Joe Biden's podcast isn't good. williamfleitch outlines 5 ways he can make it better
Photo: Saul Loeb/AFP via Getty Images On Monday morning, Joe Biden crossed a threshold thousands of podcasters never have: He made a second episode. This week’s installment of Here’s the Deal With Joe Biden featured Uncle Joe interviewing Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer about her state’s response to the coronavirus and President Trump’s continued attacks on her.
1. Get Biden a co-host. I understand that we’re all locked up in our homes right now, so it’s not like you can just send a campaign surrogate over and have them start yukking it up with the candidate. But asking Biden to host the show himself — to do the introductions and the transitions and “subscribe to us on iTunes” announcements — is a tragic mistake. The big problem is that Biden clearly has no natural affinity with the podcasting medium.
There is also no reason for the shows to be recorded this way. The thing about podcasts is that you do not actually need the internet to make one; you only need the internet to post it. For example, my co-host on my Grierson & Leitch movie podcast, Tim Grierson, lives in Los Angeles, and I live in Georgia. But when we tape our podcast, we don’t even get online.
