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 a podcast called “Why Didn’t They Laugh?” once, because it was supposed to be about when comedy bombs. It was, however, hosted by Owen Benjamin who is one of the most genuinely insane people I’ve ever come across. I listened to 2 minutes of him ranting about how Muslims can’t integrate into western culture and never went back to it.
