Defamation is defamation, regardless of the format it occurs in. It has never had any impact on silencing or harming any industry or format as a whole. It's only impacted individual people or companies after they engaged in defamation by publishing a false statement of fact about others that harms their reputation.
Because the guy doing the interview should be protected against what his guest says. Had Amann just sued Punk it would have been a standard case.

If every podcaster had to worry they might get sued for something their guest may say or imply, nobody would want to take that chance, or at the very least only book boring guests.

If they ruled in favor of Amann, assuming the cost were down the middle, Colt could have owed in excess of $2 million.

That is why there are always disclosures stating that the views of the individual performer may not represent the views of the company, because greedy people try to sue people not responsible from time to time.

And no, Amann did not suffer at all. Kept his job, lost no reputation, etc. His biggest beef was wrestling fans taunting him and writing stuff on Twitter.

By that logic Roman Reigns could sue WWE because they booked him so badly that he gets booed and shitposted about on Twitter, and on TPWW!

Wait until your post from December 17th, 2015 is entered into evidence in that trial, then maybe you will see the absurdity.
