I think it’s a really good thing.” “I was always really interested, really excited about what you could do with in terms of audio, what you could do in terms of reaching people broadcasting which podcasting is a part of.” “And I remember sitting there going, ‘Wow, this is amazing. I am in here in Yorkshire, England and I’m connected to a computer run by NASA. And I can see a picture that’s loading very slowly of the space shuttle. How exciting is this?’” “I think it’s important to look at the podcasting space to try and give something for everybody.” “I didn’t want people to leave reading that newsletter and think, ‘My God, it’s full of ads.’” “Podcasting at the moment is earning six hundred million dollars in the U.S. every year. Apple earns six hundred million dollars every seven hours. So really, how important is podcasting to Apple?” “I think that we just need to, occasionally, break things in order to move forward and to change the way that we do things.”THANK YOU SPONSORS!
