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

S/O to death is just around the corner. I feel like I don’t absorb half the shit he talks about because I’m too dumb/uncultured but a good podcast nonetheless.

Chapo. but thats mainly because I dont listen to many podcasts. It’s not bad but it’s not good either. I’ll be honest I have no clue how such a large sub spawned off of a generally middling podcast.

It dropped at just the right time to appeal to brain-broken 2016 libs like me

Chapo allows us to participate in a shoulder-punch kind of masculinity without feeling guilty about the politics that comes with it.

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.

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.

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