Lissin: Personal Audio Shows is now available on the App Store

Turn any topic, question or set of sources into a personal audio show made just for you.

It gets researched, scripted and produced for you in minutes.

If you can describe it, you can listen to it.

You can also decide how it thinks and how it sounds.

Create a podcast, story, song, or a deep dive.

Get one episode or schedule a recurring show.

Try ideas like:

  • Deep dive: “Explain why casinos make you lose track of time, like a con artist revealing the trick.”
  • Podcast: “Break down this week’s biggest movie release as two critics who completely disagree.”
  • Song: “Research this week’s AI funding news and turn it into a rap song.”
  • Story: “Create a nightly bedtime story about a dragon who is scared of fire.”
  • Personal wellness: “Create a calming 10-minute reflection based on what has been making me feel overwhelmed this week.”

Sources and uploads

What you can point it at

YouTube channels, newsletters, websites, RSS feeds, subreddits, podcasts, X (Twitter), Product Hunt, and Hacker News. Plus any link, article, PDF, document, or image you hand it.

Lissin researches the topic, monitors your sources, writes the script, and designs the voices. You get something ready to listen to, without chasing updates or putting it together yourself.

Personalization

Make it personal

Tell Lissin about your interests, preferences, goals, or current situation. Add the sources and context you want it to use, or connect supported accounts such as Gmail.

Lissin uses the context you choose to provide to shape the research, script, editorial direction, voice, and delivery.

The result is not just recommended to you but made just for you.

Editorial direction and voice

You decide how it thinks and sounds

Tell Lissin what to notice, what to question, and how to frame the topic. Choose a first-principles view, a skeptical take, a practical breakdown, a debate, or your own editorial lens.

Then decide how it sounds. Choose the language, accent, voice, pacing, and energy. Make it calm, conversational, analytical, dramatic, playful, or something entirely your own.

Lissin supports multiple languages and accents.

Recurring shows

Fresh episodes, without starting over

Create a one-time episode whenever inspiration strikes, or schedule a show to return daily, weekly, or every two weeks.

A recurring show remembers its purpose, sources, creative direction, and what it has already covered. Episode nine does not repeat episode two. It picks up where it left off, finds what changed, and moves your show forward.

You can stay current without chasing updates. Lissin handles the research and monitoring automatically, then creates the next episode for you.

Episode length

Built for time you already have

Choose the length to fit the moment, then listen while you commute, walk, cook, work out, do chores or wind down.

Make a quick update for the morning, a deep dive for a long walk, a story while cooking, or a song for the gym.

Remix

Remix it in your own words

Want less hype, more context, a shorter episode, a different voice, or another angle? Type what you want changed.

Remix an episode to get a new version. Remix a recurring show to change how future episodes think and sound. Past episodes stay as they are.
