Mashpods FAQ
What is Mashpods?
Mashpods lets you build a personalized daily audio podcast from the feeds you choose. You can combine news, tech, weather, and niche sources into one briefing.
How does a mash work?
A mash is your custom mix of feeds. You pick sources, we fetch new entries, summarize and transcribe them, then compile a single episode.
How often are episodes generated?
You can schedule daily or weekly episodes. Jobs run in the background and produce fresh audio when new eligible entries are available.
Can I choose only specific feed categories?
Yes. Feed selection is per mash, and you can include or remove sources any time.
Why do I see fewer items than expected?
Mashpods may skip stale items, untranscribed items, or near-duplicate stories from lower-priority sources so your episode stays concise.
How does sign-in work?
Mashpods uses passwordless sign-in via magic links. Enter your email, open the link, and you are signed in.
Can I include weather updates?
Yes. Enable weather in mash settings and set coordinates. Weather becomes part of your feed mix automatically.
