We’ve noticed Democrats have been putting their people on “faux podcasts” recently, I.e. Gavin being interviewed about the fires. Putting two Shure microphone and booms on a mock set does not a podcast make. They’re still doing the same style of CNN interviews but trying to make it look more casual. This is their response to the Trump podcast sweep. 

A podcast is good because you have a trusted host. The viewers relate to the host, they become parasocially friendly, and the host acts as the filter. Randomly getting a host of the day and sticking your person on a mock set to get some more relatable clips defeats the purpose of the podcast and doesn’t work. 

Once again, they try to cheat and are inauthentic. Be real. Develop actual trusted talent, someone people can relate to. You can’t force people to like Gavin more by pretending to make him a bro by sticking a SM7B in his face.
