In association with Silicon Underwriters of America, Fred\u2019s University will be selling an inexpensive app, tentatively named Snip Chat, that allows listeners to skip the initial chit-chat at the start of a podcast.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No more guessing when the inane chatter will end and the serious content will begin! This app uses sophisticated AI to determine the exact moment when irritating discussions of the weather in a faraway town, pop culture references to things older people don\u2019t understand, extraneous personal reveals and sexist banter comes to an end.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is estimated that the average serious podcast listener will be able to save 60 hours a year by using Snip Chat. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In keeping with the drive to monetize all academic departments by 2040, this venture marks a promising beginning to the Silicon Underwriters of America partnership. In exchange for a cut in the revenue for Snip Chat, Silicon Underwriters have endowed a state-of-the-art podcasting booth in the department lounge.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/schoolnewstoday.com\/university-department-of-podcasting-announces-friday-office-poetry-podcast\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Department of Podcasting<\/a><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Listen to our podcast, Friday Office Poetry, on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/pca.st\/09zha0j7\">Pocket Cast<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/4QG8DUGxV7ol2aedSH28q9\">Spotify<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.google.com\/feed\/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy84MGEyZDY4OC9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw?ep=14\">Google Podcasts<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/anchor.fm\/friday-office-poetry\">Anchor.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fred&#8217;s University&#8217;s new Department of Podcasting launches an app to cut annoying chitchat out of podcasts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1250,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,7,6,5,9],"tags":[288,287,20,285,290,284,286,289],"class_list":["post-1247","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-association-news","category-burning-badger-waldorf-school","category-freds-university-academic-satire","category-public-school-zero","category-richard-e-rich-academy","tag-apps","tag-creators","tag-education","tag-journalism","tag-media-studies","tag-podcasting","tag-radio","tag-universtity"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.1 (Yoast SEO v24.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Smaller Talk - Schol News Today<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Fred&#039;s University&#039;s new Department of Podcasting launches an app to cut annoying chitchat out of podcasts.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/schoolnewstoday.com\/smaller-talk\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Smaller Talk School News Today\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Fred&#039;s University&#039;s new Department of Podcasting launches an app to cut annoying chitchat out of podcasts.
