Quotables

“Just the familiarity you're able to build with people through listening to this long-form medium is just far superior to anything else out there right now.’

“A show could blow up and, and then people start listening to the back catalog of it. And that continues to grow leads for people from interviews they did years prior.”

“You only have so many words before you lose someone's attention. If you can get their attention in the beginning, they'll read a long email and a long bio if you got their attention in the first sentence.”
