Must be the types of podcasts I tend to prefer, but I do get a bit put off by shows where the hosts are clearly reading either a script or a really detailed outline (like one might have it they’re giving a conference talk), and trying to present it as casual discourse. Through in some less-than-funny humour, and it’s just a little — as the kids say — cringe.
That’s not to say that the podcasts are bad. They’re still informative and interesting to listen to. It just feels like a bit of a trope now.
