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
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.
