Importing Podcasts with WavePod

Wave has a podcast directory built in. Search for a show, open an episode, and Wave will transcribe and summarize it into a regular session — so you can skim an hour-long episode in a couple of minutes, ask questions about it, and search it alongside everything else in your library.

Find and summarize an episode

The episode page

Before you summarize anything, the episode page is useful on its own. It shows the artwork, publish date, duration, season and episode numbers, and an explicit-content flag where the show has one, plus a player so you can listen in place.

Some episodes already carry a Transcript from the directory. When one does, you can read it right there and tap any line to jump the player to that moment — switch between Show Detailed (speakers and timecodes) and Show Simple (plain text). Episodes without one say No transcript available for this episode. — that doesn't stop you summarizing it, since Wave transcribes the audio itself.

Where podcast sessions end up

A summarized episode becomes a normal Wave session with the episode's title, artwork, and audio. Everything you'd expect works on it: editing the summary, action items, AI chat, search, and sharing or exporting.

• On your phone, they're grouped under the Podcast filter on the Home tab.
• In the web app, they collect in the fixed Podcasts folder and under the Podcast filter on your sessions list.
• Everywhere else, they sync like any other session — see Using Wave on Multiple Devices.

Browsing podcasts on the web

app.wave.co has a Podcasts page at /settings/podcast where you can search shows and browse Trending, then open a series to see its episode list. It's browse-only for now — to turn an episode into a session, use the directory in the phone app.
