'Let's double click on that' is something Shane Parrish always says and it makes me want to stamp on my phone.

I don’t like podcasts, which is why I listen to yours. It’s an anti-podcast.

Whether it was your original aim or not it has no become a strangely entertaining piece of avant garde theatre where we the listener get to witness a struggling and beleaguered content creator slowly lose his mind as he has nothing to say- and he knows it- but he must go on because he has deadlines to meet and metrics to chase.

He must add value.

It’s like Krapps Last Podcast or Waiting for Content (These Samuel Beckett comparisons are without doubt the most highbrow ones that will ever be made in this comment section).

It’s hilarious, in a really grim way. A regular weekly fixture for me. Will he make it? Will he find something else to say within the absurdly restrictive and rigid format he has inflicted upon himself.

Riveting stuff.
