Podcasts are radio. Clubhouse is radio. We keep reinventing radio and packaging it as something else and then we're surprised when it works. Of *course* it works! Radio dominated media for decades.

There's probably a difference in how we're thinking of it. What I had in mind was the People Discussing Current Events genre of podcasts, where large fan communities emerge (such as the ones on Reddit emerge) and people talk about the hosts as much as the specific episodes.
Perhaps more of what I mean is that engagement around the same sort of content in written form seems to stick to the subject matter, whereas the audio format also tends to generate discussion about the hosts themselves
