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
The episode I listened to about it (back when I was a lib, im so sorry) literally began with an audio recording of some reporter getting a burger in a drive thru to demonstrate the country’s economic success. They tried to end the ep with a “was it worth it?” question after talking about Pinochet being… well… Pinochet, but the prior hour of idolizing the architects behind the coux government made the answer they’d give pretty clear
The pro West Wing podcast that always has Pete Buttigieg on it (guess that’s a bit of an obvious answer but still)
Also a lot of True Crime stuff makes me feel uneasy, especially when they go straight from talking about some teenager who has been brutally murdered or whatever to an ad read for dollar shave club.
a bajillion years ago when I was in my early 20s I used to slightly be in to entrepreneur shit and I used to listen a podcast called smart passive income where this guy brings on grifters to tell you about their grift but usually after the window on it already closed
I thought Serial season 3 as pretty good - pretty bleak look at the broken legal system in the US.
Matt Christman telling the hosts Iran should have a nuke.
Is this a bit? I read Felix said this on Lovett or Leave It but it got cut.
Yeah no, I believe you for sure. I was just wondering if it was an open bit by the Chapo boys to try to shoehorn that in when they get invited to lib shows.
