that catching on as well... the merit of what the technology provides and why people want it stands out very well." 
"The joy and the promise of podcasting is about the long tail, about the niche of 
podcasting... somebody who's got a niche podcast about fishing or knitting or 
whatever, can still have an audience." 
"I think advertising is the Emperor's new clothes. I think it's a scam... Who heard my ad? Oh, we can't tell you. How long did they listen to my ad? I don't know." 
"The download isn't irrelevant, but actual listen time is a real metric. And so I think 
in 2026, 2027, you'll see more and more people tell you what their listen time is not their download numbers."
