@claylowe I enjoyed your audio, thanks. I saw this today which I though was apt:

Podcasting has become a huge undertaking for people, with seasons and episodes, sponsors. It should be imho like leaving a voice mail to a few friends. Nice thing is today it can easily scale up to millions of friends.
