The clip tool uses timestamps to make downloadable MP3 files directly inside the Megaphone platform. These clips can be used to share a portion of a podcast on various endpoints such as social media channels or to create new RSS feeds for distribution on smart speakers.

Note: The clip tool is in its first version to gather feedback from users for future improvements.
