How do podcasts relate to human connection?

• Podcasts are the long-form storytelling format of our times • Podcasting is personal and intimate. You feel like you’re in the room, that you a part of a meaningful conversation • Podcasts are that meaningful conversation for many people in today’s distraction-oriented media landscape … a way of seeking human connection • If live video is the lean-in experience to connection, podcasts are the lean-back experience
