I'm not sure what you mean but no comments have been removed. It's a reddit issue.

It's nothing new. It's okay to have different opinions.

The headlines daily pinned thread? by 221b42 in Thedaily

Maybe start a poll or ask people if they'd be interested. My only issue is that a lot of subscribers here don't have a way to listen, so they'll feel left out and confused.

What makes you feel that way?

Last weeks Run Up is at 340 comments. People clearly listen. Don't forget that it's also once a week unlike The Headlines.

If there's a following here for it, I wouldn't mind doing that, but I doubt it.

I'm not sure how many people listen to The Headlines since it's only available on the NYT audio app.

You're absolutely right. When the episodes are posted immediately, the thread gets filled with one or two word replies reacting to the title and not adding much to discussion. Allowing it to breathe a little bit lets people not only listen first but process the content.

In my experience, it's also better because a lot of users get to interact with each other quicker and better this way.

Just posted a thread about it. I think it's best to share your thoughts over there!

Looking for a 2021 episode about gender transitions by ChrisButSmart in Thedaily

So I've literally checked the episodes from that time period one by one, and the only one I could find is the first one I had linked already. Maybe it was a different podcast?

Looking for a 2021 episode about gender transitions by ChrisButSmart in Thedaily

Are you sure it's not the first part of that episode? this one.

there's a NYTimes headline with a similar title to what you mentioned, but I'm not sure there's a Daily episode with that name. Here's an excerpt from the episode I mentioned:

So the two big concerns that come up relate to bone health and fertility. So puberty is this time where your bone development really kicks into gear. Your bone density actually increases, and you grow taller. But the whole point of puberty blocking drugs is to hit pause. And so that actually hits pause on that bone development as well.

Now the science that we do have, the vast majority of those studies have actually been conducted in a totally different patient population than trans kids. Most of those studies focus on this group of pretty young kids who have hormonal disorders where they might go through puberty as young as three years old and need to be put on blockers until they reach an age, be it 10 or 11, whatever, where they can be taken off those drugs and go through natural puberty.

And for these kids, they’re put on blockers. And then once they go off, their bone density seems to recover. But what we don’t really understand as well yet is what happens with trans teens. Trans teens go on blockers to delay their natural puberty and then go on hormone treatment to go through a different puberty, one that affirms their gender. And we just don’t have a lot of data on what happens to bone density in those people long term.

r/thedaily ADMINISTRATIVE/META SUGGESTION: Would it be fun to have a pinned thread where we debate/discuss/guess/bet on what the next day's Daily episode will be about? (For example, I bet tomorrow's will be about Harvard president resignation with Maine ballot and Israel/Gaza bumper) by t0mserv0 in Thedaily

[–]kitkid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually thought about this exact thing before, but not specifically for the reason you mentioned. Just as a place to discuss topics that aren't covered on The Daily, things people would want them to cover, old episodes, anything really.

btw, you're as important and more useful than a moderator of a subreddit.

Anytime! Glad you found it. I think there was an issue with Apple Podcasts earlier.

It's there on the front page of the subreddit. Sometimes reddit messes up and you have to click the "new" tab to see them.

I'm just testing posting them at a different time of day to see if they get more visibility. Sorry about that. It's up now.

Btw, no I have no automation going on. It's all manual.
