TL;Dr cheap tests are sensitive enough to drastically reduce spread.

Premise of the podcast is that at home testing that could be made for a $1 and results in a few minutes could drive down infections since it would limit spread. This would mean testing daily or weekly in hot-spot areas. By the time you feel bad enough to get a test, your infectiousness is waning.
