Dumbest business move ever.

And they threw 4 mill at Trevor Noah? :russ:

They could have spent way less than that by giving non-celebs with a following to fill roster spots. Status not gonna carry a podcast. Especially in an over saturated genre.

They would have been better off buying Wondery but Amazon beat them to the punch. There shows tells stories mostly. I’ve listed to some multiple times, especially Business Wars. Politic talk has a short shelf life.

No way someone who actually listens to podcast would make that decision.

Trevor Noah got the GOAT agent. :russ:

people getting tired of all the babble

be it bird, passport bro, conspiracy theory or otherwise.
Think Spotify was spending money on them kinda pods brehs lol. They was actually foolishly spending money on non podcaster to start a pod. And all those shyts flipped. They betting on your celebrity would bring people in, but that didn’t work.

Joe rogan pod has a constant base cause he’s a podcaster, Michelle Obama who is not a podcaster getting a bag from Spotify to start a pod was stupid and it failed

Streamers and the multiple platforms to broadcast live on, soared over podcasts…. Not to mention the folks that IRL stream…. Other shyt came up to take ears/eyes.

These articles or the directors of these companies are stupid.

You can expect numbers that existed during to covid to carry through when people no longer need to fill the time. I'd expect competent directors to make their investments based on this understanding.
