Make a course that arrives one lesson a day
Hand Reducer a topic and get a series of lessons that drip into your feed one episode at a time.
You want to learn something. AWS S3, the French Revolution, how options pricing works. The usual move is to find a course, save it, and never open it again. Twelve hours of video sitting in a tab. The intent was real. The follow-through died on contact with your calendar.
The problem isn’t you. It’s the shape of the thing. A twelve-hour course is a cliff. A ten-minute episode on your morning walk is a step.
So we built courses into Reducer.
Tell it what you want to learn. It writes the lessons and lines them up. Then it drips them, one lesson per episode, on whatever schedule your show runs. One a day, one a week, your call. You don’t binge it. You don’t manage it. It shows up in your podcast app, in order, the way a daily show does.
How it works
A course is a series of lessons that release one at a time.
Every show in Reducer runs on a schedule. A course rides that schedule. When the next episode is due, the course hands over the next lesson, voices it, and publishes. The episode after that gets the one after. A cursor keeps your place, so you never hear lesson three before lesson two, and you never get the same one twice.
When you reach the end, the course stops. Or loops, if it’s the kind of thing you want on repeat. That’s a setting.
The nice part is that none of this is special. It’s the same machinery that already runs daily devotionals and serialized shows on Reducer. A course is just a series that knows what comes next.
You don’t write the lessons
Reducer speaks MCP, so any AI assistant that connects to it (Claude, for one) can build the whole course for you. You say “make me a course on AWS S3, one lesson a day.” The assistant drafts the lessons, creates the course, attaches it to a show, and sets the schedule. You look it over. Done.
Want it longer? Ask for more lessons and they slot onto the end, even after the course is already running. The ones that went out stay out. The new ones wait their turn.
Share the ones worth sharing
A course you make can stay private to your own shows. Or you can publish it to the catalog, and anyone can add it to theirs.
When someone adds your course, they get their own place in it. They start at lesson one and move at their own pace, on their own schedule. Your progress and theirs don’t touch. One course, many listeners, each walking through it on their own clock.
