Speaker:

strategy for her podcast, and one that has been quite successful and one that I

think you can learn a lot from. Today, we are chatting with E. B. Moss.

She's a content strategist, creator, and award winning writer. She

 

 


Speaker:

has a marketing consultancy at the Moss Appeal, and her

 

 


Speaker:

Speaker:

B, thanks so much for joining us today. So good to see you, Matthew. Thanks

 

 


Speaker:

for having me. It is good to see you again. We we did get the

 

 


Speaker:

chance to hang out together at podcast movement. I, made a quick appearance on

 

 


Speaker:

your show, in the hallway, hallway conferences

 

 


Speaker:

Yeah. As we like to do. Powerful.

 

 


Speaker:

Yes. So I I wanna start by you you you have

 

 


Speaker:

this background as writer, journalist, marketer.

 

 


Speaker:

What took you from there into the podcast space to begin with?

 

 


Speaker:

Well, you know, audio is audio, I think.

 

 


Speaker:

And I, I describe myself as a radio brat.

 

 


Speaker:

My dad was one of the first broadcast radio majors of

 

 


Speaker:

Ithaca College, and we moved from market to

 

 


Speaker:

market in radio. And I, of course,

 

 


Speaker:

landed in radio as you do, you know, apple tree, that

 

 


Speaker:

kind of thing. And so after early stage career in

 

 


Speaker:

radio as a copywriter and voice talent and then an actor for a

 

 


Speaker:

while. I worked in television, and then guess what?

 

 


Speaker:

I landed back in radio. I was

 

 


Speaker:

working for a rep firm called Ad Large,

 

 


Speaker:

a terrific company run by Kathy Sukis, and,

 

 


Speaker:

they were launching a podcast division while I was there. And

 

 


Speaker:

so I found my way back into being a little bit

 

 


Speaker:

behind the scenes and now in front of the microphone again. As

 

 


Speaker:

someone who has a background with a long history

 

 


Speaker:

in real traditional radio and then

 

 


Speaker:

television, what did you think of the podcasting space

 

 


Speaker:

when you were first asked to work in it and and, you know,

 

 


Speaker:

sell advertising for it? Yeah. I I was actually

 

 


Speaker:

thrilled to be a part of that. I

 

 


Speaker:

remembered one of the early stage,

 

 


Speaker:

podcasts was, a former acquaintance of mine,

 

 


Speaker:

Kevin Pollock, the actor. And he always

 

 


Speaker:

embraced things like, like

 

 


Speaker:

anything new in tech. He's one of those actors who embraces

 

 


Speaker:

tech. And I was listening to him do this

 

 


Speaker:

sort of audio video thing. I'm like, wow. That's

 

 


Speaker:

really cool. And so when all things came back to

 

 


Speaker:

being able to embrace it in an on demand

 

 


Speaker:

kind of way, I was all over it because it didn't seem risky.

 

 


Speaker:

You weren't broadcasting immediately out into the world.

 

 


Speaker:

It was, you know, pretty small back then, and it was this test

 

 


Speaker:

and learn kind of approach. So I loved it. So how long

 

 


Speaker:

were you doing that before you decide to launch your podcast insider

 

 


Speaker:

interviews? Well, I was kind of thrown in the deep

 

 


Speaker:

end by another former, boss of mine, Jack

 

 


Speaker:

Myers. I left AdLarge, and I went over

 

 


Speaker:

to become the managing editor of MediaVillage, which is a

 

 


Speaker:

trade publication all about media marketing and advertising.

 

 


Speaker:

And they were a little light on the audio coverage.

 

 


Speaker:

So first, I hired, some of the freelance journalists

 

 


Speaker:

to heavy up on covering radio and this

 

 


Speaker:

nascent podcast area back in around 2015 or

 

 


Speaker:

so. And then Jack said, well, you

 

 


Speaker:

helped launch the podcast division over there. Go build us a

 

 


Speaker:

podcast. You've been on radio. I was like, what? So

 

 


Speaker:

it was definitely that do as I say, not as I do. I

 

 


Speaker:

had to figure out how to do, do, do. And,

 

 


Speaker:

I I just did it. And for MediaVillage, I

 

 


Speaker:

created, their first two podcasts, and it was

 

 


Speaker:

originally called Insider Insights. And

 

 


Speaker:

then I also launched their Advancing Diversity podcast.

 

 


Speaker:

So, you know, it was nerve wracking, but

 

 


Speaker:

it was sort of a, paid learning opportunity.

 

 


Speaker:

And I did about, I don't know, 65 episodes there.

