I listen, his podcast is a great way to fill my commute. Here is what I think he does well: -Give people room to "breathe" and get a sense for who a person is in every day life -Expose a broader point of view/marketplace of ideas than the average media outlet -seems to promote a general sense that everyone should strive for self improvement -improve discourse for dissenting points of view Here are some things that he doesn't do so well/don't like so much -Can be one note(you need to do psychedelics/ayahuasca/intermittent fasting/twitter tribes) -He touts that the long format is there to allow for nuance, but often there is not said nuance in the interview. -Most times things wont be a deep dive. I think that in terms of podcasting he has some of the most interesting guests to me, but I understand its not for everyone. I think Marc Maron is more of a traditional version of radio on demand format, and he has some good shows as well, but I find him more hit and miss. Sometimes Marc can be a bit exhausting to listen to when he is in an especially doom and gloom mood. It seems like he is fast becoming a lightning rod for the far left, whom he is critical of.
