I've never found anyone telling me their opinions to be infectious - I can't even imagine using that word to describe a podcast tbh. Its a form of media I've never understood - they script the podcasts, they all kno the conversation ahead of time and just go thru the motions via voice with strangers that can either agree or disagree - only the extremes will ever interact with the podcasters, it's just so fake I can't even do it.

Infectious energy. Interesting.
