Prediction: More big content acquisitions soon. @crookedmedia and @ringer could be next. Last week's @WSJ piece on Ringer starting to look a "for sale" sign? Exclusive premium content is the future.

Wrote about Barstool and @stoolpresidente in the inaugural letter. TL; DR: As long as he's the face, Barstool can't go mainstream. But if he gets the axe, the community may burn it all down. Chernin in a difficult spot. podfuture.substack.com/p/-po…

Big opportunity for $NFLX and other content providers to produce innovative audio content marketing as lead gen for core products. "Halloween Unmasked" by @ringer was a perfect example of this idea perfectly executed.

So many creative angles: “making of” audio docs, in-depth interviews with creators/talent, “Talking Dead” style talkers, expanded universe audio fiction…possibilities are endless.
