How do you take notes of interesting ideas while podcasting

If I'm on the go on my phone and there's a cool idea in the podcast I'm listening, then I take a screenshot of my locked screen as it shows my audio player (with the button shortcuts). And then later on I go back to those screenshots and I know which podcasts and which moments had important ideas.

If I'm doing active listening, i.e. listening to a podcast or watching a talk and actively taking notes, then I use https://sidenote.me

For example: https://sidenote.me/note/0gcKho/nailing-your-first-launch-ad...

I've actually begun using iOS voice memo app more often. I just add to a weekly recording whenever I come across something interesting. Recording can't get easier than this. Easy to passively listen and read. If i have a hard time summarizing it into a couple of lines, i know I dont know it well enough right there. I move the interesting ones into relevant google docs when I get the time and clean up the recordings.

They go under 80-89: Inspiration & Notes > 81. Other Thinkers' Ideas Mentioned in Podcasts & Articles

Title: {author or (podcast name & episode)} - {1 sentence description}

Content:

- blog post screenshot?

- bullet point summary of ideas and context building up to ideas?

- url link

E.g. these 2 examples https://imgur.com/a/w3De47J

Worst part abt this system though is that I often listen to podcasts while doing the dishes. Inevitably I rush to write an idea down but my hands are sopping wet.. :^)

I use TaskWarrior[0]. Low friction..

  task add +read "Book title. Mentioned in interview [link for the resource] by X with Y. Useful because [reasons].

Then I annotate the task

  task 180 annotate (triple quotes)(multi line thoughts)(triple quotes)(return)

I also add notes there. I also used markdown files and MKDocs [old link: https://jhadjar.gitlab.io/kbase/]

This stuff served as the seed of our knowledge base where I work.

If I'm on the go, I'll just take screenshots of that point in time and if I remember, I'll go back to that moment and take notes on it, google search it, or something.

If I can stop what I'm doing (if I'm on a walk), I will pause and take notes. With audiobooks, I can bookmark and take notes in Audible. I do wish I could see the transcription because I always worry Audible didn't capture the right portion of the audio so that when I go back to listen later it takes me a while to try to figure out what I bookmarked/clipped. Whereas in a physical book, I know exactly what I highlighted. Does that make sense?

If you use an iPhone, and listen to podcasts with headphones that have buttons: https://apps.apple.com/hu/app/airr-highlight-podcasts/id1355...

A triple tap creates highlights at the current location. If the podcast has transcripts, even the surrounding text is saved. It integrates with readwise.io too, so you have export/reminder options there as well.

Unfortunately nothing like this for audiobooks yet.

Hey there’s this website I use listennotes

It’s pretty good as it transcribe the audio and I usually capture interesting links to resources shared in the podcast to my pocket app.

Last but not least I have a README file on github as TIL where I put stuff I discover from podcasts or just in general

If it is really good, I will try to get the material in print if available.

Otherwise, I just end up pausing and writing down key ideas.
