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 listened to one episode of a podcast that was repped by the McElroys called minority corner. I blocked most of it from my memory but it was a couple of 20 something PMC types yas kweening over the Obamas while excusing the missteps of Biden and trashing Bernie. Not good but I'm sure there are many pods like it.
I've tried listening to a couple of their various podcasts and I can't stand any of their voices
still don't know how they'll recover from I think TF calling them "the soy brothers funko pop review hour"
