Is there something like Netflix Party, but for podcasts? I want to listen to a show with someone virtually.

Someone needs to hire @JohnWest to do this for all podcasts
I've written before about the way I've been tagging all the books I read as I read them. Well, I added another couple books, and I generated this network graph. Then, I annotated it. The exercise taught me that (1) good tags are invaluable and (2) I read a lot of rom-coms.

This piece basically asks "what happens when podcasting stops producing [blockbuster shows everyone talks about]?" and also, has it stopped? Here's a thread with my thoughts. 1/ vulture.com/2022/09/podcasti…

The most interesting question here, IMO, is in paragraph 4: "What does it mean for podcasting as an art form if it rarely inspires widespread critical discussion?" My answer: We need more critical discussion (and that'll probably make more blockbusters happen). 2/

Attention! Revisionist History does this! BE LIKE THEM! share.descript.com/view/qnHB…
I've changed my mind about transcripts: I want to skip published text docs and go straight to every podcast publishing Descript-esque text/audio pieces. It would make writing criticism (and glossing other people's criticism) infinitely simpler.

On the "are podcasts over now" convo, this was a very interesting episode of Revisionist History about Will and Grace and TV and Netflix and experimentation and viewer numbers. pushkin.fm/podcasts/revision…

Also, how do I find out how many viewers a TV show had/has?
Maybe The Trojan Horse Affair got fewer listeners than S-Town because it was ... worse. Just saying.

This is a great thread
QUESTION for the twitterverse: On TV, people love fiction, especially scripted dramas. They prefer them to documentaries generally. But in audio, people prefer audio documentaries 10x more than scripted fiction series. WHY?
Replying to @JohnDonvan
@JohnDonvan and @caren_zucker, are there transcripts available for the podcast Autism’s First Child?
I wish I could break down all the podcast apps into little feature bricks and assemble my own super app like Legos

I love this idea

Adnan Syed was released thanks to Maryland's Juvenile Restoration Act, which lets courts reconsider juvenile convictions after a prisoner has served 20 years. If you want to learn more about the juvenile justice system, here are some podcasts I recommend.

My question remains: Has Becky Feldman listened to Serial?

Here is a thread of things that I wish podcasters and podcast apps would do to help me, a person who writes about podcasts. If you write about podcasts, what would make your job/life easier?

PODCASTERS: 1. Have a website 2. Publish transcripts & link to them in your show notes 3. Include robust credits that clearly state everyone's names & roles in your episodes 4. Publish your contributors' names and roles in/on your show notes, website, and transcript
