WE WON. Evil (the show) shut down around 1 am. A handful of us walking in a tiny circle cost them the day’s shoot. We were told the producers were pissed They kept the crew there for hours, sitting on the sidewalk. We felt the solidarity. We’ll win this whole thing together

I need some help with this math. I created a podcast that was loved by many - that was a commercial and critical success - only to be told by the company that produced it that both myself and the show were worthless. But that company is now reportedly worth $200 million. How?

It’s not that podcasts cost too much to make. Spotify had no interest in making their podcasts profitable. There was no good faith effort. They just bought out the competition, made a few already rich hosts more rich + stopped there. And now they’re going after independent shows

Reply All was/is an island at Gimlet. It’s the brand’s biggest show. And it showed in resources and power. When they spoke, the company listened. But they rarely exercised this power beyond the scope of their team. It was a clique.
