Well, that sort of podcast won’t survive for long in my podcatcher app.
But the “2 guys” format is very common, and to stay with the theme of the cartoon:
Often one of the duo is clearly the main guy while the other interjects something that tries to be humorous but falls flat, or contributes so little that they’re just a sounding board for #1.
In some podcasts this is so bad that I constantly carry a little vicarious embarassment for #2 while listening.
A little scripting helps, or an agreement that e.g. #1 talks (freely) and #2 reads (articles or quotes etc.).
On cable TV / talk shows, that’s “the host and the sidekick.” Kimmel and Guillermo, Conan and Andy, some do that with the lead of the band (Colbert, Fallon, Meyers)…
Hey! Let’s do a podcast about podcasts! I can be your embarrassing soundboard guy.
Live footage of when friends try to monetize hanging out.
I wish these losers would be relegated back to AM radio
So sad…
