Should I reframe my podcast questions from 3rd to 1st person?

Adam Kruger Podcast

In this episode, a friend shares their thoughts on whether I should consider switching the framing of my podcast questions from 3rd person to 1st person moving forward.

Follow-up questions we discussed included:

3:40: Do you feel like questions are still somewhat unanswered for you at the end of most episodes you have? (question posed to me)

5:30: Do you think I'm more likely to have these questions answered if I pose the questions as 1st person?

7:40: Do you think 3rd person questions or 1st person questions would be generally more interesting to listeners? Which type would be more relatable to listeners?

13:10: Should I worry about how long these podcast conversations are? Is it okay if they vary significantly in length from episode to episode?

16:20: Why do you feel like this conversation is a lot different from some of the other episodes I've done?

17:20: Asking again, which type of podcast do you think listeners would like best?

17:45: Do you feel like you 'relate' to your favourite YouTuber?

20:00: Would can I do to be more sure if I should pivot my questions to 1st person moving forward?

21:00: What are your thoughts on pivoting episodes away from a specific topic (like Joe Rogan)?

22:45: Is this podcast episode title misleading if we end up talking about other things for a majority of our conversation?

25:45: What do you like most about your favourite podcast?

27:15: How much do you think people tune into Joe Rogan's podcast to hear from him vs. hear from his guests?

28:20: Should I have cut this episode a while ago when you satisfied the answer to my original question?

28:55: Am I overanalyzing this?