 

 


Speaker:

And then, when I left Media Village with the pandemic,

 

 


Speaker:

Jack gifted me my podcast to take and,

 

 


Speaker:

used some episodes there again at MediaVillage, and I redubbed

 

 


Speaker:

it as Insider Interviews. What were some of those

 

 


Speaker:

early challenges with launching a podcast having not been

 

 


Speaker:

in this space in particular? And, you know, I mean, understanding audio

 

 


Speaker:

production and content, but, right, the the

 

 


Speaker:

delivery of podcast was probably very foreign.

 

 


Speaker:

And, I think in 2015, there was better

 

 


Speaker:

tech, but, you know, probably still not as good as we have it today.

 

 


Speaker:

Yeah. That's right. You know,

 

 


Speaker:

everything was, by trial.

 

 


Speaker:

So I had heard about, for example, Libsyn,

 

 


Speaker:

and I selected that as my hosting platform

 

 


Speaker:

and tried to consume everything I could. Luckily, I was in a position

 

 


Speaker:

where my job was content creation and

 

 


Speaker:

marketing and writing and journalism about the industry. So I

 

 


Speaker:

was absorbing as much as I could. That's always been my MO is

 

 


Speaker:

just read, read, read. And so

 

 


Speaker:

I'd heard about Libsyn. Maybe I got to go to one of the early stage

 

 


Speaker:

podcast movements. Not quite sure how they landed on my radar,

 

 


Speaker:

but, that was terrific. And then,

 

 


Speaker:

I had to figure out what equipment to buy. We

 

 


Speaker:

hadn't invested in a big budget. I thought I think that

 

 


Speaker:

I got, a, Blue Yeti.

 

 


Speaker:

But then, because I was going all over the place and

 

 


Speaker:

trying to grab interviews at conferences and things like that, I

 

 


Speaker:

got my little I have them here. You wanna see? Oh, yeah.

 

 


Speaker:

Sure. I'm going to, for those listening, I've got

 

 


Speaker:

my eye rig lavaliers. So

 

 


Speaker:

these little guys are, little portable

 

 


Speaker:

lavaliers that just clip on. And I swear to

 

 


Speaker:

you, the first 40 episodes I did, I used these iRig

 

 


Speaker:

lavalier microphones and plugged them into my iPhone.

 

 


Speaker:

And, you know, it was not bad quality.

 

 


Speaker:

And, honestly, you, in the last episode that

 

 


Speaker:

we did, were recorded via those iRig

 

 


Speaker:

lavaliers too, 6 years later. I was just going to mention that

 

 


Speaker:

I had the pleasure of using those with you at Podcast Movement. We just sat

 

 


Speaker:

down at a bench outside, in what they call the confer the

 

 


Speaker:

hallway track at podcasting conferences. Yeah. We did the

 

 


Speaker:

interview, and, yeah, it sounded great. In fact, we'll we'll make sure we put a

 

 


Speaker:

link to that episode here in the show notes. So if you wanna check it

 

 


Speaker:

out, you can. There's, other great guests on that episode that are definitely worth,

 

 


Speaker:

your time. Thank you. So one other thing that is

 

 


Speaker:

very interesting about your strategy is that what you

 

 


Speaker:

are doing is you are basically selling a

 

 


Speaker:

storytelling package. Right?

 

 


Speaker:

And and some people will hear the idea of selling access to a podcast

 

 


Speaker:

and immediately cringe. And I can understand that

 

 


Speaker:

because there are lots of people who do it in a very shady way. They

 

 


Speaker:

don't disclose that that's what they're doing. They don't make it clear that this is

 

 


Speaker:

paid for, or worse. I've actually been I've

 

 


Speaker:

had people email me, ask me to be a guest on their show. I've accepted,

 

 


Speaker:

and then I get sent an invoice to appear. And I said, that wasn't

 

 


Speaker:

really what you asked me. And so there's there are plenty of folks who don't

 

 


Speaker:

like it, but, you are way more open and transparent about it,

 

 


Speaker:

and you have a very specific target. So tell us a little bit

 

 


Speaker:

about how insider interviews works in the in the content package you are

 

 


Speaker:

offering people today. You know, Matthew, thank you for giving me the opportunity

 

 


Speaker:

to explain this because as I said, I come from content and journalism,

 

 


Speaker:

and, I ran ad sales marketing at some major

 

 


Speaker:

media networks. And the way that you

 

 


Speaker:

close a deal is through listening to the customer,

 

 


Speaker:

and listening is a huge part of marketing.

