Learning not to trust the All-In podcast (passingtime.substack.com)
My coworker and I enjoy having debates about whether the American economy is in the express lane to collapse or cruising in the good times (I’m really fun at parties). For the two-and-a-half years I’ve worked at my current company, one of us has been a bull while the other has been a bear. I’ll let you guess which one is me.

Build an Interactive Text-to-Podcast Experience with GPT-4o Real Time API (2024) (aymenfurter.ch)
We’ve all been there — you have an article or a training you want to dive into, but your day is packed, and you just can’t seem to fit it in. Much of the content we consume daily is only available in one format. It might be a YouTube video, an article, or a podcast. However, the form of content often depends more on the author’s preference than on the nature of the topic itself.

Rebar and Reinforced Concrete (leancrew.com)
A recent episode of the 99% Invisible podcast, “Brilliantly Boring,” covers a topic near and dear to my heart: reinforced concrete—more specifically, the rebar that does the reinforcing. The show does an excellent job in a short period. I just want to fill in some details.

NotebookLM's automatically generated podcasts are surprisingly effective (simonwillison.net)
Audio Overview is a fun new feature of Google’s NotebookLM which is getting a lot of attention right now. It generates a one-off custom podcast against content you provide, where two AI hosts start up a “deep dive” discussion about the collected content. These last around ten minutes and are very podcast, with an astonishingly convincing audio back-and-forth conversation.
