I'd honestly say to either dispense with, or shorten considerably, the interviews. Instead have the individual as a guest on the show and engage in discussion/debate regarding recent developments, and not just those within Blockland; people enjoy listening to other people talk about goings-on in the world because, no matter how much an individual argues with another, humans naturally enjoy hearing the opinions of others. If you went down this path I'd also suggest making the podcasts once a week or so to allow news to build up while still being relevant.
All that being said, however, I haven't watched any of the podcasts so I have no idea what the tone of the content is intended to be.
