The SummarizAI Study Podcast is a short series on study methods for people who learn from YouTube lectures and other recorded lectures. Each episode is one job you can run the same day, with show notes on this blog.

Episodes do not replace the written guides. The audio is the walkthrough. The matching guide, when there is one, keeps the checklist. Listen, then do the sort yourself. A summary of the episode is not the assignment.

Episodes

  1. How to Catch Up on Missed Lectures (Podcast Ep 5) — catch up by triage and production: protect the current week, stub the backlog, run one High lecture, and open only tickets. Listen on SoundCloud · Listen on Spotify
  2. How to Retain Information From Video Lectures (Podcast Ep 4) — keep a lecture after one watch: a first-pass map, a same-day closed-book dump with timestamp tickets, and next-day retrieval before any replay. Listen on SoundCloud · Listen on Spotify
  3. How to Take Notes From YouTube Lectures (Podcast Ep 3) — build a one-screen exam page instead of a caption dump: Cornell cues, a verified timestamp column, a 15-minute pass with the player hidden, and a watch-page summary used only as a scaffold. Listen on SoundCloud · Listen on Spotify
  4. How to Make Flashcards From YouTube Lectures (Podcast Ep 2) — filter a lecture into keepers, write atomic cards with a gradeable answer and a timestamp, then review with the player closed. On-page Study cards for the first pass; Anki for the semester. Listen on SoundCloud · Listen on Spotify
  5. How to Study the Night Before an Exam (Podcast Ep 1): Lecture Triage — a 90-minute plan for the night before a midterm when the course is a stack of recordings: scope map, cut list, soft chapters, closed-book questions, then sleep. Listen on SoundCloud · Listen on Spotify

The written version of episode 5 is how to catch up on missed lectures with YouTube. The written version of episode 4 is how to retain information from video lectures. The written version of episode 3 is how to take notes from YouTube lectures. The written version of episode 2 is YouTube lecture to flashcards. The written version of episode 1 is the night-before YouTube lecture triage. If you still have several days before an exam, start with the exam-week skim instead of the one-night cap.

New episodes will be listed here. The show stays practical: what to watch, what to skip, and what to produce with the player closed.
