Hello Codeforces

Podcast Link

I am excited to present to you a podcast created solely for learning Competitive Programming for fun. Whether you're driving to work, brushing your teeth, or laying in your bed, this podcast will be an educational experience where you'll be thought-provoked in a low-stakes setting.

This first episode up on the podcast is about String Hashing, a high division concept, but very fun to learn about. I recommend skipping a bit of the beginning and listening at 1.5x speed, but suit yourself!

A bit about the lecturer: I am currently in the USACO Gold Division and am working towards Platinum (current highest score: 400) and hopefully even further.

Thanks for listening, Rithwik :))

Disclaimer: This podcast is the audio version of in person lectures I do for my high school's CP Club. Although I am thinking of the podcast when lecturing, in the end being in person would be better. But, on that note, if you have any questions feel free to send me a message on codeforces with any questions!

Make podcast of CPers talking about random topics not just algorithms, that would be cool!

    What exactly do you mean? Like talking about how to practice and those types of topics?

      maybe smthn like the life of a cper, and the challenges and benefits that come along with it. Usually, podcasts are free flow conversation to learn more about the guest and what they specialise in. Not just technical knowledge of their profession. And i would prefer the former as well, though its still possible to talk about algorithms in depth.

      Nah nah, we can get some known members of the community and let’s say they are interested in literature or puzzles and then few such CPers chat about this. Just having the community would interact outside CP.
