#62Why do so many podcast apps or services cut off titles with ellipses. So annoying. Please stop!
Came here to say that. On mobile there is no way to read the full title of an episode. No detail page, no click through to the original post.

#63Please show podcast date; I appreciate you need to bootstrap signups by having Sam Altman on your front page but the product is not just useless but actively wastes my time when I can't tell if this is new content. (The Sam Altman interview is from Nov 2018 and this info is concealed by podnami)
Why this obsession with "newness"? If the podcast is crap because nothing they are talking about is new enough, then maybe you're better of not listening to it. If it's good content and discussions, they'll be timeless.
Because there is a strong chance that if "Sam Altman Interview" is interesting to me, I'd like to know if it's an old Interview I've already heard or a new one I've not yet heard...
And refusing to timestamp things calling them "timeless" reaks of arrogance and hubris.
Re: Show HN: The best technology podcast episodes
#64Understand others may have differing opinions but I for one never understood podcasts. They seem a very inefficient way to consume information, with generally a very low signal to noise ratio. I can see an attraction while driving, but I don't do that so don't have that problem. The only one I can remember listening to and enjoying in the past was related to roguelike development, and was essentially more of a well c…
Voices. Music. Emotions. Whimsy.
Try this episode of "The Memory Palace": http://thememorypalace.us/2012/12/dreamland/
That's four minutes twenty-five seconds you might find not wasted. And none of the information in it is likely to be useful to you whatsoever.
I listen to podcasts while I'm doing the dishes, cleaning the floor, cooking, tidying the house, sewing patches, reseating the heatsink onto a GPU. No need to be driving.
Pop songs are usually an incredibly inefficient way to consume information too, but I listen to those a lot. I wonder if you do.

#65How is this "HN for tech podcasts"? Are there comments somewhere that I can't see? I would love it if there were a way to annotate/comment on specific statements in podcasts, because I think podcasters (and their guests) get away with saying untrue things more than people who write blog posts/articles.
It's super easy to tweet out a quote and evidence that it was false. There is much more friction involved in quoting a podcast, noting the time stamp, and packaging that up with evidence in a tweet. Wish there were an easier way!

I wouldn't go directly for the untrue things but it would be nice to have a place to specifically discuss podcasts with a nice interface to point out to excerpts (with transcripts it would be even more cool.)
One option now is to use the clip sharing tool in Overcast and tweet out the clip, it works really well. But that is just one client.

#67Earlier quoted context omitted.
Others feel differently, as podcasting is a multi billion dollar industry
Sure, but so are tabloid newspapers, glossy magazines and junk food. (Edit: These are other examples of billion dollar industries that equate to low quality experiences you can choose to give yourself, but which will have longer term implications.)
That's such a BS comparison. What's the negative externality of listening to podcasts?

#69Recently noted down my favorite podcasts I love. It's a bit hard to keep up at times even with 2x/2.5x speeds and smart speed on with Overcast. There's so much good content out there. https://wiki.nikitavoloboev.xyz/podcasts
Your whole site is a rabbit hole! Nicely done.

#70For the german speaking audience, i can recommend the interview mit Marco Börris.
It's quite long (>6h) but absolutely worth the time.
