I've dropped so many podcasts where the title was promising an interesting topic, but then inside it's just these dudebros rambling about nothing. I don't understand how some of these podcasts have so much popularity.

It's a stable opportunity because of para social people.

I stopped listening to Second Wind's podcasts because of this. 1h45 on a topic I'm interested in? Amazing! Turns out half of it is the hosts catching up with each other and reading chat.

I'm the same way. I don’t mind tangents that lead up to, or remain adjacent to, the primary topic. But if they get into small talk I'm out.
