Podcast moments for learning teams: the second that matters, not the whole episode

Verbatim Team for Learning, from Verbatim by The Art of Service, costs USD 299 a month for 5 seats. Learning and development teams search the full archive of 900+ business and technology podcasts, share watchlists of up to 100 terms, and send employees the exact second a practitioner explains a skill instead of a whole episode. Every moment plays from that second. The REST API and MCP bring the same moments into the team's own AI.

Framework

The Ten-Minute Learning Loop

It turns a shared skill watchlist into a weekly ten-minute habit: one moment at the second, shared, applied, and back again next Monday.

Skill watchlist: the skills and phrases the team wants to hear explained. Moment at the second: a practitioner explains it; the link plays from there. Share: the moment goes to the people who need that skill. Apply: a practitioner's words, tried the same week.

The Ten-Minute Learning Loop: a skill watchlist feeds a moment at the second, the team shares it, applies it, and the loop restarts next Monday.

How do shared watchlists work for a learning team?

Verbatim Team gives 5 seats and a shared watchlist of up to 100 terms. A learning team fills it with the skills and phrases it wants to hear explained by people who do the work: "running a one-to-one", "discovery call", "incident review", "pricing a renewal".

  1. Each seat holder adds terms; everyone sees the same list.
  2. When a watched term is said on any of the 900+ tracked podcasts, the alert arrives the next morning, linked to the second.
  3. The team plays the moment, decides whether it teaches the skill, and shares the listen link with the people who need it. The link plays from that second, so nobody has to find the spot in an hour-long episode.
  4. The full archive is searchable, so a skill that nobody asked about yet can still be found by searching the phrase.

The Monday brief does the same for 3 or more topics in the team's own words, so the loop runs weekly without anyone remembering to search.

Can moments go into our learning platform?

Every Verbatim moment has a listen link that plays the quote from the second it was said. Any learning platform, wiki, chat channel or course page that can hold a link can hold a moment, and the learner lands on the second rather than the episode.

For teams that want more than links, Verbatim Team includes the REST API and MCP. The API returns, for each moment, the quote, speaker, show, episode, date, the second, any numbers said, and the listen link, so a learning team can pull moments into its own tools by script. MCP lets the team's own AI search the library directly, with each answer carrying the second it was said. Quotes are short and the full episode belongs to its publisher, so a moment is always a pointer to the source, never a copy of it.

Frequently asked questions

Can we use podcasts for workplace learning?

Yes, and Verbatim Team makes it practical. Instead of asking staff to listen to whole episodes, a learning team searches 900+ business and technology podcasts for the exact second a practitioner explains a skill and shares that link. The moment plays from that second. Shared watchlists and next-morning alerts keep new moments arriving every week.

How do shared watchlists work?

Verbatim Team includes shared watchlists of up to 100 names or phrases that all 5 seats see and can edit. When a watched term is said on a tracked podcast, the team gets a next-morning alert linked to the second. A learning team fills the list with the skills it wants explained by people who do the work.

Can moments go into our LMS?

Every Verbatim moment has a listen link that plays from the second it was said, and any learning platform or page that can hold a link can hold it. Verbatim Team also includes the REST API, which returns the quote, speaker, show, date, second and listen link for scripting, and MCP so the team's own AI can search the library.

How many seats?

Verbatim Team includes 5 seats at USD 299 a month, with shared watchlists of up to 100 terms, search of the full archive, the REST API and MCP, and everything in Pro. A Team owner creates the API key on the account page. Annual billing is USD 3,588 a year, and Team annual can be invoiced on request.

What does it cost?

Verbatim Team costs USD 299 a month for 5 seats, or USD 3,588 a year billed once, which is twelve months at the monthly price on one invoice. Team annual can also be invoiced on request. A single learner can start on Verbatim Free at USD 0, with a Monday brief on 3 topics and 7-day search, or Verbatim Pro at USD 29 a month.

Send the second, not the episode
