Media / Technology
Podcasting has become one of the most influential media formats of the 21st century. What started as a niche hobby has grown into a billion-dollar industry that shapes how millions of people consume information and entertainment.
Podcasts succeed where other media struggles. They're intimate - a voice in your ear during commutes, workouts, or chores. They go deep on topics that TV and social media can only scratch. The long-form format allows for nuance and complexity that's increasingly rare in our attention-fragmented world.
For me, podcasts are a primary source of learning and entertainment. Shows like Lex Fridman, Huberman Lab, and All-In have shaped how I think about technology, health, and business.
