The Bought And Paid For Podcast Landscape?

But when I watch a podcast appear and it just is immediately a high ranking show, I'm reminded of the old stories of payola in the radio game when record companies would pay to have their song boosted up the charts. So I have to wonder, is that what's happening here? Many of the celebrity podcasts are kind of boring, but yet they're still ranking. And I mean, how many more times can we hear stories of what it's like backstage at the comedy store?

Podcasting, Celebrities, Multi-Million Dollar Media Outlets, Payola

There are pokesters movies, there's TV, there's YouTube, there's newspapers, magazines and stuff like that. So let our platform leave our platform. Let us have the platform. That's all I can say is it was one thing I found. A lot of people don't have time to read, a lot of people don't have time to sit down and watch a video. So podcast was something that you could download

So I'm a bit of a fan. Boy, a Rogan boy. My ex used to call him my boyfriend. So that's where you know where I full disclosure. My ex girlfriend hated him because I was always talking about Joe Rogan. I think that appeal of a person like a Rogen or a Joey Diaz or some of those comedians they can communicate with the average Joe on his level. Still, comedians aren't elevated to that level. You know what I mean?

I mean, as a former on a guy myself podcasting, especially in the early parts when the comedians would sit around because that's what you really loved about O and a the hang. Louis, C. K. Patrice, Jimmy, like all those cats coming in and just hanging out, just talking goofing around. That's kind of what podcasting is that formula that they were doing? Yeah, I loved the early days

I'm really not into the entertainment podcast, basically, that's what Joe Rogan is. It's another form of entertainment. I look at podcasts like self help books. Teach me something new. I'll listen. I keep on listening. If you're just rambling about something that's really not that important, especially a lot of his guests are. Well, they were a one time important. I don't think they're important anymore. That's just my opinion

I dont know if I hit a single point. Lol

He said, Man, I like to be in your mind for a day, be you for a day, he said, no, you wouldn't. You absolutely. My mind never stops. You would not like it. And the second question that rocked my world was he asked, Elon, what scares you in all this world of technology? The smartest man, I know what scares you. And without hesitation, Elon Musk said, AI
