And so the fact that we’re applying our imagination to create a new world post-Covid gives me a lot of hope.”
“If you’re making content for everybody, you’re making content for nobody these days.”
“I always tell people radio is a visual medium. It’s just that the screen is in your own head. They call it theater of the mind.”
“Google’s mission is to organize the world’s information and make it useful. And that is why Google cares so much about the open web and the RSS ecosystem in podcasting.”
“The first couple minutes of a podcast are incredibly important. If you manage to get people past the first couple of minutes of your podcast, they’ll basically stick with you the whole way through. So, when you’re scripting a podcast, I think having really clear introductions is important. I personally don’t think every podcast can get away with doing a pre-roll.”
