Just please, please, please, don't BS in an unscripted manner for the first 5 minutes. Get to the meat.

- mmahemoff 14y agoGreat point. I get that people want to inject some personality, but listener's time is precious and there's enough "what did you have for breakfast" shows out there! I like podcasts which leave the chitchat to the pros and let their personality and views shine through the content you're covering. (With the exception of those where they can actually pull off banter and comedy well. IMO The Verge is one such podcast.)
- tgrass 14y agoSeconded. Roberts at EconTalk is a great model for how to avoid this.
- AlexMuir 14y agoI absolutely agree with this. Hopefully with different guests each week it becomes easier to start with who people are, rather than some inane nonsense.