 

 


Speaker:

We know that podcasting does a great job with engagement

 

 


Speaker:

and trust in, the the guests and the

 

 


Speaker:

hosts. It's one of the most effective forms of advertising.

 

 


Speaker:

But I don't sell advertising on the show, and I don't sell a guest

 

 


Speaker:

spot. What I do is sell, as you said, a content

 

 


Speaker:

marketing package. And not every episode is

 

 


Speaker:

underwritten, as I like to call it. But there

 

 


Speaker:

have been guests who know that as a journalist,

 

 


Speaker:

I'm pretty good at pushing this out through social

 

 


Speaker:

media. I'm sort of, as I say, in the algorithm

 

 


Speaker:

in LinkedIn. So when I post, it's sort of

 

 


Speaker:

like the old ad when EF Hutton talks,

 

 


Speaker:

people listen. I don't know. But my posts get really nice

 

 


Speaker:

pickup on LinkedIn, and I'm very passionate. I'm an

 

 


Speaker:

early adopter in social media, so I'm I'm all over the place with

 

 


Speaker:

that. So my guests will receive a

 

 


Speaker:

robust, presence as well as all of

 

 


Speaker:

the assets, both audio and video, as you know we do.

 

 


Speaker:

But then, they can hire me

 

 


Speaker:

to write a journalistically sound companion

 

 


Speaker:

article that I can pretty much get published in

 

 


Speaker:

a trade publication. And, again, because insider interviews

 

 


Speaker:

is about the industry of media marketing and advertising,

 

 


Speaker:

there's a handful of trades, that, you know,

 

 


Speaker:

will be appropriate for placing that article,

 

 


Speaker:

and I've had bylines in most of them.

 

 


Speaker:

So that or they can take that article, and they can give it to their

 

 


Speaker:

PR shop and and pitch it out for coverage. I can

 

 


Speaker:

ghostwrite it. They can put it on their blog. They'll get

 

 


Speaker:

the audio clips, the video clips.

 

 


Speaker:

So they're getting basically an executive

 

 


Speaker:

profile. And I'll just reiterate

 

 


Speaker:

that audio is a trusted medium. When you have a journalist

 

 


Speaker:

writing something that's not shilling, but giving you a profile of

 

 


Speaker:

someone, it creates a likability. It creates a trust

 

 


Speaker:

for and about that executive. Sometimes it gives

 

 


Speaker:

them a platform that they don't otherwise have if they have

 

 


Speaker:

to explain something in a detailed way like I'm doing

 

 


Speaker:

right now, going on and on too long. You're not doing that.

 

 


Speaker:

But So there's that.

 

 


Speaker:

I do have news. Big news. Sure. Let's hear it.

 

 


Speaker:

So, Matthew, I think I have to give you credit for this. I

 

 


Speaker:

believe that on one of your shows, you talked about segments.

 

 


Speaker:

And I think that that is a a terrific

 

 


Speaker:

trend in podcasting these days is chunking out your show so

 

 


Speaker:

that, people understand what's coming next. I know

 

 


Speaker:

that you have, like, a regular question that you ask. Well,

 

 


Speaker:

I've had some mid roles before. And

 

 


Speaker:

because I like to share detail about a vertical,

 

 


Speaker:

about different channels, I've worked across print,

 

 


Speaker:

television, audio, whatever. I started a segment

 

 


Speaker:

that is sponsorable called the inside

 

 


Speaker:

scoop. So it's like a 5 minute deep dive

 

 


Speaker:

as a mid roll. So my next

 

 


Speaker:

episode coming out, you'll hear, an underwriter

 

 


Speaker:

who is giving us a deep dive on digital out of

 

 


Speaker:

home, for example. So yeah. That is

 

 


Speaker:

a great idea for a segment. And in fact, I used to

 

 


Speaker:

have clients who and and this is not uncommon in the podcasting

 

 


Speaker:

world anymore. You would hear a pre roll early on in the show. Right?

