It’s mainly because we wanted to keep the episodes to ~20m, to make them easy for people to keep up with week to week—and the LW posts tended toward the more technical side, which doesn’t translate as easily in podcast form (it can be hard to take in without the writing in front of you). We may do something for the LW posts in future though, unsure at this point.
Kudos to Coleman Snell for the great podcast versions of these and for the rapid fire releases recently to catch up to the present week.
I was surprised he doesn’t include the LW Forum portion of this post in the podcast, but I guess that’s out of scope for what he’s trying to do?
Thanks for the feedback! I’ve passed it on.
