How to be a podcast protagonist : a tutorial

First and foremost, it can be very helpful if you're a pathetic loser man. Pathetic loser men usually succeed within the audio drama world,so make sure to be pathetic, a loser and (if you're okay with that) a man

Now the ideal age for a pathetic podcast protagonist loser man would be his thirties, however, if you're just a bit younger or older than that, I'm sure no one will bat an eye.

Studies show that most podcast protagonists are twinks. Sorry folks,I don't make the rules!

Make sure to have at least one weird character trait. This might be a slightly off putting interest, a deep childhood trauma that led to you being incredibly paranoid or something else entirely, feel free to be creative!

I really don't want to say that pathetic loser men can't be cisgender and heterosexual, but it might come in handy to be queer, or atleast very queer coded.

Alternatively or additionally to being queer, being neuro divergent (or atleast on the spectrum) will probably get you somewhere in your career as a podcast protagonist.

Last but not least, be prepared for life changing, soul shattering horrors that will definitely come upon you. Or don't be prepared. You know what,it might be better if you're not prepared. Just thought it would be fair to let you know that you absolutely will suffer the horrors of an average podcast protagonist.
