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?
Consuming information distracts you from producing work. Similar to watching television, reading newspapers, and browsing internet.

#73Top past week and Top last month have the exact same content, guess it's because the content in the site is new?
Re: Show HN: The best technology podcast episodes
#74I love podcasts and I'm glad for any service that helps me find useful content. That said, I'm not quite getting how I'm supposed to be using this.
From a consumer viewpoint, I have a front page recommending episodes and a weekly summary. I get that, cool.
Now if I want to heart episodes to tell other listeners about episodes I particularly enjoy...I go to the website and search/submit the episode...I guess?
Anyway, I'm interested - I just wanted to share my first impression in case it was useful.

#75This is like pop music. The guests are all the people I'm supposed to admire but I don't feel anything.

Bullshit, I listen to podcast while working all the time and it doesn't affect my productivity

#77Since there is relatively little information on the linked page, I'll put some questions I have here.
1. How does it work? It would appear the list is user curated. New submissions are from users (via submit) and ranking is based on hearts? Is there any future plan to be able to associate # of plays with a given episode (not sure if podcast app apis allow this).
2. In relation to #1 (an asked already by others), how can I subscribe to this in my podcast app?

#78Recently 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
Solid stuff! Just what I have been looking for!
Re: Show HN: The best technology podcast episodes
#79Please 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.
>good content and discussions, they'll be timeless.
It really depends on the topic.
Something like 99 Percent Invisible is pretty evergreen. An interview about AI research? Something from a few years ago is probably going to be a bit dated unless it's about fundamental principles. A podcast that deals primarily with current news/politics/etc.? I'm probably not going to be interested in something a year old.
Re: Show HN: The best technology podcast episodes
#80Unclear how it is best, according to who/what? Nearly all good podcasts I know aren’t there at all.
