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.

    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

    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 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

    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.

    You’re listening to the wrong podcasts.

    What are you listening to; could you give some examples?

    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.
