Conversation

Strikes me I’ve never “entered” a medium through the front door prescribed by playbooks. When I started blogging I read a bunch of blogging about blogging things and made sure to break almost every “rule”. Always sneak on through the ventilation ducts.

Keep it short —> I went long 2-3 posts a day —> I went 1/week Find a niche —> I went all over the place Network with other bloggers —> I mainly relied on book reviews to build up momentum Not a deliberate contrarian hack-the-pods-loop plan. I am just too lazy to stick to plans

I tend to sincerely start with a playbook, then slouch into the laziest adjacent schtick I think I can stick to and then add idiotic stuff for pure lulz Seems to work Wonder what that schtick could be for podcasting

Like one thing that immediately depresses the hell out of me is that interviews/2-person conversations seem to be a podcasting staple. No way in hell I have the energy to do that regularly. But then how do I avoid podcasts turning into me droning on in monotonous monologues?

I think you answered your own question. Unless you’re doing magazine show style pieces, it’s dialog or you invent something new

You could use light background music to theme sections, like headings in a blog post. But your writing is already masterful for challenging ideas/connections, use podcasts for a different experience (~live brainstorm, emotive rants, etc.), only things that wouldn't work in text.
