Key Insights

Bullish:

  • 🟢 $PODCASTING - The podcasting and new media sector is experiencing significant growth, particularly in political coverage, outperforming traditional cable news.
    • My show had record ratings that night. And I look. I'm a small slice of the puzzle here. We've got, Candace Owens, Patrick Bet David, Tim Pool, David Pakman, TYT, all these other people. Every from what I understand, all of us blew it out that night because millions of Americans watched it on YouTube.” - Saagar (1:19:35)
    • In an election where the vast majority of Americans under the age of 55 are listening to podcasts, consuming new media, and are not watching cable news, where the median age of CNN, which is the youngest viewership, is 68. 68 is the median.” - Saagar (1:20:56)
