I love podcasts. As a self-employed person who needs some light distraction but can't walk to a water cooler and just kill some time, they are perfect.

I tried going back to the radio yesterday for a moment and almost threw up with the quality.

Not sure if a "Netflix for podcasts" would work. Unless ad money dries up because advertisers think people skip them too much, then I am not sure what the advantage would be.

I do skip some of the commercials, but I feel like enough get through to make worth their while. I have legitimately bought stuff because of them.

I saw an article about how much Joe Rogan's podcast makes and it was insane, over tens of millions of dollars per year.

The guy does zero advertising and probably has less than 5 people working on it. Fucking ridiculous.
