Not surprised on this, I think the rise and demise of clubhouse predicted both behaviors. Long form audio “rooms” require constant attention to follow. I listen to podcasts when running or driving, but not as a short “distraction”. Extrapolation Leads me to believe that there’s probably not a big enough market for big players like Facebook.
- wand3r 4y agoI really like Call In, David Sack’s new offering. Its basically a slightly better version of clubhouse that uploads the show to a host after it ends. Much better experience for me because I can listen to interesting people and discussions and if I was moved to participate I could show up to the live version
- mikepurvis 4y agoI'm not a huge podcast consumer, but definitely my favourite ones that I've listened to are carefully scripted and edited down so that they feel tight and content-dense. I lose patience with ones that feel like a talk show, especially if it's more than 2 people having a meandering conversation with each other, cutting off and interrupting, etc. That kind of content is okay live, especially in a venue like a Twitch stream where you can actually participate in the mayhem. But as a recording? I end up just changing to something else.
- wand3r 4y agoThats fair. The ones i mostly listen to are David Sacks, Antonio Garcia Martinez and Glenn Greenwald. I am so so on Greenwald tbh. The formats are mostly the same though, they are usually a topic based discussion or standard interview and at the end the open for questions. So its kind of like your standard recode interview or Ted style interview. Its less like clubhouse where it just feels like an awkward discord channel. I do agree, i dislike the clubhouse format and the meandering multi person conversations that dont have a direction
