What Am That Podcast?

Jive asks Brother G about a podcast rabbit-hole he stumbled into where it seems an entire community of improv actors(?), or stand-up comics(?), have a network of podcasts(?) that seem to exist solely to talk smack about each other.

Is this all real drama, or constructed entertainment? Is this another result of The Power of Bad? Where negativity grabs the attention because humans are hardwired to notice danger? Just for clicks and dollars? Where can this possibly end?

Also, introducing the term “dabbler” to those who have never heard it used derisively.

Lastly, are standup comedians just judgey narcissists on a stage?
