Frequently Asked Questions

Two things decide it: which shows you follow and which podcasts you have turned on. You pick your shows when you set up the app, and you choose which podcasts to include.

The Cutaway goes through each new episode from those podcasts and takes the parts about your shows. Each clip goes under the TV episode it talks about. Talk that is not about one episode goes under Around the show for that week.

The Cutaway checks the podcasts for new episodes every hour. Clips show up under a TV episode as the podcasts post their recaps, so an episode fills in over a day or two.

You can also turn on a notification in Settings and pick the time. It comes the day after one of your shows airs, once the podcasts have talked about it, and never more than one a day.

Yes. Open Settings to add or remove shows. Settings also controls which podcasts are included and the order they play in.

A show only gets clips when the podcasts talk about it. The Cutaway does not pad anything out, so a quiet episode has a short list, and a show that is between seasons can go weeks without a clip. When it comes back, the clips come back too.

The Cutaway does not remove or skip ads. A clip plays the podcast's own audio exactly as the podcast published it, so if an ad falls inside the stretch of conversation a clip covers, you hear it.

Press and hold the clip, tap Report a problem, and choose a reason.

To describe something in your own words, use Something else (email) in the same menu. It opens a mail draft with the clip and episode details filled in.

Yes. Press and hold the clip and tap Open the full episode. That opens the episode in Apple Podcasts or on the podcast's own site.

Email support@thecutaway.app from an address connected to the show. We will remove it within 48 hours.

Erase everything and start over is at the bottom of Settings. It removes your follows, your listening history, and everything else the app keeps on your phone, and returns you to setup.
