FactsLane 1.8: your personal podcast

FactsLane 1.8 turns your interests into something you can listen to.

Your personal podcast

Choose what matters to you: topics, people, companies and places. When you want to catch up, ask for a personal episode. FactsLane builds it from what happened in those areas, and two hosts walk you through it. It is made on request, so it is current when you press the button, and it does not repeat what you have already heard.

You choose the details: how the hosts address you, which voice leads, and whether to keep the episode calm.

Know where you are

• Listened marks. Episodes you finished are marked as heard, and a badge shows how many new ones are waiting.
• A push when it's ready. Creating an episode takes a little time. You can leave, and a notification tells you when it is done. Tapping it opens the episode.

A fresh start in the app

• New onboarding. The first-run screens now start from what you want to follow and show how the audio works.
• What's new. After an update, the app tells you what has changed.

How to try it

Update to FactsLane 1.8 from the App Store and open the Audio tab to ask for a personal episode. Episodes draw on credits, and FL Plus members get the personal podcast. Android is rolling out after iOS.
