When You “Remember” Work-from-Home: How Current Feelings Distort Past Productivity

A single-host explainer of a study on work-from-home (WFH) evaluations showing that people’s retrospective self-reports of productivity and related factors are systematically biased by their current state—an anchoring effect. The episode also explains how, despite biased absolute levels, relative trends over time can still be informative.

Why this workflow

Listen to long-form posts without a flat read-aloud.

Technical blogs, company posts, essays, and specialist newsletters published on the open web can be valuable but easy to postpone. Poddy extracts the main readable content from a public post and creates a private episode.

The episode is structured around the author’s argument and supporting detail, making it useful for a first pass or refresher while the original page remains the reference.

How it works

From source to private episode in three steps.

01

Copy the public post URL

Choose a page where the complete article is readable without a login, subscription, or interactive application.

02

Choose a listening depth

Use a short summary for triage or a longer explanation when examples and caveats matter.

03

Build your private queue

Listen in Poddy, save the MP3, or collect completed posts through your personal RSS feed.

Structured for listening

Keep the useful detail without reading every line aloud.

The episode changes the format, while the original source remains the place to verify exact wording and detail.

Less browser noise

The workflow focuses on readable article content rather than navigation, banners, and surrounding page furniture.

Built for understanding

A generated script can connect the post’s ideas instead of simply narrating each paragraph.

One listening destination

Keep useful posts alongside document and report briefings in the same private queue.

Know the limits.

Audio is useful for orientation and review. The source remains essential when precision matters.

  • Paywalls, authentication, bot protection, and script-heavy pages may block text extraction.
  • Embedded demonstrations, code playgrounds, videos, and interactive charts require direct review.
  • You remain responsible for using the source material lawfully and respecting the publisher’s rights.
Frequently asked questions

Common questions about blog to podcast.

How do I turn a blog post into a podcast?

Paste the URL of a readable public post into Poddy, choose the episode style and duration, and generate a private audio briefing.

Does Poddy publish the episode as a public show?

No. The episode is private and can be played in Poddy, downloaded, or added to your personal RSS feed.

Do paywalled blog posts work?

Pages requiring a login or subscription generally cannot be extracted. Use a public source you are permitted to process.

Can I process several blog links?
