Maybe the start of the episode descriptions should be the post’s current karma at the time of automated upload (to help people decide what to read) and then the start of the post’s text (for the same purpose), rather than always “Welcome to the Nonlinear Library...”
Maybe the start of the narration could include the karma?
I also think some very brief intro and/or outro seems worthwhile, in part so I know that one episode has stopped and another has begun (as the narrator’s voice is always the same and the cadence doesn’t signal stopping or starting). But a shorter intro/outro might be better, e.g. just “Welcome to the Nonlinear Library. This is [title] by [author], published on [site]”, or that but without the first sentence.
Is there a way to have this feed sorted by some rough sense of value?
Likewise is there a way to trim the intro off the episodes.
Somewhat similar ideas:
