80K podcast discussion threads.

Feature request: discussion threads on episodes of the 80k podcasts.

I consistently generate a lot of thoughts listening to the 80k pocast. I could imagine leaving these as comments, reading others thoughts, and identifying cruxes. To further steelman the need of podcast threads: the 80k podcast is the most widely consumed, indepth media produced in the EA sphere at the moment.

Episode highlights tend to be shared under this account, which might be a good place to leave thoughts.

Just FYI: feature suggestions for the Forum could also go on the Forum feature suggestion thread. (I'm not sure if this is meant to be a feature request for the Forum or for 80,000 Hours, though! If it's the latter, you might want to get in touch more directly.)

That's totally it, thanks for flagging, I have not seen these previously (not sure why).

Anyone can create a linkpost for an 80k episode. Though it might be extra convenient to have a way to automatically create a linkpost with a pre-filled summary of the linked page and a top-level comment with your thoughts.

Couldn't the comment section under the episode announcement posts (like this one) serve the same purpose? Or are you imagining a different kind of discussion thread here?

That is preciously what I am looking for. I feel a bit silly now, because I haven't noticed these previously. 

FWIW, @80000_Hours I think the formatting "[#Ep] [podcast title]" is a much better title/formatting than how they were linked previous to the last episode.
