• 1:26
  Speaker 1: podcast because they can. We all have opinions. We all

  Speaker 1: people like myself. who take it extremely over the top.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Because in our hearts, it's about building a community, promoting

  Speaker 1: a business, establishing credibility and earning a little bit of
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: money on the side. Yeah, you probably won't make a

• 1:53
  Speaker 1: turn into a business that's going to take a lot
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: of hard hits and crazy-ass ambition. Authors with podcasts don't
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: really buy into the money thing and only want to
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: generate a connection with their readers. This being said, even
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: radio people are smart enough to realize don't ever quit
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: that daytime job. It's only a platform. The art of
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: sharing something meaningful while maybe building a solid fan base.

• 2:30
  Speaker 1: what it did to disco when it went everywhere? Hey,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: welcome back to Podcrashing One-on-One. With podcasts everywhere, you know, YouTube, Netflix, iHeart,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: and Spotify, and even some radio stations, is it going
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: to be like disco and burn totally out with popularity? Well,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: the experts are very much aware of this truly becoming
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: a reality. In some advertisers' eyes, this thing called podcasting
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: is still a joke. I That's endlessly poking fun at podcasters.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: It's one of those things that people think is very funny,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: but the question is, will it be like disco and
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: burn out? Well, here's the thing. Disco is not dead.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Ask Dua Lipa and even some of Taylor Swift's music.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Disco is music, whereas podcasting is a medium. Media formats
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: do not disappear. They evolve. Yeah, the bigwigs of podcasting
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: do see the big rush to put podcasting in an
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: area of slowing the hell down. Only the strongest creators
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: are going to survive. Now, The one thing that will
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: probably disappear is the actual word podcast. And the reason
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: why is because the younger generation doesn't call it a podcast.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: It's what they're listening to. Hey, did you check out
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Joe Rogan? What about that sporting event? Oh, I took
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: in this new Jason Bateman and Will Arnett. That's making
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: me sound old, isn't it? Something new they're listening to,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: they don't call a podcast. There's no need to even
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: call it that. The hype is going to fade, but
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: not our desire to hear stories, interviews, education, and entertainment. Yeah,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: podcasting is about to become ordinary, a normal part of
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: our everyday life, and it's not going to go the
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: way of disco. And remember, disco is still here. I'm Arrow,
