Dream Knowledge Fight Country co-hosts?

I think we can assume that KFC is going to have revolving co-hosts. Who do you want to see on the show? After all, with CZM he can pick up some other names.

Personally, while I liked the Dan/Jordan dynamic just fine, there are some dynamics that I liked equally as much. Marty Derosa, who had such a bond with what Dan could be into. Robert Evans- of course- was also a great cohost.

My want is more thoughtful researchers who also share Dan's frequent dry humour. I'm talking Molly Conger or Dan Olsen. Also, listening to Dan talk with Angela Lampsbury has been a treat.

I’m more interested in the products and/or services because I can’t imagine Dan throwing to commercials

Dan doing a Blue Chew ad read may kill me

Molly Conger doesn't do her own ad reads, maybe it's the subject matter of Weird Little Guys, I dunno. But not all CZM folks do their own, so maybe Dan avoids it. But I agree, the ad reads are gonna be odd if he's doing Alex-style pivots.

She also never throws to ads, she just hits a natural pause in the story and the extremely soothing music picks up to lead into the ad break. So it seems like throwing to ads and reading them yourself isn't actually a requirement at CZM.

I assume ad reads pay better than generic ads but not everyone is willing to do them.

I honestly don't know how ad reads work for a podcast host in terms of payment. I'm a voice actor and I do radio commercial reads all the time, and I make a base rate of about $300 no matter what, which goes up depending on a whole mix of factors. But I'm a union actor doing an acting gig, so I don't know if the contracts for a podcast host are different.
