This is probably motivated reasoning on my part, but the more I think about this, I think it genuinely probably does make sense for 80k to try to maintain as big and broad an audience for the Podcast as possible, whilst also ramping up its AI content. The alternative would be to turn the Podcast effectively into an only-AI thing, which would presumably limit the audience quite a lot (?) I’m genuinely unsure what is the best strategy here, from 80k’s point of view, if the objective is something like “maximise listenership for AI related content”. Hopefully, if it’s a close call, they might err on the side of broadness, in order to be cooperative with the wider EA community.
