Podoyo and Google’s Daily Listen
Daily Listen is Google’s experiment in a short daily audio briefing built from your interests. Podoyo makes the show you ask for, any length you choose, on any topic you name.
| Podoyo | Google Daily Listen | |
|---|---|---|
| Status | An app on the App Store; Android is submitted to Google Play, not public yet | A Search Labs experiment, which Google lists for the US and India |
| Starts from | One sentence you write or say | Your interests, taken from your Search and Discover activity |
| Length | Shows up to 20 minutes free, up to 60 minutes on Premium | About five minutes or less |

When is Daily Listen the better choice?
When you want a briefing with no request to write, made from what Google already knows you read, with links to the stories. When you live in a country and language where the experiment is open and you already use the Google app.
When is Podoyo the better choice?
When you want to choose the topic yourself, or want more than five minutes. When you live outside the US and India or need a language other than English. When you want music between the parts, or to listen in the car.
