is podcasting money so good that everyone in hollywood needs one of their own now? and then they all interview each other in a big circlejerk?

Marketing is a trillion dollar industry that can and often does eclipse the actual production budget

Conan transitioned to podcasting very successfully and everyone is chasing that. Tbh he got lucky with sona

podcasting does not necessarily earn you money but it is lucrative because of the exposure.

Do people even listen to all these copy-pasted podcasts? How the fuck do people find the time since they are all like 1 hour or longer.

>>213818898
The sole function of podcasts is to help pass the time during slow days at work, has been from the beginning

I blame Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey. Their podcast is a zero effort hugbox that people just liked because they already liked The Office, but everyone kept congratulating them and every celeb got convinced that making a good podcast was easy and they should just go for it without even an idea for what it should be.

Sona is the best part of Conan's content. Makes me sad that after he does she's probably not gonna continue in show business.

I thought Marc Mahon invented the format years ago?

>>213818898
Some of them are like fucking 2 hours go 3, I dont get it. Vapid circlejerk celebrity conversations are so lame and gay. It is the new late night talk.show cringe and by new I mean 15 years outdated

>>213818943
Was that really the beginning? Because I remember that moment as being a zenith of this phenomenon too

>>213818898
Work a mind-numbing job and you'll need something in the background for hours on end.

Adam Curry invented the format in the 2000s as a thinking man's alternative to radio

Theyre all narcissists so now that it's socially okay (status wise) for celebs to have podcasts they all hop on

>>213818940
And people wonder why their jobs are being automated away by third worlders and AI when their jobs were that easy and the country is run by bootstrap kikes

Guys Howard Stern literally beat all of these 21st century fags to the punch

>>213818823
>>213818966
why do you like her so much? because of the heavy chest or what? never listened

>>213819134
She's a stoner who literally doesn't care what other people think of her and is great at roasting Conan and Gorley.

>>213819195
>she's a stoner
That explains that non chalant nature and weirdly funny dispotion. sober I bet she's a bitch.

>>213819075
We know, dad. Damn millennials with their gadgets and gizmos.

>>213818794 (OP)
You assume money is the motivation rather than ego there's plenty of literal who nobody podcasters because the cost of entry is so low the biggest cost is associated with storing the data which companies like google do for free

>>213818966
She was best in small doses. Her hammy laugh wouldn't be so bad if she didn't force it on every minutely "humorous" thing someone said. Plus, she's old, fat and gross now so she's not the novelty she once was.

>>213818940
>slow days at work
I wonder what it's like to be a womana

>>213818794 (OP)
All their friends are doing it, they know it's low effort as fuck, and they get paid regardless of view count.

For me, it was the XFM/Ricky Gervais show.
Ricky, Steve and Karl are still the goat trio.

Even Opie & Anthony (and Jim Norton), arguably had only 2/3 + guests carrying the show.

>>213818898
i would imagine most can be watched at 1.25x or 1.5x speed
