Don’t Follow the Leaders (GWTW843)

As a podcaster, I get a lot of emails about podcasting from podcast producers, thought leaders, and consultants. The emails are usually not about MY show—although I do get those emails that cold pitch their services—but about the podcasting industrial complex in general. The latest is about Amazon restructuring and cutting staff from Wondery, a premium podcasting studio and network. With 13 pages of podcasts on the Wondery network, the question you might be asking is, "How were they making money?" But amid the complexities of corporate restructuring and creative accounting, which we definitely don't have time for in this podcast, the question that the emails from podcast producers, thought leaders, and consultants are asking instead is "What will become of podcasts now?"
