Marc Maron, kürzlich pensionierter Podcast-Pionier, der mit WTF! über 1600 Folgen und das erste Obama Podcast Interview in seiner Kerbe hat, war bei On von Kara Swisher zu Gast und hatte einen Kommentar zu Podcasts auf Netflix:
„When I saw podcasts on the menu of Netflix,
I’m like, it’s fucking over.
You know, no one gives a shit about anything.
The bar has been lowered to such a degree that people will sit at home and watch people on Zoom with half their fucking face covered up by a Shure SM7B.
It’s like, what is wrong with fucking people?
Like, do they not have any friends?
Are they not curious about anything?
Do they not use their brain anymore?
They can’t think.
They got to have 3 idiots who are talking about the last time they shit themselves as adults, you know, entertain them?
I mean, it’s like it’s like a fucking world of drive time radio.
Kara Swisher: Why do you think it’s popular?
Because people are lazy and they’ll adapt to anything and they’re fucking lonely and they want to have parasocial relationships with people, they feel that they’re alike, which means usually fucking amateurs.“
