Gossip is a significant part of podcasting and is fair game in that medium.

“i feel like gossiping is like 40 of what i do on podcasts and it's also one of those things where you know how many people hate me you know people just don't people hate you they don't hate me but there are people that are always mad at me”

Gossip is healthy in moderation, but excessive gossiping can make a person unlikable.

“it's healthy if you do a decent amount but if you overdo it you're gonna be rough”

Joe Budden argues that any platform conversation where only one person's account is shared, without the presence of the other party involved to refute or corroborate, constitutes gossip.

“So in other words, Joe, what you're saying today that anybody that comes on the platform and the other person that there he or she is talking about is not there to refute or cooperate that story. It is what? >> Gossip. >> Okay. >> Gossip. >> Okay. That's all I wanted.”
