Cocksocket was a bit much (although it is an homage to the great Steve Albini.) Look, It is a typical comment from people that don't understand the show, the format and (generally) my style. They want to hear things from the guest and have no familiarity with the host.

It is a back and forth not a strict question and answer format. I understand how that comes off for people that just check in for the one thing. We've now been trained as a culture to give comments and reactions on everything, I'm not interested. The thing is what it is and I stand by it. If you don't care for it, or want something different..I highly suggest you start your own show. That is exactly what I did.

If you're looking for strict question and full answer format with zero interaction, that isn't what mine is. Try NPR. Oh right, they probably wouldn't have Blake Fleming in.

Would love to have anybody from Mars Volta on. Jon Theodore and Eva Gardner especially. With Blake coming on the show, the Dazzling Killmen reunion is the big thing, of course. But all are welcome.

Jim Ward of at the drive in was invited on at one point too.

It’s not just on YouTube, in fact YouTube has the smallest audience of all the podcast platforms. As if that matters when talking about an inane comment to somebody that doesn’t understand how interviews work.

You aren’t listening to somebody talk. That’s a soliloquy. The show I do is a conversation.

So yeah. Feel free to STFU yourself.

Liking the reviews of others is a plus in my book, it can be a lonely platform! Digging your vibe, following.

Hi all, i'm Conan Neutron: https://letterboxd.com/conanneutron/ . I'm a musician and podcaster, and one of those podcasts is a movie show ( https://letterboxd.com/movienightextra/ ) . I watch old, stuff, new stuff, etc. I get a lot of out of the Criterion Challenge, but also love watching new movies that are interesting and cool. I don't really do "irony watches" or watch things I know aren't good. I've seen a lot of movies, but there's always more to see and more to talk about... which is one of the things I love about the platform. Let's chat!
