So I want to talk about the 26th through the 31st we are doing our top Listen to Podcasts. I had Zach, who helps do all the back-end stuff for the podcast, pulled the top ones. He pulled the top 10. But I wanted to say that's what people will be hearing over the next several

days. But I found it interesting, and I don't know if instructive. I think I texted you about it,

that except for one, they are all ones where we did longer form content. And what do you think

that means? Yeah, I don't know what that means.

Okay.

Does anybody out there want to tell us what it means?

We're willing to listen.

I don't know.

But when I saw it, I was like, wow, like literally all of them but one.

Huh.

Maybe it's the material itself rather than the length.

Maybe.

I don't know.

You would think like longer ones usually don't.

Well, that's not true.

In podcasting, I will say for myself, the few podcasts that I am an avid fan of, I'm excited when they're longer.

Me too.

That's how I feel about it.

Yeah, because it's like, oh, my goodness, my friends will be here a little longer than they usually are. I hear from people, though, that are like, I appreciate that you guys keep it short. It's perfect for my commute. But on your end, I'm like, well, you can still shut it off. You don't have to stay in a car, be 20 minutes late for work. Right. And then you come back and then we'll just keep going. We're still there. We stay right. We stay right there. Yeah. That's how I listen. I don't mind. The key to me is like, don't make it longer than it needs to be. That's right. That's how I feel. And I think the ones that I'm an avid fan of are good podcasts, well produced, well hosted.

And so if you went longer, there's a reason.
