Reading the submission headline, I thought this might generate the podcast using comments.

I've found myself wanting to listen to HN comment threads, as I'm one of those people who derives more value and entertainment from the comments than I do from the actual submissions a lot of the time! I envision a voice-controlled way to navigate through threads too. Basically an accessibility narrator on steroids.

I wonder if anyone else has ever been interested in something like this. Getting good voices to read like this podcast would make it that much more fun, so thanks for getting me really hot and bothered :)

Guess if no one does it soon I'll have to build it myself!
