AMAs stopped being interesting a while ago. It was more like a quick press release session with celebrities trying to promote their latest stuff.
I kinda miss the IAmA part of it. People like us in usual or unusual circumstances sharing their daily lives. Researchers in remote islands, members of ethnicities or cultures that rarely get media attention, cool or unconventional jobs and how they got there. People and their stories.
Yep, that's why it was interesting. Celebs are mostly boring and already have access to platforms if they want to talk to people.
I want to hear from people who I'd normally never get to listen to and who want to share details of their interests.
Podcasts, too. Like, Jeremy Irons is such a great actor, but it's boring hearing him talk about his castle and riding horses. Hearing 2 comedians talk is fun, though.
