The rest of the show explains why you would want to do that, different forms of bridging and pointers to other shows like hackerpublicradio.org/eps.php?… and if I made a biboumi one, otherwise promising I'll make a biboumi one.
I know he’s young, and he’s only recently started, so I won’t be harsh.
I think he needs to do a little more preparation, and maybe do a practice run or two before the actual recording. The episode I heard had no guests.
From what I can tell, Casey is a Black conservative. That is not a problem (if anything, I think we need more of them and a whole lot more Black “radical centrists”), but when he makes a political point, I think he needs to start with first principles and build his case brick 🧱 by brick, until the building is complete.
There was a fairly extensive discourse about some shows he’s been watching on various streaming services. That part totally lost me, but I’m not really a TV watcher (even the modern-day TV: watching periodic episodes over Internet). For someone that does watch, this part might be interesting enough for him to make it a regular segment.
The episode I listened to was about 35 minutes long, so not painful. Probably around there is where one should consider doing it as multiple segments, with some sort of change of pace for 3-5 minutes in the center.
Casey is in the Fediverse at @realcaseyrollins@gameliberty.club ... best of luck on your podcast. After years of planning to start one myself, I still have not (and may never do so). I will probably listen to 2-3 more episodes, but I am really not much of a podcast listener. I probably catch 10-15 #HPR episodes per year, and that’s by far my most frequently heard podcast.
I’m looking for #podcasts to subscribe to. I’ll add 2-3, but I find it really hard to listen to blah-blah for more than 20-30 minutes at a time. So after a while, I’ll stop listening because episodes are too long. Then, a few months later, I’ll see this huge queue and declare “podcast bankruptcy”.
The only one that I keep subscribing to (and even that one does not get listened to that often any more) is #HPR Hacker Public Radio.
