little squishy right now. Is it audio? Is it video? Is it YouTube? Like, what is it not within YouTube?

This is precisely what I'm referring to when I'm talking about this identity crisis that podcasting is going through over the past year. Is it video? Is it audio? Historically, in the past 10 to 15 years, when we're talking about podcasts, we've mostly thought about it as an audio-first medium. Of course, that was never exclusively the case.

For example, Joe Rogan, for as long as he's been making podcasts, has also been taping and posting those interviews on YouTube. So this strand, this species, this substrate has existed for a very long time. And now it's becoming centered because it is, for many reasons, economically more viable and economically more lucrative to do that.

But to your point, I'm reading study after study or reading interview after interview of that like kids these days or young people these days. The youths. The youths. Podcasting is...

I think very similar conversations, though not in such bold terms, are playing out, say, in movies and business. Like, what is television? It is streaming. Is it streaming? Is it... you know, a thing that you get on your idiot box.
