Is podcasting a uniquely Anglo-American phenomenon?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 13th, 2024 10:46 AM Author: Vibrant library legend I find there's no one in other countries that really do this, at least not the way we do. There's no French Joe Rogan for example. They have podcasts in other languages but they're never any good. The French are still really into terrestrial radio for some reason. You would think some sort of podcasting star would emerge around the world but the anglosphere seems to be the only place this really happens. US and UK are the only countries really crushing the podcast game. Why? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5528040&forum_id=2#47657524) |

There's no Anglo Joe Rogan, either, as "Rogan" is an Irish surname. |
Date: May 13th, 2024 10:49 AM Author: Beady-eyed chapel laser beams maybe it's because we're so large that terrestrial radio is ineffective. to reach the entire country you'd have to be syndicated. back in the day there was often local radio talent that is pretty similar to your average podcaster. but now that those people can reach the entire market and not have the red tape that comes from radio, why wouldn't they? small anglosphere countries like the uk just follow our lead.

Date: May 13th, 2024 11:01 AM Author: Vibrant library legend I've been listening to a lot of French radio broadcasts uploaded onto YouTube and it's all fucking garbage. They don't have any great long form interviews with notables. They seem to not care at all about audio quality and have heinous room reflections and don't have dedicated podcasting rooms.
They fucking obsessed with aliens and Atlantis. It's really retarded and gay. I can't sit through this shit at all. How do they not have one famous independent podcast interviewer? |

i don't know any males who listen to "podcasts" that shit is goofy and retarded as fuck |

Date: May 13th, 2024 11:58 AM Author: Beady-eyed chapel laser beams the #1 podcast by far is joe rogan, which has a male dominated audience.
#3 is acquired, #4 is kill tony, #7 is tucker, #9 is theo von.
podcasts are male dominated. the only ones with a majority female audience is birdbrain pods like call her daddy and true crime. comedy, culture, news, etc. are all male dominated. |

Date: May 13th, 2024 12:04 PM Author: Beady-eyed chapel laser beams matt and shane are really good. and there's several news ones i like.
how is listening to someone like matt and shane significantly different from listening to shit like howard stern and o&a back in the day? it's the same shit with fewer restrictions than terrestrial radio, available on-demand, and not as tethered to outdated "radio style" format. |

Date: May 13th, 2024 12:35 PM Author: Beady-eyed chapel laser beams semi-mindless humor has it's place. audiobooks are great but even if i'm paying close attention you aren't going to get the same thing listening to literature over reading it. and in a car i can't devote my full attention to something. so the options are either music or pods. same thing when i'm doing mindless chores around the house.
it's either music or pods. i like funny banter. it's not like i'm listening to this shit instead of doing something more productive. it's semi-mindless entertainment to listen to while you're doing other tasks. |

Date: May 13th, 2024 12:21 PM Author: Blue Aphrodisiac Mediation Podcasts are a cyclical thing. They had an upswing with the pandemic, but it's already dying off. In 2 years nobody will care about these nthings again. |
|
Date: May 13th, 2024 3:30 PM Author: Vibrant library legend I disagree. I think there's a strong appetite for the format. People like how it's unvarnished and unscripted. Saying podcasts are unpopular is like saying hanging out with friends and talking is unpopular.
It's such a better format than scripted news with an editorial angle and a time constraint and questions you're not allowed to ask. |

Date: May 13th, 2024 3:41 PM Author: Gaped box office I never really thought about it but I bet it does have to do with commutes, as mentioned upthread. When I had a long commute, I obsessively listened to podcasts and audiobooks.
The French are very idiosyncratic with tech anyway, it was not that long ago they shut down their proprietary modem/bulletin board system.

Shouldn't there be a German Joe Rogan and a Japanese one and one from Spain? Surely other countries must have 3 hour long interview podcasts and big podcasting stars. Our country has so many. I know FizzKidd listens to Jap radio. Any Japanese podcasts? |

Date: May 13th, 2024 3:41 PM Author: provocative toaster I don't understand who has time to listen to all these podcasts. I guess, like talk radio, it's good if you are commuting a lot or have an undemanding job where you can listen to stuff all day. I would sometimes listen to a podcast when I commuted but even then I got sick of it after a while. And my total commute time was shorter than the podcast time so I could never "catch up".

Date: May 13th, 2024 3:46 PM Author: Vibrant library legend Podcasts are 180. My favorites are political ones where people get into debates about controversial topics.
Club Shay Shay has skyrocketed in popularity as Shannon Sharpe has emerged as the black culture Joe Rogan. My point in the OP is that even a newcomer like Sharpe is more popular in the unfiltered long form interviews format than anyone from other countries. And he's still climbing the charts. |

Date: May 13th, 2024 4:03 PM Author: Vibrant library legend No they're awesome because he got what amounted to a drunk private conversation on camera where a famous black celebrity started talking about how the Jews (which blacks call the Illuminati for some reason) make every black actor be gay or trans in movie to control them and it got 62 million views.
Lex Fridman isn't bright either but he gets amazing guests to dish and you get to find out what people really think vs scripted, guarded bullshit on television which there's always edits and an agenda. |

Good history ones I like are Dan Carlin and history of Rome. I do lots of Rogan. He gets great guests. I'll usually skip the comics. |

Date: May 14th, 2024 12:28 AM Author: honey-headed harsh psychic alpha I'd be interested to what extent this is actually true, but I suspect a big part of it is that its similar to other entertainment - these countries do have a bit of their own ecosystem, but a big portion is still American shit and we never hear about their shit.
It's like asking why they don't have their own rappers, singers, or movie blockbusters. To a certain extent they do, but you can still go to these countries and hear an awful lot of Drake. |

Date: May 14th, 2024 12:32 AM Author: Vibrant library legend I have consumed a ton of European books and movies and radio shows and TV over the years. Like, really, a lot. Obviously there are local celebrities in their countries who no one knows outside. Even in some dinky country like Norway or Switzerland there are "celebrities" that are famous only there and not really anywhere else. And they all have social media influencers and low level YouTube shows with millions of views. They just don't *do* the 3 hour podcast interview format. I watched ONE French podcast where they interviewed some entrepreneur about how he got successful but it was so unbelievably shitty and had not that many views. It's not like the US where there are podcasting stars and that format rakes in a ton of money. No one else is really doing it.
