Even absent the audience stuff, there is something about... Particularly these like long Joe Rogan or Call Her Daddy, these like very personal podcasts that seems to do something that no other media does.

I think if you can do it, we're learning it's very powerful. And I think what we're seeing with a lot of these things, all the way up and down the line, from huge celebrities who are trying to have podcasts, all the way down to, again, these B2B folks, the upside is...

There's something really powerful about what you gain by being able to like be in those spaces in a way that feels real and human and authentic that I just don't think even your point, like the broadcast radio interview just doesn't seem to allow for quite that same thing.

As all of this grows and changes, especially as it runs into this like big teaming content ecosystem that is YouTube, I find myself wondering if it feels like the thing that has made the podcast industry feel human and authentic and real in the way that we're talking about really risks going away.
