I think the core audience of most podcasts are simply people that do not have friends in real life. The bullshitting for hours (some of it useful, some of it not) is something I have done with my friends throughout my life, though much less so than when I was younger (which is also a natural progression). It's one of those core experiences that has been around pretty much as long as human beings have, that is now becoming frighteningly rare.
Just like the sorry fucks that seek out media creations like Juden Peterstein or the Tate brothers for a surrogate father figure, the podcast craze is a result of people seeking surrogate friendships. Both are a paltry substitute for what they replace and both result in ever worsening parasocial behavior & personality defects.
