  Everything is better when it ends with a fact check.

      For these guys? Yes! Probably about AIDS or something.

      I guess it’s better than hearing “So that’s what you consider average?”

  Many creators are moving away from exclusivity agreements. I think that’s great.

    Yeah, it’s much better for everyone except the rent-seeking company… And it isn’t even bad for the rent-seeker, they’re just deprived of the gains they would obtain from harming the ecosystem by fragmenting it.

  They’re paying him $250M starting this year. I think it’s about to be exclusive to Spotify again.

  I feel him selling out turned me off ever wanting to watch it. He didn’t need the money, he was already super well off. So he just showed that he didn’t value his listeners, he knew he would lose some but didn’t care.

  Compared to my favorite podcast that offers people to email him if they can’t afford the paid stuff because he just wants people to be able to listen.

    Agree. I mean I dunno if I’d be able to say no to $100 million even if I was already wealthy, so I don’t want to make it too black-and-white… But it definitely did harm, and I think it’s fair to describe it as selling out.

    Who’s your favorite podcast? They sound rad.

      Tangentially Speaking by Chris Ryan.

      He interviews interesting people, some famous, most not. The latest episode was with a guy he happened to meet at a party and thought he had an interesting story.

      As the name implies he is very happy to go off on tangents, so the episodes can end up in topics you never would have guessed from the guest description.

      Word of warning he does tend to talk for about 30 minutes at the start of every episode. I personally enjoy it but I know others who it annoys.
