oddly-s.bsky.social @oddly-s.bsky.social · 23/05/2026Not really... most podcasts are just the view/loose women tv show done in someone's garage for really easily offended chatty men that don't see that they are the biggest bitches on earth while they pretend to be top dog 000
stacycats @stacycats.bsky.social · 22/05/2026Why 90s? Why not the talk shows of the… 80s 70s 60s I mean what else was the point of AM radio. Smh. 000
Skippy @skipphead.bsky.social · 22/05/2026I find it odd when people don't like a particular podcast or style of podcast, they turn their nose up at the whole format. It's like saying "I heard a Justin Bieber song and I didn't like it so I am not a fan of music. " 100

LadyPup @ladypup.bsky.social · 23/05/2026YES! That's what I've been saying. And Netflix is now showing podcasts and I'm like "why?" I don't want to see someone talking into a microphone for an hour. It's like going to a DJ and watching him put on a record every 4 minutes. Who cares? Ugh! 120
chicken2little.bsky.social @chicken2little.bsky.social · 22/05/2026They sharpen listening skills. I used to have my students listen to old radio talk shows so that they would listen intently. 000
AJ Nyx (she/her) @ajnyx.bsky.social · 23/05/2026I thought everyone realized this back when the iPod & podcasts were new. Everyone I knew just still called them talk shows, with no distinction. Many of the radio talk shows that are still around are now branded as podcasts, even if they're still on the radio sometimes (like NPR). 000

Gary White - GameDev @invidious.bsky.social · 23/05/2026My rule is that I only listen to podcasts with one host. That way they have to rely on content. If there is a second host, it instantly becomes 80% chitchat. 001

A Voice in Detroit @thevoiceindetroit.bsky.social · 23/05/2026I've been in radio for 40 years. No difference between podcasting and talk radio whatsoever. In fact some of the same people who brought you radio are now producing the very podcasts you're listening to. The only difference is the medium. The content is identical. 010
Carl Pavlock @carlpavlock.bsky.social · 23/05/2026This is very easy to disprove with the multiple narrative podcasts that are more like the radio serials of decades prior. 020
Steven W. Hunt @ninjinister.bsky.social · 23/05/2026I'd say worse now, because in addition to hearing uninformed opinions on things like politics, sports, and finances, now you have the same thing but about Dragon Ball Z and cold cases. 000
