Start the Insanity: Analyzing Seinfeld Based on Story Line Grades

S

For the past three and a half years, each week, I’ve been listening to the Seinfeld Recap Podcast. If you are unfamiliar with the podcast, each week, the hosts, Rob Cesternino and Akiva Wienerkur, recap one episode of Seinfeld. Our Seinfeld Recap heroes, Rob and Akiva, are closing in on the series finale and I wanted to do something special to commemorate the occasion. Starting in episode...

A Brief History of Hot Takes from The Seinfeld Recap Podcast

The Seinfeld Recap Podcast, hosted by Rob Cesternino and Akiva Wienerkur, is closing in on episode 150 of Seinfeld. At the time of this writing, they have released 147 episodes.

Seinfeld: A Metrics Driven Approach to Calculating the Best (and Worst) Writers and Guest Stars

S

Recently I wrote about calculating the “peak” season of Seinfeld. In that post, I ranked the seasons by computing a single metric based on the results of twenty top 10 and worst 10 episode lists that I collected from various online sources. In this post, I use the same sources to compute the answers to who are the best performing and worst performing Seinfeld writers and guest...

Calculating “Peak” Seinfeld

C

The Seinfeld Recap Podcast is one of my favorite podcasts on Post Show Recaps and if you’re a Seinfeld fan, I highly recommend it. Recently I wrote about how I extracted 20 questions from the The Seinfeld Recap Podcast. One of the hosts, Akiva Wienerkur, has ranked all 180 episodes of Seinfeld. In each episode, he lets us know where the episode falls in his rankings. In the last episode...

Digging for Questions: Audio to Text Analysis of The Seinfeld Podcast

It’s been almost three years, but I’m back again with another super nerdy blog post! I’ve written a lot in the past about different computer programs or stats stuff that I’ve written, usually related to programming competitions, ontologies, and CrossFit, but today, something a little different. I have been a big fan of Rob Has a Podcast and PostShowRecaps almost since...
