How Aurio works

Most podcast apps ask you to pick a show from its cover. Aurio lets you hear it first.

  1. 1

    Swipe the clips

    Each clip plays a 15-second moment from a real episode. Swipe up for the next one, or pick a genre to narrow it down.

  2. 2

    Read the recap

    A one-line AI recap says what the episode covers, so you know whether it is for you before you press play.

  3. 3

    Play the full episode

    Tap Full episode to listen from the start, follow the show, or save it for later. Aurio picks up where you left off.
