Authenticity in podcasting is all the rage these days, but let’s be real—most of the folks shouting about it don’t even know what they’re talking about.
Let's learn what trust really means in this wild audio podcasting jungle, and spoiler alert: it’s not about slapping out unedited recordings like some sort of lazy podcasting buffet.
We’ll also throw some shade at the likes of Steven Bartlett, whose antics might just be the poster child for everything that’s gone wrong with podcasting trust.
