I’ve been a long-time listener of Wondercraft’s HN Recap podcast.[1] Lately, though, I’ve felt the format has become a bit too rigid: every episode follows the same structure (real-world implications, technical analysis, etc.), sometimes missing the main point of the original post or discussion. Given how good current models are, I’d expect better summaries and synthesis.
What’s your favorite podcast for keeping up with Hacker News? Recommendations for daily tech news podcasts that focus on interesting, non-mainstream stories are also welcome.
I even built an offline podcast playlist tool[2] to compare different options, but I still haven’t found anything that consistently does a better job.
