Chatcasting, an Alternative to Podcasting

People think better when reading & writing compared to when listening & speaking.

It makes sense then to have interviews over chat software like Discord DMs, & then to copypaste these interviews into places like Medium, Substack, & Wordpress for people to read & enjoy.

What's the difference to an interview, which newspapers have done for over a century? Many interviews are letters (now e-mails) back and forth.

What’d be the benefit of keeping it synchronous comms say vs an email thread?

Some mailing lists are fascinating to read.

I actually had that idea not long ago.

Emails take alot longer to send & receive (like 5 to 10 seconds), & they don't automatically show new emails at the bottom (you have to click on the yellow bottomright bar that pops up in Gmail).
