| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Eric Erickson Show podcast, Our Three. |
| 0:13.0 | Hello, America. Welcome. It's Eric Erickson here across the nation. The full number is 8779773-74525 if you want to be on the program. |
| 0:23.5 | But standby, I want to go down a necessary rabbit hole here. |
| 0:30.2 | Just one small peek behind the curtains here. |
| 0:34.3 | Radio stations that do talk and news are kind of divided into three camps. News, news talk, and talk. |
| 0:41.8 | News stations are pure news. News talk does news and also has political commentary like me. |
| 0:47.9 | And the talk stations just have talk show hosts. They don't really do the news. I am mostly on news talk stations and I have always been a news junkie. My passion |
| 0:56.0 | is news. And I frankly think that a secret to success for radio stations in America that do talk |
| 1:02.8 | is to also do news. So if there is, for example, breaking news in the middle of my monologue, |
| 1:08.7 | I will very often, more likely than not, stop what I'm talking about and get to the big breaking news. |

| 1:32.8 | We carried it live. And my thinking is a lot of people are moving to podcast. I'm the last guy |
| 1:38.0 | in radio, I think, who really wants to be in radio first. Everybody can have a podcast. It's easy to do |
| 1:43.5 | a podcast. Very few podcasts are really |
| 1:46.2 | worth listening to. But on radio, you got to hold an audience, keep an audience, keep them |
| 1:50.7 | engaged and entertained. And I think you should cover the news of the day so that people |
| 1:55.5 | aren't thinking, well, I can listen to the podcast later. No, you need to listen now because there |
| 2:00.2 | might be breaking news happening. That's not going to be relevant later in the podcast.. No, you need to listen now because there might be breaking news happening. |
| 2:01.6 | That's not going to be relevant later in the podcast. You can be on the bleeding edge of what's |
| 2:06.6 | current. And oftentimes then I have to make some editorial decisions myself on. Here is a story. |
