## What is Thoughtide?

Thoughtide is two editor-curated audio shows, new every morning: Discover, for ideas worth knowing, and News, for the most consequential stories from around the world. Every listener hears the same episodes. No feed, no searching, no endless choices. Just press play.

DISCOVER
One fascinating topic a day, from history and science to technology and the hidden systems that run the world. Built on credible research, historical records and trusted journalism. The evidence is laid out and the conclusions are left to you.

NEWS
The day's most consequential international developments, explained with context.

EVERY EPISODE COMES WITH
• Three takeaways to remember
• A conversation starter to share what you learned
• Downloads for offline listening, playback speed, lock-screen and AirPlay controls
• A daily reminder at the time you choose

New episodes arrive every day at 6:00 AM Singapore time (GMT+8). The app shows what time that is where you are.

FREE PREVIEW
Listen to free sample episodes without signing in.

INDIVIDUAL MEMBERSHIP
Unlocks every Discover and News episode and the full archive. Choose monthly or annual.

LEADERSHIP CIRCLE
Complimentary access for verified founders, executives and business leaders. Apply in the app; our editor reviews every application.

AI COMPANION (OPTIONAL ADD-ON)
Pause any episode and ask about it, by typing or talking. Ask AI knows the episode only up to where you paused. It's sold separately and doesn't unlock episodes.

HOW EPISODES ARE MADE
Episodes are researched and scripted with the help of AI, then reviewed and approved by our editor before release. The hosts, Archer and Yuka, are AI-generated voices. Ask AI's answers come from OpenAI, and the app asks your permission before using it.
