QUOTABLES:
“ Podcasting is more competitive than it's ever been, and there's more avenues and channels with the video component to do it. To me, that just shows that it is a healthy, money making, market. You don't want to be in a dying market. You want to be in a market that people are putting money behind and energy behind and time behind.” - Julie Solomon
“ I treat my podcast as a cross channel platform. I don't think of it only as an audio platform. I don't think of it as only Apple. Even when it comes to audio, I'm thinking about what are all the other audio platforms? There's 70 platforms out there. How can I do media buying on those platforms? How can I trade with those platforms and grow?” - Hala Taha
