At the Times, a Podcast Club. Last Wednesday, the New York Times quietly published a fascinating interactive titled “9 Podcast Episodes Worth Discussing,” which served as a tiny door into a much broader enterprise: a digital listening club, one that’s being largely conducted over a moderated Facebook group where new podcast episodes of concern are posted every Monday for members to discuss in long, threaded comments sections. Its open to the public, and at this writing, the group is fast approaching 10k members.
That's a pretty interesting idea, except that I have absolutely no desire to be one of 10K people in a discussion group.
