Podcast culture has long been a topic of scrutiny, and it appears this celebrity is now calling for them to end. 

Back in 2024, during an interview with Billboard, Tyler, The Creator expressed that if he was president, he would ban podcasts. 

Expound on that f*cking thought, b*tch,” the rapper said.

“If I was president, the first thing I would do is take podcast mics away from ni**as.”

In an interview with The Cut, Tyler, The Creator has doubled down on this thought, further explaining his thought to the publication. 

“I think we give a lot of people who aren’t smart and just want attention platforms to be loud and incorrect, and other stupid people follow them,” he began. 

He continued to articulate his thoughts, mentioning how he feels "everybody with a mic is crazy.” 

“We need electricians, we need more drummers, painters, teachers,” he said. 

“Everybody with a mic is crazy. I just think that sh*t is gross. Deante Kyle is sick, and “The Cutting Room Floor” is sick. Those are two podcasts that are in the right direction.”

He then shared his frustration with niche websites now beginning to become multimedia platforms. 

“Everyone wanted to be everything. You used to go to a website that was specifically about this type of music and now they’re posting about shoes,” he exclaimed. 

“Nothing is specific anymore. It’s like, damn, I followed this page because they posted the illest Italian cars and now they’re talking about so-and-so’s new country song. We don’t need everything to be multimedia; be specific so we can go there. Everything wants to be everything, and everyone wants to be a part of everything. I don’t need to comment on s*it that I’m not into. It’s not my style, so I don’t even pay attention to it.”
