CueSesh App: A Podcast App That Fits Your Schedule

  "Podcast apps were built around feeds — not around you," says Alex Kisin, co-developer of the new podcast app, CueSesh. 

"Podcast episodes never fit the time you actually have. CueSesh fixes that," explains CueSesh co-developer Steven Zaslavsky. "Tell it how long you've got. It finds episodes that fit. Smart speed optimization ensures the episodes finish on time."

 

CueSesh starts with one question: how much time do you have? From there, it builds a session that fits your window, so the shows that are worth your time actually get played instead of piling up unplayed.

It draws from the topics you picked and ranks by fit, with no ad spend or promotion in the mix. So a good show earns its place on merit, whether it's a household name or one still finding its audience.

It's live, free, and Apple-native. 

CueSesh is an innovative iOS podcast app designed to fit your specific schedule rather than forcing you to scroll endlessly through feeds. Instead of dealing with half-finished episodes or overflowing queues, you simply tell the app how much time you have (e.g., a 20-minute commute or a 1-hour workout), and it curates a personalized session of podcasts that ends exactly when you do. cuesesh.com/try runs in any browser. The full app, with playback, is a free download on the App Store.

Key features of CueSesh include building an exact queue of episodes based on the minutes you specify; Pacing and adjusting episode audio to fit your session's timeframe without ruining your listening comfort; allowing the user to seamlessly curate and consume both audio and video podcasts, and keeping track of your favorite shows and allows you to add any podcast via RSS or search.

How it Works
Input Your Time: You enter the exact amount of time you have available.
Curated Queue: The app generates a playlist of episodes from your chosen topics that matches your available time to the minute.
Listen Like You Live: The playlist automatically finishes right when your commute or session ends.
 Audio and video come from the same RSS feed, so you can watch or listen without restarting.

 Alex is the co-founder of CueSesh, a podcast discovery app that helps listeners find the right episode for the time they have available. The idea began with a simple frustration shared by Alex and his co-founder: finding interesting podcast episodes they could start and finish during a drive, rather than spending the time searching for something to play or leaving episodes unfinished. 

Before co-founding CueSesh, Alex spent 15 years working in enterprise data governance and security, including helping grow a company from Series A through its $2 billion acquisition. Without a traditional engineering background, he built CueSesh while working full-time, using AI-assisted development to turn the idea into a working product. His experience has made him an advocate for non-technical founders who are willing to build, experiment, and bring their ideas to life.

 

 Steven Zaslavsky is the co-founder of CueSesh — the podcast app built around your time. With a background in IT and a career spent working with emerging technologies, he brings a maker's mindset to app development, approaching software the same way he approaches a workbench: hands-on, curious, and always tinkering. He also serves on the board of a nonprofit makerspace, where he enjoys helping others explore technology through experimentation and community involvement.

 

So many of us are in a time crunch these days, CueSesh is an ideal solution for podcast fans who want to listen but often don't have the time to complete a show or episode.  

 

 CueSesh is a free, Apple-native podcast app built around one question: how much time do you have? You set your topics and your maximum comfortable speed, and CueSesh curates a session that fits your window — a commute, a run, a dog walk — pacing playback so it lands on time. Shows surface on topic and fit, with no ad spend or promotion in the ranking, so a great show earns its place whether it's a household name or one still finding its audience. Built on standard RSS and Podcasting 2.0, CueSesh serves audio and video from the same feed, so you can switch between watching and listening without restarting.

You can download it and try it (It's Free!!) in the Apple Store. An Android version is coming soon, and the app is being certified for use in hundreds of nations around the world. 

Try it. You have nothing to lose and time to gain!
