I don’t think I’m going to do this yet, but thinking about it. Might also be a better way to handle child device restrictions.

New local literary magazine in the area! I’ll try to get down to Transom next weekend to pick one up.

I like this and want this for all podcasts I listen to. In particular Conversations with Tyler.
It strikes me that this may be a good use of local AI models: Have a recurring job to monitor a podcast feed, pull down the transcript of it (or generate one on the fly with Whisper), list the recommended books from that episode, and stitch together a feed of just the book recommendations.
Here is the creator’s blog post about it: https://sippey.com/2025/08/26/three-books-dot-net.html
This is the kind of AI use I prefer: Fast information processing on something that would be very tedious and not fun for a human. Writing a custom parsing script for different episodes would be tedious and fragile, too. Keep the fun creation for humans, leave tedious processing to the bots.

Good reminder to delete the social apps, put down the phone, turn off the podcast or audiobook and be bored.

Likes What’s up with sci-fi publishing? by .
This resonates with me. I’m having trouble finding new non-fantasy sci-fi to read these days, too. I’ll have to dig more into smaller, boutique publishers. Any recommendations?
