Please 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)
- podnami 7y agoGotcha! Not having creation date displayed was part space limitations, part the idea that we want to drive somewhat older episodes with high longevity. We will add a “classic” tag shortly for episodes older than x weeks to indicate that it’s not new content. Thanks for the feedback!
- capableweb 7y agoWhy 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.
- Can_Not 7y agoBecause there is a strong chance that if "Sam Altman Interview" is interesting to me, I'd like to know if it's an old Interview I've already heard or a new one I've not yet heard... And refusing to timestamp things calling them "timeless" reaks of arrogance and hubris.
- ghaff 7y ago>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.
