Hacker News Podcast is back

It's unauthorized/unofficial. We could possibly make that clear in the /about page, though I think people are probably used to it from the many HN* projects around.

The show is certainly aiming to be based around HN though, not just a general tech show riding on HN's name. Guests are HN regulars and stories are those popular on HN.

Judging by the about section, I'd go with they aren't authorised.

While not run/authorized/curated by YC, there was a community-wide discussion about the want/need for a podcast of this sort, and the community seemed to answer with a resounding "yes." Hijacking is the wrong word, it's a podcast about HN, so the name is simply relevant.

Although I guess they could be more clear about the "no affiliation" thing.

Oh, I think I said that. I think its probably 99% accurate, and I find it's easier to speak in absolutes, rather than ruin something with disclaimers, esp. on something like a podcast.

Sure, I'll ask Alex (the original HNpodder) to make it clear.

Also, the title of the podcast is HNpod and certainly no "the" in it. So it would be more like "SOPod" than "The StackOveflow Podcst".

Shownotes are a good thing, will do my best. Knowing the time commitment to podcasts, I'm gradually working with a virtual assistant to outsource as much as possible, in order to make the show sustainable. There's a training overhead there which means it will be a few weeks before we can realistically do something like this.
