Maybe we can distill the secret formula for what can make a podcast good if we discuss what can make them awful

EDIT: Gonna take a moment to shamelessly shill for my shitty, tiny podcast no one listens to - https://open.spotify.com/show/0herzR8g2CsOqI3o3aD4kA

I once tried to listen to Cumtown. After about ten minutes of multiple people trying and failing to remember a movie they’d recently seen, I gave up.

It’s bad. They’re all just laughing into the microphone the whole time. I’m pretty sure I burst an ear drum.

Same thing happened to me but my former friend was the person who made me listen to it because “it’s SO funny dude”. He showed me the Bill Maher bit where they say the N-word over and over snd he kept looking at me expecting me to laugh.

It has it’s moments if you like that kind of humor, but 90% is just inane stream of consciousness. And those moments basically 100% hinge on Nick. Adam contributes almost nothing besides being a human punching bag and Stav is just a live laugh track.
