how would `an iOS app for listening to podcasts focused on social discovery` make money? I couldn't find that question in the interview.
Our initial direction wasn’t the direction we ended up going in.
I was interested in building tools for podcasters. Then when
we started to talking to podcasters we realized that podcasters
just want listeners and data about those listeners. Just providing good tools
didn’t really solve that problem. So we shifted focus to work on
the user app first.
