I'm half-joking, but I could use a "not just two guys joking around" tag. There's so many podcasts out there where I check them out because the topic sounds interesting but most of the episode time is given to 'two guys joking around'.

100% agree. And not just "the two guys joking around tag" but the "we recorded this in one take and then published straight from garage band." That would be a significant improvement over the podcasts discovery tools inside of every podcasting app. That make it a lot easier for any of the new shows coming out that are trying to be like a Radiotopia or Gimlet style show, to be discovered.
I agree, It's easy to waste a lot of time on these podcasts. I hope that over time with the voting, the best stuff rises to the top

#53Logo proposal: Pᴚ
Design suggestion: Lose the header
Re: Show HN: I made a Hacker News for podcasts
#54First impression (Macbook Air 11"): 2/3 of the page are header and filters, I can view only 2 posts at first glance. That's pretty different from the functional design of HN.
Yep that stood out to me too http://postimg.org/image/kho7l7pyl/

#55Immediately discovered at least a half dozen 'casts I was unaware of and will now listen to. Thank you!
Weirdly fascinating to see BBC Radio 4's long running agricultural soap 'The Archers' on the list.

#56It's halfway there for me - or at least, half of my expectations of what it would be. I was hoping it would be more along the lines of (or additionally) an HN for new podcasts. Over time, the front page will soon be a rotating list of the same selection of programmes, won't it?

Seconded!
Re: Show HN: I made a Hacker News for podcasts
#58Cool, I immediately registered and posted a link (The Ray Wenderlich podcast). Two suggestions though, iTunes, Google, etc. already have decently robust search around podcasts, do you have any plans to reach out to various dev communities (reddit, iOS, Rails, whatever) and getting them to come to you? And then I think the tag system is crucial, for instance tags can't be given a space and custom tags are much less likely to get lots of content then presets.
Awesome project!

Oh, when did you take that screenshot? That looks more compact than here: http://postimg.org/image/mcg0ql7ij/
