I’ve got something a bit different for you today - a bonus, you might say! I get together with a lot of my peers in the podcasting space to create content outside of this show, and every so often I’d like to share that content with you.

What I’m sharing here is the full audio from a livestream I did with Jesse McCune of Tansy Aster Creative on his YouTube Channel. Every two weeks, we jump on the livestream to discuss the latest events, innovations and changes to the podcasting industry as it regards podcast editors and podcasters. If you’re keen to tune in, jump into the shownotes for some links.

The reason I’m sharing this particular stream with you, though: this stream started as us getting out our gripes about the squeeze AI-based podcast production is putting on production services - in particular, talking about Inception Point AI and its 3000+ episodes per week production scheduled. What it turned into was me querying and questioning Jesse, just like Socrates would, to find out what is the most important maxim or principle regarding the podcasting experience.

Is Podcasting just a format? Or is there a necessary, parasocial connection? The method by which I question Jesse is a common dialogic format that would be ascribed to the Socratic Method, and so I wanted to showcase it here for you.

This is a long one, but while we do a lot of musing (and deal with the occasional tech issue) I’m sure you’ll enjoy the philosophical, reflective and dialogic nature of how we come to our conclusion. Enjoy.
