@atbackground replied to your post “I can’t articulate exactly what it is about this week’s Ear Biscuit...”
I posted something similar on twitter, my theory is that it feels like older interview EBs but with unknown people about random stuff (instead of deeper life stories) that are not as interesting. Also, this format kills their banter, limiting their interactions. I agree with what someone said over there, that it felt weird cause they were talking to a couple of people and not to each other or to us and it felt distant
Good points. I also think that because the people they were talking to were on the other end of a phone, there were some delays and talking over one another in ways that wouldn’t happen if they were interviewing someone who was physically at the round table of dim lighting. It made the conversation feel stilted at times.
Or, like @mythicaliz suggested, they were nervous.
