A big difference between podcasts and radio is the intimacy. Radio oftentimes feels big and loud.

Well ‘The Pod F. Tompkast,’ as much as I love the result of it, was a really labor intensive show. There’s a lot of writing, there’s a lot of scheduling, there’s a lot of recording – it’s not a show that we can necessarily do in one day because there are so many moving parts to it. Paul F. Tompkins Read Quote
