A place to talk about podcasts on Farcaster.

Podcasts

I generally don't mind ads and recognize them as a necessary evil (for now! 👀) for many creators, but the kind that really grinds my gears is "an interview with the founder of"-style.

Feels so slimy and disingenuous, scripted softball questions being passed off as genuine content 👎👎

PSA: please don't!

Data scientist. Interested in most of the kinds of things that job implies, among others.

Just want to be clear/explicit here!

I'm specifically referring to sponsored interview segments (ads), typically 1-5 minutes long in the *middle* of an episode about a *different* subject/topic!

I very much enjoy an interview format, but only when it's organic (and the subject of the episode rather than an ad!)

Huh interesting. I have a totally different view on this. Perhaps because I’m most familiar with this format from the Acquired podcast which I think extremely highly of. Some things that I like are: it’s a company usually relevant to my interest and the interview is split up between all the episodes in a season

Not a legal expert, but if it's not, it should be!!

I think if the creator is getting paid to do an a rosy interview, that’s just wrong. Possibly illegal if it isn’t disclosed.
