Figuring out how to make money off of podcasting is something that is not a science yet and I think a lot of people even inside the industry are still learning.

The industry right now is in a weird place people keep keep talking about, oh, it's gonna burst soon

and I just don't believe that.

Yes, also there are so many podcasts out there,

but like, so what?

I'm a huge advocate for just doing the thing you want to do and not

kind of do we kind of do but we got a unique path in that like we pitched the show insiders they liked it

hardly but we pitched they liked it and it got made but I think there's far more to what it means to like make a

podcast with like a network versus like on your own and there's so many questions

Yeah about this world that I do not have the answers to.

There isn't and I think it really is and I mean I think we are insiders like we
