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
It's sad that they went from making good content to a mediocre podcast that was at first a Joe Rogan knockoff and has devolved into YouTube drama bullshit. And now he's best friends with Trish Paytas, who he used to hate? Yeah no thanks. I like Ethan and Hila but the podcast just sucks. I imagine he does it because it's less effort and more money.
