Can podcasts, especially those of an intellectual bent, be considered an oral literature?

I think they constitute a folk art of postindustrial mass society, a modern equivalent to the Irish Mythological Cycle or slave spirituals

As sad as it sounds podcasts seem to be the last holdout for intellectual discussion. I mean what else do we have? Television, movies, and even books are shit these days

Podcasts are people talking with eachother

Think words are meant to be voiced, words without voice are deathly and breed death

Michael Silverblatt of Bookworm is oral literature, forreal

Even if that might be the case, we cannot allow them to exist on /lit/.

Do you really want the board flooded with Stefan Molyneux and Joe Rogan threads? Of course you don't. Podcasts must be forbidden for the good of /lit/.

If you like Cum Town, you'll love Sword and Scale episode 20.

Only on a podcast can you now have raw, unedited discourse.

We've made a full revolution back to oral tradition.
