Exactly. That's why I said I had to side with Mal and Rory on this. Joe made it seem like he was doing things differently when in fact it's the exact same thing that Spotify did to him.
I'm willing to bet that most popular podcast give equity to the cohost of the show regardless of who came up with the idea.
Podcast started out as alternative media that went against everything the mainstream media stood for. Anyone could start a podcast and build something extremely lucrative in ways that the mainstream still don't quite understand.
Joe wants to run his podcast like a mainstream media platform, it goes against everything this nikka has ever said. That's fine if that's what he wants to do, but don't be such a phony ass nikka about it, especially to your friends.
