I’d be happy to listen to conversations with interesting and articulate people who are low-key. I suspect that a major challenge will be finding these people. My general/vague understanding is that most (not all) people who are on podcasts (or who have any type of public image) tend to do a certain amount of self-promotion, and I predict that tendency to self-promote is negatively correlated with being low-key.
I’ve met a handful of people who are doing good work that don’t appear to spend much effort on what I’ll label as “image,” but if you are searching for interesting and articulate people for a podcast it will be hard to find those people, exactly because they don’t promote themselves.

Finding them should be easy, no? Just checking the employees of interesting orgs on LinkedIn.
Maybe convincing them will be harder.
