Direct contact usually isn't a challenge; most people who accept any sort of direct contact will list their email in their YT profile or belong to IG or Twitter, which have direct messaging built in. And of course FB does it all.
What I was wondering about was public commenting for podcast publishers. Podcasting forces them to additionally be "somewhere else" and that's where integration can become cumbersome.
For example I just listened to an episode that wasn't (yet?) "announced" on IG (yet that's where they suggest people go to, and it wouldn't make sense to comment on the episode in some other IG post ... ). It hurts engagement, as compared to say YouTube. Especially when the podcasters are asking viewers their opinions about topics.
I wonder if podcasting was intentionally designed as only "internet talk radio stations" or if lack of public commenting was an oversight. Could be a blessing of course.
