5 Ways Joe Biden Can Make His Bad Podcast Better
New York Magazine / Intelligencer ^ | Will Leitch

Posted on 04/07/2020 6:51:11 PM PDT by ProtectOurFreedom

Joe Biden crossed a threshold thousands of podcasters never have: He made a second episode. This week’s installment of "Here’s the Deal With Joe Biden" featured Uncle Joe interviewing Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer about her state’s response to the coronavirus and President Trump’s continued attacks on her. Biden’s debut had mostly consisted of an interview with Ron Klain, his former chief of staff and President Obama’s Ebola czar back in 2014. It’s probably not fair to call either podcast an “interview,” not really; it’s more as if Biden speaks for a while, his guest speaks for a while, Biden speaks again, and then the podcast is over. In many ways, the enterprise feels less like an actual podcast and more like a weekly proof-of-life reminder for Biden. He’s still here, promise!

As someone who envisions no scenario in which Joe Biden is not the Democratic nominee for president, and therefore someone who desperately wants to make sure Joe Biden is well and okay so that we do not all die, I am relieved to know that there is a podcast that proves the man is upright, or at least capable of speech. But as a longtime podcast aficionado — and an amateur podcast producer myself — I find the show nearly impossible to get through. In fact, it is so stilted and awkward that it makes me legitimately alarmed: If they can’t get something this simple right, what’s going to happen in November?

Beyond wanting anyone but Trump to win in November, I actually like Joe Biden, and I am just trying to help here. But it is a bad sign that one of my first thoughts upon listening to Biden is, Hillary Clinton’s 2016 podcast was a lot better.

To save you from having to read this garbage, here are the five recommendations...
So, to contribute to the cause in any way that I can, here are five simple, easy-to-implement ways, both technical and thematic, that the Biden campaign could and should use to improve its podcast. And maybe even make it listenable.

1. Get Biden a co-host.
2. Stop with the Zoom.
3. It’s not a campaign event. Stop making it sound like one.
4. Don’t limit yourself to a single show per week, but Biden doesn’t have to be on every one.
5. Act like a government in waiting.


My #1 would be get a smart, energetic candidate under 55 who can complete a two-word sentence.

#1 - Hire Donald Trump to deliver it...

There is nothing else, short of the Lord's intervention, that could save Joe's ramblings...

Apparently this idiot totally glosses over Biden’s rapid mental decline. I’m guessing right now Biden’s sole purpose, as far as the DNC apparatchiks are concerned, is to stay in the race in order to prevent Bernie from ever getting the nomination. Once that has been accomplished, Biden will be disposed of like a used tampon. The DNC knows Biden cannot be allowed to be the nominee.

Even Obama knew he had to read from a teleprompter and not try to speak off the cuff.

Since I’m always trying to help, here’s my suggestion. Team Joe Biden up with Brian Williams. Compared to what nonsense Williams would say, Biden’s comments would appear to be reasonable and plausible.

I suggest using puppets, voice over and an interviewer from CNN or MSNBC.

Anyone remember Kukla, Fran and Ollie? Look them up on YouTube and you will get the idea.

He has a resemblance to Kukla already - could work.

So what they're suggesting is an elderly version of Wayne's World.

Have it dubbed...like the Liberty Mutual commercial with the “aspiring actor” who can’t say his line correctly.
