Media: The economics of podcasting

Summary notes:

Philip Washington Jr. and Derek Johns discuss the economics of podcasting and how it can lead to future millionaires and billionaires.  They also discuss the  history of media and how it has evolved over time.  The early US media industry sort of  started  with the fringe creators of Hollywood, then moved on to TV news, radio, cable blogs, video, and now podcasting. 

Despite contrary belief, podcasting is not as saturated as people think because many podcasts don't last and many podcasters don't have the intent of building a business around it.  Lots of money is being invested into the audio platforms of podcasts because audio is a great way to capture attention for a long period of time. It is argued that having a captive audience of 100 is more beneficial than having a million followers who don’t do what you say. To be successful in this market, one needs to demonstrate that they have a captive audience consistently. 

Podcasting is another great example of how money is attracted to the best new ideas of a generation.
