- dntrkv 4y agoIt depends on the interview but most of his discussions are genuinely unique. Who else is doing relatively in-depth, multi-hour conversations with people at the top of their fields? Rogan is the only one that comes to mind, but he doesn’t have the depth of knowledge that Lex has. Sometimes Lex infuriates me, but again, there is nobody else doing what he does and in general, he does a good job of asking interesting questions even when it’s far outside of his area of expertise.
- ghaff 4y agoThere's something to be said for being specialized. Multi-hour discussions aren't my thing but, as you say, some number of people apparently really like a longer lightly-produced format so it's got a decent niche.
- newaccount74 4y agoPeople with long commutes is my guess. I listened to lots of podcasts when it took me longer to get to work. Now that my office is just a 15 minute bike ride away, I don't bother listening to podcasts any more.
- ghaff 4y agoPodcasts are definitely in the car things for me. If I'm doing something at home, I find them distracting and don't have any real interest in background talking. If I want some sound, I'll put on music.
