Exactly. I never listen to a podcast because it has a name attached to it. It's incredibly stupid. "Obama!", "Harry and Meghan!". So? Do I learn anything from it? Is it good content?

I think these executives seriously overestimate people's desire to listen to rich and successful people drone on about how to live your best life once You Have it All.

I dunno, haven’t people like the Kardashians made plenty of money out of exactly that?

I think the audience is different. I would wager that the intersection between people who consume mindless celebrity TV and listen to informative podcasts is almost non-existent.
