Thanks for pointing this out. I think there is a possibility for both preserved, text-based comments to exist alongside live, audio-based discussions. I wouldn't want the HN experience being degraded by not being able to access relevant discussions about posts in the future, but I think those who are deeply interested could benefit from the ability to speak live about posts with others (including the OP) in a more intimate and fast-paced setting. The roundtable for this post is a great example. There have been some super valuable comments in this thread as well as great discussions held in the audio chat room (except for the rick-roll, that is!).

Yeah I’m pretty sure there’s something really cool that could be built around this. There’s a lot of variety possible. Brian host of Techmeme Ride Home Podcast has been experimenting with an occasional open table type discussion on Twitter Spaces and Clubhouse to discuss some of the topics and trends that pass through the daily podcast. He does the show with Chris Messina (inventor of the Twitter hashtag usage). It’s similar in concept to what you’re doing, I’ve been enjoying listening, it’s been cool to see / listen to them build the show format in public. Here an example show that I linked to from my linkblog recently: https://links.markjgsmith.com/archives/html/2021/04/#89f19226-ba67-4ccd-b3df-3d943780cd81 https://links.markjgsmith.com/archives/html/2021/04/#89f1922...
