Hot take but podcasts if done right with creative and original ideas are a really good way of resurrecting radio from the days before television, and I for one adore it. There’s something so intimate about a podcast, some special quality that lets you bond with the characters in a unique way. You may know that the podcast is fictional, but that doesn’t stop you from imagining a world in which these characters could really exist, where we could have these adventures with them. Idk I just really love podcasts, man.
