Clearly, the much bigger market is the infinitely scalable world of content that exists out there in the recommendation engines that people follow.

In the 38th episode Founder of Anchor Mike Mignano joins to talk about how he and Logan met, the origins of Anchor, selling to Spotify, what he sees as the future of podcasting, and Web3’s role in the creator economy. Plus Logan talks about his most recent Twitter backlash over being reasonably skeptical.
