The importance of personal experience in writing

The podcast discusses how personal experience and knowledge are crucial when writing about a particular subject. The speaker emphasizes that if you have firsthand experience in a topic, reading extensively on it may not be necessary, as you already have the expertise to write about it. However, if you are writing about something you haven't experienced, consuming relevant media like books, documentaries, or podcasts becomes essential in order to gain the necessary knowledge.
