Audio podcasts where more than one person is speaking should not exist.
When more than 1 person is speaking it feels like making sure the listener awareness and information about the topic is not the priority, while podcasts where 1 person is speaking, prioritize the listener as the top priority with higher ability to explain and inform.
I know that interviews and talks is one genre of podcasts, but I feel like they should not exist as they are very illogical in order and they seem to not inform, educate or entertain probably.
Well that indeed is unpopular opinion. Every single podcast I listen to have more than one person talking. Most of them are interviews.
Though I don't understand why you think no one should be allowed to listen to them. I don't personally watch shorts for example but it doesn't bother me one bit if others do.
I think you are very wrong so have my upvote.
Although I agree I prefer one person vs interviews or conversation podcasts, these also have a place and "should not exist" is a bit too much
You’re listening to the wrong podcasts.
What are you listening to; could you give some examples?
Every actual play RPG podcast I've heard has tons of crosstalk. It doesn't bother me, but I could imagine it bothering some.
Ah. Yes. I can see that. Yes I don’t listen to those.
I’ve not seen … ha!… heard many news podcasts where there is cross talk.
Examples of one person podcasts or more than one person podcasts?
Not the same guy, but I'm curious as to what you consider a great one person podcast.
I can't do podcast with a single person talking. My brain gets bored and I stop paying attention (same issue with audiobooks)
You should play hell let loose. You could be talking to four different groups people at the same time.
- Proximity comms
- Squad comms
- Leadership comms
- And don't forget discord comms
Getting used to it is quite the adventure, because when something happens everybody starts talking at the same time
Here's my hot take: if you don't have decent microphones and microphone technique, and you aren't going to do a solid edit afterwards - don't make a podcast.
I don't want to have to crank my stereo up 2x it's normal volume to listen to some noisy, muffled mumbling.
I am with you here. I dislike it when interviewers interrupt too much. Or when there's a lot of crosstalk.
Also dislike it when a podcast does a "live event" or takes random callers. I usually skip those.
sometimes i just wanna feel like that kid eating the cereal next to the poster of the girls, if i wanted one person, i'd listen to an audiobook
Upvote because you've obviously never listened to Five Four Pod. Their banter is exquisite.
i wish i could listen to podcasts without getting annoyed by multiple people flapping their face holes
i'm interested in information, not some half ass commentary on the information
Interesting opinion! I really enjoy interview type podcasts like This American Life and The Hidden Brain, and those two wouldn't be possible without two people talking, as the interviewees wouldn't know how to shape the narrative for a podcast and the interviewer doesn't have the life experience of the person they are asking questions. Upvote for unpopularness!
I mean it's normally not a problem, just sometimes there's a person who tries to talk over everybody. Her name is Shereen Lani Younes.
