Several months ago I got a copy of an interview with Will Storr (by Joe Rogan, who also referenced the interview Will Storr did with Triggernometry). Both interviews are about Mr. Storr’s recently published book “The Status Game”). With respect to whatever he refers to as “social media”, Mr.Storr says:
It’s a status gold rush: there are millions and millions of just ordinary people with oridinary lives who suddenly feel that they’re fighting the good fight against the forces of darkness …
During Joe Rogan’s interview, Joe mentions something related to a privilege he points out quite often during his podcasts:
I think we’re conversation-starved. I think the way humans figure out what’s the best way to behave and what’s the nicest way that we can all get along, what makes the most sense, is when we talk the most. And most of the day, you can’t really talk. Most of the day, you can’t sit down for a couple hours — like this!
I’ve been following the podcast of these 3 (now 4?) girls (who are also housemates) for quite some time.
On their “About Us” page, they describe that:
As a whole, L, E, and I hope to share our personal experiences to inspire our readers and guide them through the day to day obstacles that young adults commonly face.
I find that they have significantly developed their podcasting skills, and even though the episodes seem very natural, there are also signs and indications that the girls are putting significant work and effort into creating a highly polished (and professional) product.
In this episode, I found that one section in particular displayed how authentic their interaction appears. The following frames come from the section titled “Who is the best at communicating when there are problems?” (@ ca. 33 min.)
