| 0:00.0 | I do a science and medicine podcast. Now think about that. Podcasting and science. If there ever |
| 0:09.0 | was an uncompetitive media category to be in, trust me, I am in it. My competition is lower than an |
| 0:17.5 | AM radio religious channel, 2 a.m. on a.m. on a.m. on a. Seriously. I've never had anybody |
| 0:24.6 | call in saying they want to give me money like a religious station. Although I really haven't |
| 0:29.0 | used the tactics that they use, right? I mean, I haven't said, if you don't give me $100 by the |

| 1:27.3 | I'm willing to listen. I'm willing to listen. |
| 1:28.2 | So many of these other podcasts that are much more popular, |
| 1:33.2 | and I still think they probably don't make any money, |
| 1:35.5 | but let's say you have the most popular podcasts. |
| 1:38.0 | What are they talking about? |
| 1:38.8 | They're talking about kinky sex, the latest Trump tweets. |
| 1:42.7 | They may have an interview with Jay-Z. And then there is me and my |
| 1:46.6 | listeners who, God bless you, are content with hearing about anemia or an inflamed pancreas. |
