Jack is awesome. Btw, I must give credit to many in the HN community who have recommended this podcast so many time in various threads. On my own I would have never found it.

I wish they would write articles too.. I don't have the patience to listen to podcasts :) But I've been told it's really good.

A good podcast app may help. For slower podcasts, instead of speeding it up - which may chipmunk or otherwise cause artifacts - podcast addict trims silence. You may miss stuff below the gate threshold, but it is still slick.

I only listen to 2 podcasts, I don't really and have never really liked the format. I prefer reading with music or silence, and have always loved weblogs for that. However, it's worth a shot to find a podcast app that "clicks" with your style of input.

With podcasting 2.0, the new features should allow producers that don't want to be part of an ecosystem to still make some income, plus you get streaming album art where supported, and liner notes and all sorts of other goodies.

I think podcastindex has a list of compatible 2.0 podcasting apps, but I'm unable to check.

yeah it really is refreshing to hear a podcast for the masses that actually gets technical details correct. It's a pet peeve when people simplify it and get it really wrong.

He sometimes messes up the small details, but frankly they’re tiny enough that it doesn’t destroy the overall experience
