retweeting this because joel is a beast at this and way too humble about it. so good with that level tone, letting what's real jump out for itself. https://twitter.com/byjoelanderson/status/1384888859104735236
speaking of joel, lemme say something about this right fast... https://twitter.com/cwmsiv/status/1384998546500427778
when the pandemic hit, obviously, our ability to book guests changed, too. so we leaned on my friends to come on. what we found was the audience for #TheRightTime would rather hear me chop it up with the homies than the famous people.
i really appreciate the homies for that, cuz i'm not giving them any ability to prepare. we just gon go. and they go along with it with me, even on provocative topics. and #TheRightTime is much better for it. none of us know where it'll go, but we get there and don't get fired.
part of the initial plan with the guests was to use the celebrities to help attract new listeners. but i had to lean on something i once saw chuck d say about serving your audience: serve the audience you actually have, not the one you think you want.
i think his specific point was trying to serve those other folks was "corporate thinking." yes, i work for a corporation, but even then, you gotta think organically about how to grow a podcast.
i contend my friendship with spencer embodies what america is truly capable of. we have everything and nothing in common and it's truly beautiful. https://twitter.com/Paposaurus/status/1385001661886783488
and if you don't get what i'm saying, i present this picture to you.
nothing attracts new fans like quality. i'll give you that one for free. https://twitter.com/ImDFC/status/1385003129255694339
now that's a different set of homies. i doubt i'll ever do talk radio again, but i'll never be able to explain why my shows attracted *the* most interesting callers. on a per capita basis, nobody was beating us on characters. https://twitter.com/builddensity/status/1385005213069692932
