Oddbean new post about login | logout The only people who have complained about the name are people who listened to the old show. There is a really good book called "Who Moved My Cheese", might be helpful.
I do miss your old podcast 🧡
I was mentally done. Was time for a change.
fair, but I have to be honest Pete, I never listened to the old podcast to hear your political opinions or monologues, it's not your strong suit. I listened because you were a good interviewer. New show leaves a lot to be desired, very meandering and without tight focus. you often repeat the same content between interviews now by self-referencing across guests. lots of meta talk about your podcast. gave the new show about 4 episodes of listening and haven't been back to it since mean for this to be constructive criticism
Thanks for the feedback but I don’t really expect to keep many of the old listeners. It took 860 episodes to refine the Bitcoin one, now it’s a new show doing a new thing. Hosting is hard, it takes time. The old show was criticised endlessly but still became the biggest show on Bitcoin. Endlessly people would tell me do this, so that, I hate your opinions on this yadda yadda. I still just did my thing. There are many people who liked my political opinions and monologues. Thinking a show is perfect for you is a mistake, different people take different things from it, some like the guests, some like the questions, some like the references to my businesses etc etc… This is now a hobby, I’m cool with however it plays out, even if it doesn’t work. I did 7 years of flying and being away from my family, now I want a different life.
I get that you did it for those reasons, and they're good, I'm just saying I find the show doesn't suit anymore. I don't think it plays to your strengths as a host. that's all. best of luck with it, I feel you'll have success. just not for me anymore
Give it time, it is a shift. Like when you start a new job, takes some warming up. You might be America though and I am discussing UK issues. UK listeners are really enjoying it.
Change is inevitable and keeping up with it is the only way to continue having cheese 😉 nostr:nevent1qqs9rmu8p4ka6ltn5q9323uyxrttgfsaz4e35xz799egwu3det9fa8cpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsyg9w7rttyy5z0ua6rhnp39snum2gynccrat8kys9yu7pdz2lmtctyvpsgqqqqqqscu6zck
DUH! Why the fuck would a new person complain about the name!? They just scroll by and don't click the stupid sounding show. I can embrace change, sir, I cannot embrace dopyness....
Then don’t, you can literally just ignore it and get on with your life.
