I really like the idea. In fact this is in keeping with the spirit of the idea I submitted a couple of weeks ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6201511 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6201511). It didn't pick up much traction at the time but I know (as this submission demonstrates) that the issue is one many members of the HN community would like to see addressed. Part of the issue lies in the fact that HN is essentially a loose collective of special interest groups. Show HN submissions are competing not only with Main stream news (as you suggest) but also the large variety of other submissions ... and visa versa. I genuinely think that a curated summary (in whatever form it may take, whether that be directory, ezine or podcast) from a couple of interesting people with different opinions would infer so much value to the HN community. Keep posting!
