| 0:00.0 | Hi everyone, I'm Susie Weiss, and I've noticed there's just simply not enough podcasts in the world. So I'm launching my own. Let's go. Let's go, baby. Second Thought is a weekly show about pop culture. The stuff everyone's been binging, arguing about, obsessing over. Here's the thing about heated rivalry. I mean, even the most devoted swifties, I think we can agree, not our best work. We'll be hosting thoughtful conversations with culture's most important figures. Talk about genius. |
| 0:22.6 | Talk about generational talent. |
| 0:23.7 | Coming to headphones near you on |
| 0:25.0 | April 17th with a first guest you won't want to miss. Available wherever you get your podcasts. |
| 0:30.3 | I love podcasts so much that that's why I was a little sheepish about starting my own because I think |
| 0:34.8 | if you listen to enough podcast, you become aware of the |
| 0:37.6 | meme about lonely guy with nothing else to do decides to start a podcast, even though |
| 0:41.6 | there's already 200 of them out there. |

| 1:00.5 | listening to one, and we appreciate it. We know that there are a zillion shows out there, some |
| 1:05.8 | good, some less good, but the thing about this huge onslaught of shows is that it means there's |
| 1:13.0 | something out there for literally everyone. As a listener, no matter what you're into, there's |
| 1:17.8 | probably a podcast about it. And as a podcaster, no matter what you're into, there's probably |
| 1:23.2 | some people somewhere who can't wait to hear you talk about it. But how do you find one another? |
| 1:30.6 | How do you take your little passion project, your little special interests show, and find |
| 1:36.0 | the people who want nothing more than to tune into it? What does it even mean to find and grow an |
| 1:41.9 | audience? Well, it looks like we're going to get a little meta, |
| 1:45.0 | because that's not only a question we deal with every day here at how to, it just so happens |
