518. Is Podcasting Culture Getting Better or Worse?
When podcasting starts feeling more like a race than a community, you know something's shifting. In today's episode, the cast and crew ask: Is podcasting culture getting better or worse? They get honest about what's improving and what's turned into noise. The pressure to turn every show into a business won't let up. Growth-hack advice keeps promising that the next strategy will fix everything, but then you realize maybe the real problem is the content itself. The conversation gets messy with RSS purists versus video-first creators, indie podcasters competing with funded networks, that strange feeling of watching the definition of "podcast" shift while you're still figuring out how to make one. There's frustration here, but also care for the people who keep showing up to make something real.
