I find myself wanting to pause the podcast, go do research, write down questions, and basically debate with the podcast but there isn't a format for that right now. NotebookLLM (horrible name) has been renamed to illuminate (less worse) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYfonzetUL4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYfonzetUL4 https://illuminate.google.com/home?pli=1 https://illuminate.google.com/home?pli=1 You might look into tools that can let the AI listen/read/watch and then allow you to converse with the podcast. I think in general, podcasts are pretty lousy format for learning, they are good for entertainment but not necessarily education unless the person speaking is really really good.

Illuminate seems useful for summarizing and repeating concepts from an article as a way to review, but it's form factor is still passive, which is not great for learning. Yeah it does seem like podcasts are not the best for learning content-wise either -- most interviews are under the surface a promotion for the interviewee's work and leave out pieces to make you want more info. At least I believe that's the dynamics of the interview podcast-system. Doesn't mean you can't learn from them and there's potential to make them better.
