And you can actually sort of start drawing out that analysis by just comparing how Harris did when she went on to uncall her daddy, right? She sounded exactly like she does if she was on the television. She sounded exactly as she was when she was on Charlamagne's show on the radio.

Whereas Trump, and here I want to sort of, before I move into this like caveat that maybe we're just talking about him specifically being very good at this, but the whole hanging out thing is, really works. And the whole hanging out thing contributes to the sense that I assume a lot of American voters were looking for about like, that person is a real person.

And that person I can connect with and empathize more so than any other politician that really has to watch what they have to say. Again, is this a new replicatable political communications strategy? I I don't know. I don't think I've seen anyone. Maybe Federman. John Federman has done something as close as Bernie, definitely. He's very good.

I'm not so sure he hangs out as well, but he is pretty charismatic in very long stretches. But that is the thing I think you're kind of touching on, is the qualitative difference of being a good guest in a very long podcast format. That is something very few people can do.

I agree. I also want to make sure that we orient ourselves in a sort of analytical space where it's multifactorial. It's not just the fact that Trump was a very uniquely good baby guest. And there is a difference between being a good podcast host and a good podcast guest. A sort of mental test that I play is that nobody cares if a Democratic candidate goes on Crooked Media.

I think you walk into that episode as a listener, more or less knowing what you're going to get. I think part of the appeal here, part of the interestingness here is the novelty itself, right? This is a presidential candidate who went on a bunch of podcasts, like who the fuck knows what a podcast is, like in certain parts of the country, hosted by a bunch of boys and men.

These were not political players. So the novelty of that to bring it full circle, not like the novelty of outlet management, advancing an active show campaign using a podcast. The novelty there, I think, is part of the power here. And so I want to read a lot into this, but I also think that there is some distance and some self-restraint about reading too much into this.

What I'm looking for is specifically that question, you're right. Whether YouTube is going to completely and fully eat podcasting in terms of its identity and what that means for who are the major players that come out of that. And obviously setting that within a larger context of is all media just going to be this?
