. about why he doesn’t do podcasts. This helped me understand why I mostly don’t either. I’m boring and slow and awkward and if somehow you want to know what I think, read what I wrote, or ask me on twitter. (I do answer most twitter queries.)

I like it when the interviewer is skilled. They get me thinking in ways I wouldn't think by myself. If you think of it as information being extracted from you from thought processes at various stages of maturity, you will have this reaction.

I had very good podcast experiences with shane parrish, longform, econtalk among others.
I'm completely fine improv-shitposting orally on topics where my thinking is still taking shape. That's the point! People are boring where they've "finished" thinking.

I don't *listen* to podcasts because it's not a good input medium for me, but I get that a lot of people find it a good way to process stuff, especially in the background with partial attention. So the low density and redundancy/inefficiency actually helps them.

I am awkward and fumbling if the interviewer is bad, but can apparently be quite flowy entertaining when the interviewer is good... have received a lot of good feedback from people on the good ones
basically it's improv and the partnership has to be a good improv partnership
