What the person you send it to gets

A page with your bite on it, playing the moment you marked and nothing else. They need no account and nothing to install, on a phone or anywhere else.

It plays from the show's own file, so the listen counts for the show — which is why publishers have no reason to mind. It also means a bite lasts as long as the episode does: if the show moves or takes it down, the bite stops playing, and nothing here can bring it back.
