That almost made me laugh, your delivery let you down and isn't up to my standards as a comedy connoisseur

So, apparently, Sam is changing his model for podcasting. He's been holding special content behind a paywall for a while now to encourage subscribers. He's now basically transitioning the podcast to a subscription only model, where non-subscribers will get what amounts to a preview of the episode.
Not sure how this is going to work out for him. Part of me thinks that he just fundamentally misunderstands the medium, but he's built a relatively successful little empire off the back of the podcast and his books so what do I know, maybe he's the one who knows what's up.
Can't say I'll be subscribing, though. And I doubt he's going to get a huge surge in subs in general. Seems like the kind of thing he would do if his intent was to just stop the podcast entirely, but that doesn't seem to be the case since he's been putting all this workinto rebranding and getting delivery mechanisms sorted.

Over the past few years I've come to the determination that Sam is too smart for his own good. His intelligence overrides his common sense and he always sides with his intelligence. This seems like a perfect example of something that sounds good on paper in a business meeting but will not produce the actual desired results.

You get a custom RSS link, I think, with a key or something embedded in it. idk, never subscribed to a podcast.
Yeah, I agree

for the most part. He keeps getting up his own ass on these tangents, or he'll have conversations that seem to revolve around perceived slights to him, and god knows he's triggered af about twitter. Similarly with this, he talks about subscription model podcasting as if it is just obvious that this is how it has to be. But I don't think it really is to anyone but him. But hey, props for the heads up, didn't waste my time listening to half a podcast.
