It's another brain-buster. In this episode, Kenny has Ben Varnum from Omaha on the podcast. Ben Varnum gives a general introduction, a report on how he's done at some recent regionals, and then launches into his true love, which is apparently combining his two esoteric hobbies (IA and chess) into one MASSIVELY esoteric thought-paradigm.
Ben discusses how he thinks certain chess concepts map onto IA and what players can understand about the best game in the universe from one of the better games in the universe. The episode runs a bit long, but it will be well worth your time.

Have you changed something? (Or maybe it was due to this one bing much longer than the previous ones.)

This episode doesn't seem to be streamable - you need to download the whole file before it can be decoded, because the mdat chunk in the m4a appears before the chunks with the encoding parameters.

(You can convert with ffmpeg -i file.m4a -c:a copy -movflags faststart file2.m4a to move the mdat chunk to the end.)
