Oh, 99% of podcasts are just terrible. A fav show of mine started quite good, but now... 3+ hour interviews? Why? Because the interviewer just sits there like a sloth and listens to whatever the other party has to say, never interrupting. And from a 3 hour interview there is only (at best) 15 minutes of relevant information, the rest is filler. Even TED talks lately became terrible, I have nothing to tell or I tell you this basic thing packaged as some earth shattering insight in 10 minutes videos, like relevant information is somehow suppressed and just the nothingspeak stays. good curated content is needed, but goog's search is just plain terrible in this regard. seo optimized pages everywhere with useless recommendations. Sometimes I find a lot of shows with great content in some forgotten part of the Internet, but these cease to exist after a few episodes... maybe because they saw the initial numbers. and these good people will never come back to create more content, only the brave idiots stay in the arena :(. Common problems: - zero editing (respect your audience by cutting the slack and interrupt your interview subject if the discussions veers towards personal things). at least timecode topics in the description. the subject's personal life is only interesting if the person is well known, in the mainstream, or a good story teller, but most of them just like to talk and talk and talk. the interviewer's job is to interrupt the person and make him/her stfu and bring forth another, interesting subject. - interviewer sometimes is just an idiot, and just regurgitates what the other party has said with different words... mind boggling - interviewer can't ask proper questions, hard questions. the subject just sits there, like he paid for 3 hours of time and talks about offtopic things. - good shows drown after a few years or become routine for the creators. There is a podcast about security... it was also quite good in the beginning, but lately it's now all about all kinds of political shenanigans, geopolitics and the like. To be honest it's dead boring, the hell do I care about these high level shit stirring things? I want to hear some insights, expert opinions about the topic.
