Podcast live shows having musical guests is annoying and inconsiderate, amirite?

It must be so painful for you walking around grocery stores hearing the incessantly ear splitting sound of music choices you didn't approve of.

True! Yes. Awful

It's not really the same, you pay, travel and sit down to listen to a podcast live. You have nothing else to do, that's your activity. And then they spend a significant portion of it playing music you don't like when you didn't even want to listen to music in the first place.

You actually articulated how I feel a lot better than I did. Thank you!

You can just skip forward until the music ends. That's what I do when there are ads in the podcast. It's not even worth getting upset over.

Bro is not understanding the conversation lmao. They are talking about LIVE shows. Typically, you cant skip ahead in live shows.

OP says he doesn't go to live shows. OP says he only listens to podcasts. OP is offended by the fact that people who paid to actually go to the live show has to listen to music OP doesn't enjoy. Who's not understanding the conversation?

Thryre still talking in reference to live shows tho 😭 I agree his point ia stupid but your counter means nothing lmao

by Anonymous 2 days ago

Okay, I'm going to try and work you through this. OP does not go to the live shows. OP listens to the recordings made of the live shows, either by them being uploaded by the podcast later, or by paying for them. Because OP is listening to a recording of the live show, OP can fast forward through the musical interlude.

Hahaha not nothing lmao because he's not affected by the thing he is upset about lol hehe 😭🤣😂

Huh? For any show, there will be someone in the audience who doesn't like the music choice.

Yes but I'm saying the percentage will be much higher in a podcast audience than in a concert for example. It would be like if you went to a book reading or something and if you want to hear the second half of the book you have to sit through the weird musical interlude after chapter 8.

by Sensitive_Rise 2 days ago

Doesn't make a difference, and you don't know if the percentages are different. Besides, with a podcast you can skip ahead.

by macejkovicjulia 1 day ago

They're talking about live podcast shows - meaning you can't skip ahead - because you're there in person

But to be clear, I am speaking about the live show experience. I have considered going to a live show and not gone because I would have had to listen to a 30+ minute set from a band I dislike. I have also heard recordings of live shows where the hosts say it's a surprise musical guest and then they play a whole set, not just 1 or 2 numbers. It doesn't affect me since I'm listening to a recording and can simply skip it, but I still find that to be a very inconsiderate thing for the hosts to do.

You have never been to a live podcast show. You don't know what the live audience wants. End of discussion.

I'm sorry but there is going to be a much higher percentage of people who enjoy jazz at a jazz concert than at an unrelated event. That's common sense.

by Sensitive_Rise 1 day ago

Nope, still the same principle. You seem to think averages change with the size of the audience.

by macejkovicjulia 1 day ago

I don't think it's about the size of event. I think it's about the type of event.

by Sensitive_Rise 1 day ago

Then still it doesn't matter. There's no fundamental difference between a live talk show and a live podcast.

by macejkovicjulia 1 day ago

I think it's ridiculous, self centered, and inconsiderate to the audience. Huh? I would be so annoyed if I paid to see a show I like only to have some annoying interlude of a genre of music I don't enjoy. Don't you see the guest in advance? Like, before buying the ticket?

by Anonymous 1 day ago

Yeah man, I'd be so mad if I bought tickets to a live podcast I liked and they had the audacity to play a whole 10 minutes of music similar to the music interludes I hear on the podcast already

Can you imagine if a podcast went on a live tour and invited some local band to play a track or two? What a disgusting embrace of the local live scene/venue that is hosting them. /s

There is a set of skills that are basically required to live a comfortable life as a human being, called discomfort tolerance, or distress tolerance. Basically, the ability to handle things that do feel kinda bad, without being totally unable to cope or have it interfere with other things you do like, and to live a normal life. Might want to look into that. Going to a live show is fun, but it might include passing moments you don't enjoy or find boring, it may be cold, or too warm, or too dry or start late, or run long. Welcome to existing with other people! And you can't skip ahead on when you're in meat space. Deal, or stay home.

I'm assuming it's their responsibility to make a show that their audience will enjoy, and that instead they are making a show they would enjoy. I don't think it's the end of the world like people are implying, but I do find it mildly self centered and annoying. There's a reason that if you go to a jazz concert you would expect the opener to be a jazz group and not a prop comedy group. It's because they know their audience and want them all to have fun instead of making them feel mildly annoyed partway through.

by Sensitive_Rise 1 day ago

Bold take for someone who's never been to a live show. The thing about podcast shows is that the audience is usually thrilled to be there and all in on whatever kooky thing the hosts want to do like musical numbers

by Interesting-Gold 1 day ago

I totally glanced over the fact that they've never actually been to an event to experience it in person. Silly people

lol exposing people to music and stories is never bad.

Just have to know your podcasts, if I don't want to listen to a podcast with music I choose something different. I do however love "welcome to nightvale" and they have a section called "the weather" that is an artist singing a song i usually don't know.

Live audience podcast? Have we come full circle back to talk shows already??

by Anonymous 1 day ago

So you're offended on behalf of others.

by Objective_Dot 1 day ago

Kinda, yeah. I know it's dumb and doesn't affect me much, but it annoys me because I find it inconsiderate. I considered going to a live shows once and chose not to because I would have to listen to a 30 minute set from a band I hate at a comedy live show. It's just so weird and unnecessary to me that those would be paired together.

by Sensitive_Rise 1 day ago

Well, tough luck.

You're just trying to be righteous instead of being right.

Your opinion is that live podcasts shouldn't have live incidental music because someone may not personally like the band?!

Why in the world does anybody want to watch people record a podcast live?
