Eric Siu argues that interview podcasts have become a red ocean of repetitive guests and questions. He shares how a potential partner dismissed him as just an interviewer, suggesting the format needs to evolve beyond what made shows like Tim Ferriss's successful.
Who'd you end up talking about? Trend in podcasting where interviews aren't working as well? Tim Ferriss said this on my First Million Podcast interview, and he was just saying how it's very much a red ocean now because remember when I first started doing it, it was like 11 years ago. Yeah, right before Tim Ferriss even started his, right? And that time it was innovative. But now you have a lot of podcasters, they're all getting the same guests, they're all asking the same questions. And in that case, it's not even interesting. And here's the other thing. When I had someone reach out for like a partnership on something, he was like, oh shit, you're actually a lot more legit than I thought you were. I'm like, what are you talking about? And he's like, oh yeah, like, well, your YouTube, you just interview people and like, I don't know anything about you. And I was like, something's got to change. Here.
