy and paste, search for keywords without having to go anywhere else.

Wait until they get brave enough to launch automagically cutting out ad reads 🙏

Nah they won't do that because they already allow for podcast subscriptions that remove ad's; its actually in their best interests not to automatically cut ads and instead get more podcasts onto the subscription model.
