The Art of Asking Everything

172

Amanda Palmer is a rock star, best-selling author, TED speaker and community leader who does everything on her own terms simply by asking.

    Who is being interviewed?
    I really wanted to love this podcast, I’ve been a fan of Amanda for years, but I was pretty disappointed in her interviewing skills. The focus felt very much on her. Someone else mentioned this too, but at a certain point, the guests seem to give up and start asking her questions instead.

    Great news podcast
    Is podcasting the future for musicians? I don’t know but I certainly think this form of communication enhances Amanda Palmers message which continually grounds me to the earth and sing praises to the arts.

    Who’s the interviewee?
    Love Amanda but her interviewees aren’t really being interviewed. It’s mostly Amanda talking about herself. Too bad.

    Love Amanda but interviewing isn’t her forte
    Listen, I’m a huge Amanda Palmer fan — I think she’s an awesome person. That said, I find this podcast painful to listen to. She talks on and on about herself, to the point where her guests will stop attempting to be the interviewees and will start asking her questions. It very much seems Amanda Palmer is the featured guest on each episode, and the others are there to continue her narrative. It’s cringey and arrogant.

    I don’t even like famous people
    But Amanda’s podcast is amazing. I’ve been introduced to creative and insightful creators who have brightened my life during this weird insular time. (Like Storm Large?! Hello queen 👋🏻) I’m very thankful 🖤

    Love this podcast!
    Been thoroughly enjoying listening to this every week. Amanda is a natural at engaging her guests and her listeners with her thought-provoking questions. The KT Tunstall interview is not to be missed. Sooo good!

    Listening to the backlog episodes one after another
    Something is so enticing about listening to Amanda spreak. She interviews people so honestly and so smoothly prompts them to spreak more to their experience. Her choice of guests are surprising but fit so well with her messages and personality.

    I’m so thankful for this podcast.
    Thank you for facilitating such honest talks about abortion, miscarriage, and motherhood. My heart has broken, I’ve wept, and I’ve exclaimed “YES!!!” out loud while I listen by myself. Thankful for this space, and I look forward to each Tuesday. ❤️

    It’s such a weird time we live in. If you’re looking for light and laughter it can be found here. I’ve always loved how AP uses her voice and station to try and equal out this world. Love this podcast can’t wait for next week.

    Aggression is power...
    “We’ve internalized the idea that aggression is power. Loudness is power.” .... That quote rings extra true this week after watching a certain debate. Loving it so far❤️
  • Nighthawk52
    Thank you Amanda Palmer!
    I just listened to the first episode with Elizabeth Lesser and was blown away. I’ve always been a big fan of Amanda’s. But I went looking for, and am listening to, Elizabeth’s book “Cassandra Speaks”. It is outstanding!
  • Vthom82
    Well Duck! (Less kid friendly meaning)
    I didn’t know I needed that, but boy howdy did I need that! Amanda is a amazing human and I’m honored to have found her and her music 7 years ago! This is going to be a buffet for my catharsis going forward.
  • bronnaoach
    Incredible.
    Not surprisingly this show is gorgeous, raw, authentic and everything you’d expect from AFP. The fact that this is just the beginning is so exciting.

    So excited for this podcast!!
  • Squidoflove
    HYPED.
    I first heard about Amanda Palmer through her book, “The Art of Asking.” This book resonates with me; it’s a book I recommend to everyone I know. Then I heard her music. Her music makes me laugh and cry. I got to see her in Edinburgh a few years ago purely on a chance (I live in the US), and it was the cathartic release I needed. Heard “Voicemail for Jill” there before it was officially named. Gave us some good, as she put it, palette cleansers and sang some of her upbeat songs in between. Anyways, she’s great, and I’m looking forward to the podcast!
