How to make a bite
A bite is a link that plays one exact part of a podcast or video. Nothing is re-uploaded, you don't need an account, and it works in any browser. Start with the four steps, or pick a topic below.
Make a bite
- Find the episodeSearch for a podcast by name, or paste a link to an episode or a video.
- Mark the momentThe whole episode starts selected. Drag the ends in, or type the two times.
- Video or audioWhen a show publishes both, pick whether your bite plays as a video or as audio.
- Send itPress Clip it, then copy the link, send it to an app, or save the clip as an MP3.
Tips and fixes
- Making a bite worth sendingWhere to put the two ends so people press play: one whole idea, a beat before the first word, played once before you send it, and the show credited.
- What the person you send it to getsA page that plays your moment and nothing else, from the show's own file. No account and nothing to install, on a phone or anywhere else.
- When something won't open or won't playWhat to do when a link can't be resolved, a Spotify link opens something else, nothing plays, a YouTube video won't appear or there's no MP3 button.
- Your historyYour last eight bites, kept in this browser, or on every device if you sign in. What the red dot means, and what clearing it does.
