Hacker News with Generative AI: Podcasts

Cracking the Dave and Buster's Anomaly (rambo.codes)
I was listening to an episode of one of my favorite podcasts this weekend. The show is called Search Engine, and every episode tries to answer a question that can’t be easily answered through an actual search engine (or even AI).

Someone Said It to Joe Rogan's Face (theatlantic.com)
Recently, I felt a great disturbance in the world of podcasts, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in horror and were suddenly silenced. Someone had been on Joe Rogan’s show and pointed out that getting your opinions entirely from stand-up comics, Bigfoot forums, and various men named Dave might not be the optimal method for acquiring knowledge. Rogan fans were appalled at this disrespect.

Ask HN: What podcast episodes changed the way you think about startups? (ycombinator.com)
I am asking for episodes here and not the entire podcast.<p>I feel like there are a lot of podcasts and in case of audio is very hard to find specific episodes that are really good or skim their content to assess if it is high-quality.<p>I want to improve or better say upgrade my general knowledge about business/marketing/sales/startups.

Tech and Non-Tech Stacks to Run Listen Notes (2025) (listennotes.fm)
I wrote about the tech stack of Listen Notes in early 2018 (with a slight update in 2019) in a blog post that got shared several times on Hacker News. It’s 2025 now, and with the evolution of our product lineup, my mindset, and technology itself (plus the decay of outdated tools), I think it’s time for a refresh.
