@nelson I actually have an ironclad rule which has served me well, which is: "I fast forward through any podcast that starts podcasting about podcasting."
It's shocking how frequently I end up having to use this rule! I am listening to your podcast because I want to hear your thoughts about the Treaty of Westphalia and its impact on space travel, not because I want to hear about your latest microphone or what people said on the Westphalia Discord.
@peterb I just listened to a fan critique of a TV show of a videogame. The podcast is longer than the show. 80% of it is the hosts narrating every shot in every scene. Every line in the script for the TV show we all just watched of the videogame we all played years ago.
