Podcasts were great before the same 25 people started interviewing each other on repeat, recycling their ice cold takes that they post on X all day on the same dusty podcasts as everyone else.

Is the only podcast with signal
I'm trying for zero hours of podcasts per week. It's been great.
lol.
im tellin ya..
humans trying to ossify things into comfort enclaves happens fast. π¨
It was cool when they interviewed the people who couldnβt be heard elsewhere. It was even better when they discovered new voices.
Preach
the great thing is, all of the root open source technologies that caused the new media disruption in the first place still exist, and can be run on a $5 vps. so not all is lost.
There's definitely an echo chamber in the podcast space
Lots of interesting people out there. Just have to ask the right questions.
@Plebchain Radio ποΈ in disbelief. π«’
Iβll @ you next time. lol
I donβt listen to Bitcoin podcasts right now. No shade itβs just not my wave.
I avoid interviews of podcasters by podcasters. And then favors the first interview of the series when a person's promoting their new book, etc. And ignore the other ones.
I hesr you. That's kind if why I started it. I'm tired of hearing the same stuff over and over.
Iβll give it a spin.
I've created a little series on my podcast called the PlebChat Series, where I interview fellow nostriches. There's a lot of interesting regulars here on Nostr, but despite them being active users, we know little about them. If you'd be interested on coming on the show let me know! I'd love to have you on.
You said it way better than I did. π
What did you say? Did I see a post of yours and get triggered and go off? That happens to me sometimes π
Oh no, I "deleted" mine on Amethyst at least. Some late night profanity laced comment about podcasters perking themselves off.
Someone could use a podcast that gives you what people desire the most, and not interviews. Tech, music, gaming... this is probably what people want nowadays.
Case in point....

Solo podcasts are way more difficult as a genre.
View quoted note β
It was easy when podcasts were more about general philosophy and critiquing the establishment. It's easy to effectively tear things down and not be dumb about it.
But now Podcast Bros (and the occasional Podcast Gal *cough* TRHL *cough*) have gained enough audience to where they're their own sort of establishment and have shifted towards prescriptive rhetoric.
And you know what?
Almost none of these people have built anything in the real world, and it shows.
There's a fine art between maintaining the stratrigic purity of a dream or goal and balancing it against the pragmatic realities imposed by the craziness and fractally-frothy unpredictability of the real world.
The podcast world is full of people who have never learned to do this effectively with serious skin in the game. It's this weird combination of trying to max out on purity points and making over-the-top compromises for minimal or unholdable gains.
It's become a new version of the intellectually-incestuous circle-jerk that traditional academia and the corporate press have been for ages, with the same zombie-level personality cults following along.
The Dave Smith vs. Douglas Murray debate? Both of them are unwatchable (unless you really have time to waste).
Itβs sad when you put it that way. π
They spend two hours repeating same thing that can be put in 140 characters :-) Books read by AI agents is far better bang for your time than listening to humans ranting !
Itβs just the evolution of something new. Evolution never goes in a straight line. Rothbard even wrote about this.
