Podcasting grew up outside the system — no FCC license required, no Nielsen ratings to chase, no program director standing between a creator and their audience. That renegade spirit isn't just lore. It's baked into the DNA of the format.
"What ends up happening is when advertisers are deciding whose budget this is to come out of, there's oftentimes a tug of war, or it gets orphaned, because nobody knows."
"We believe the platforms that win in this next era of podcasting won’t be the ones that limit access – they’ll be the ones that empower creators at scale.”
