How to maintain authenticity when friends become collaborators

My best friend and I have been developing a podcast together for eight months and we have incredible conversations when we're just talking, but the moment we hit record we both become performative versions of ourselves. We've recorded twelve episodes and only published three because we keep listening back and feeling like we've lost something essential about what makes our friendship interesting.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The act of documentation transforms intimate connection into performance, creating distance where there was once ease.
