| 0:00.0 | You're listening to me for free right now, and that's awesome because more and more things |
| 0:04.1 | aren't free right now. I mean, think about all the things you're paying for daily, monthly yearly. |
| 0:08.8 | Well, here's something that won't add to that list, the free iHeartRadio app, podcasts, |
| 0:13.8 | streaming music, digital radio. All free, it's the future of audio and unlike almost everything |
