Which conversations are better kept private vs. made public? - Jesse Uretsky

In this episode, Jesse Uretsky and I discuss the pros and cons of making conversations public (via a podcast like this) vs. keeping them private. Jesse has his own podcast called HAYN, where he also posted this conversation. Follow-up questions we discussed included: 4:50: As a podcaster yourself, how do you feel about the quality of the conversations you've had so far? Do you feel if you weren't recording the conversations would have been any different? 6:45: Do you feel like you're really trying to steer your podcast conversations vs. letting them flow naturally? 8:00: How are you doing right now? 9:50: Do you think it's misleading to listeners to edit out parts of a podcast episode? 14:30: Is it a good thing that more and more of our lives are being documented and shared? 22:50: Why do you think we should avoid conversations about politics and religion? 32:00: Are things that we want to keep private an indication of things we are embarrassed about? 46:00: What topics are you uncomfortable talking about publicly? 52:00: If we get to a point where our thoughts can be documented, how do you think the world would change? 55:30: What's your prediction for how many episodes of your podcast you'll have published before it ends? 1:02:00: Do you think it's bad to passively listen to podcasts in the background while doing other things (like eating, walking, etc.)? 1:07:30: Would you do a podcast (i.e. make a conversation public) when you're under the influence? 1:11:40: Any closing thoughts?
