In this episode, Lloyd George and I dive deep into the dynamic world of content creation, exploring the ongoing clash (if you want to call it that) between Podcasting and YouTube. We analyze the distinct listening habits of podcast consumers and uncover how this evolving landscape is reshaping the way we consume audio and video content.
