He commands a massive audience and, most importantly, the trust of that audience.

I called Trump a gameshow host while he was in office. But, he was the most powerful man in the free world. I wouldn't judge a person by the weakest moments of their past when they are at their strongest in the present.

But, seriously, he is absurdly popular: https://twitter.com/APompliano/status/1478059547688374281/ph...

All that shows is podcasts are more popular than TV. They are completely different formats. Misleading graph at best.

There was a time, not so long ago, when having greater reach than Television was impossible.

The way I'm looking at it, the fact the graph shows that podcasts are more popular than TV is no small thing.

It is important on multiple levels.