 

 


Speaker:

This episode is brought to you by whatever. Stay tuned to

 

 


Speaker:

the end of the episode where we talk to so and so about this. And

 

 


Speaker:

then after the episode, they would have this post roll, and the post roll would

 

 


Speaker:

essentially be like a short interview with someone

 

 


Speaker:

related to that brand. And I think it's a great

 

 


Speaker:

way to really tell that story and keep

 

 


Speaker:

people there for post rolls, especially if you could find a nugget of

 

 


Speaker:

information from this person that is value add to your

 

 


Speaker:

target audience. So I I love this idea and and wish you the

 

 


Speaker:

best of luck with it, and, we'll make sure, you know, we'll

 

 


Speaker:

make sure people have links to the show so they could check this out and

 

 


Speaker:

and know how to contact you. I I before we get to those final questions

 

 


Speaker:

that I do wanna ask you, one thing that everybody wants to know is

 

 


Speaker:

better marketing for their podcast. And as somebody with

 

 


Speaker:

a deep background in marketing,

 

 


Speaker:

in broadcasting, in television radio, right, all of these

 

 


Speaker:

different places, are there 1 or 2

 

 


Speaker:

strategies or pieces of information of advice that you would give to podcasters

 

 


Speaker:

on how to be more successful with their

 

 


Speaker:

show? You know,

 

 


Speaker:

Matthew, the thing that I, so I also train

 

 


Speaker:

companies who wanna launch, and I focus on b to b, who

 

 


Speaker:

wanna launch their first podcast. For example, I'm the

 

 


Speaker:

producer of, the Angie Trade Up podcast,

 

 


Speaker:

formerly known as Angie's List. And one of the first

 

 


Speaker:

things that we talked about is why does Angie wanna have a podcast?

 

 


Speaker:

Why does anyone wanna have a podcast?

 

 


Speaker:

And if you can answer the why, then you're

 

 


Speaker:

miles ahead. If it's because you just wanna hear

 

 


Speaker:

yourself talk, most people don't. They don't like the way their voice sounds, and it's

 

 


Speaker:

startling to them. But if you just wanna

 

 


Speaker:

hear yourself talk, that's a perfectly good reason if you have

 

 


Speaker:

something to say. If it is to amplify an

 

 


Speaker:

executive, if you wanna share thought leadership, if you wanna get more

 

 


Speaker:

trusted, if you want to be available

 

 


Speaker:

to the customer, along their journey, you know, while they're

 

 


Speaker:

driving or washing the dishes or whatever it is. Those

 

 


Speaker:

are all solid initial reasons.

 

 


Speaker:

But starting with the why informs your marketing.

 

 


Speaker:

So, you know, if it is

 

 


Speaker:

because you want to reach them anywhere, you might want to consider how

 

 


Speaker:

long your show is. It if it's to be a

 

 


Speaker:

companion while they're walking the dog or washing the dishes, it might

 

 


Speaker:

be brief but sweet. If it's just to get,

 

 


Speaker:

attention, then it might be

 

 


Speaker:

I I don't know. But fill in the blanks. So it starts with the

 

 


Speaker:

why. And then, you you know, there's

 

 


Speaker:

nothing really new under the sun when it comes to promotion and

 

 


Speaker:

marketing. Fill in the blanks. We all do the

 

 


Speaker:

same thing. I'm I'm thrilled to be here on your show.

 

 


Speaker:

You do a great job with podcasting tech, and I

 

 


Speaker:

learn a lot from it. So I'm excited to have

 

 


Speaker:

this opportunity. You were on my show. Now we've exposed

 

 


Speaker:

ourselves to different audiences, in,

 

 


Speaker:

you know, first cousin kind of related way.

 

 


Speaker:

And then we could also do a pod

 

 


Speaker:

swap, where my podcast appears in your

 

 


Speaker:

show flow, and you can tee it up and then your

 

 


Speaker:

audience will hear an entire episode, or just the trailer

 

 


Speaker:

swap, etcetera. Certainly, when you're

 

 


Speaker:

when you're a bigger personality, you might take your

 

 


Speaker:

show live and have it in front of an audience. But

 

 


Speaker:

really, it's understanding that

 

 


Speaker:

everything you touch needs to continue

 

 


Speaker:

your brand message and reflect your brand in the way

 

 


Speaker:

you want. So we talked about social media earlier. You

 

 


Speaker:

know, are you going to align with college

 

 


Speaker:

kids smashing a beer can on their head or, you know, a certain

 

 


Speaker:

political persuasion or whatever it is? Or are you

 

 


Speaker:

going to kinda have your,

 

 


Speaker:

buttoned up approach and have

 

 


Speaker:

informative, helpful social media, tools and

 

 


Speaker:

tactics. So, I mean, I could go on and on, but,

 

 


Speaker:

let me know if I missed a specific. No. I think that's a a great

 

 


Speaker:

answer. It's something we've always talked about too is that in the importance of understanding

 

 


Speaker:

your why. Right? We so many people launch a podcast and

 

 


Speaker:

they obsess over downloads and really the focus of

 

 


Speaker:

their show isn't about how big the audience is,

 

 


Speaker:

but, you know, maybe it's about the people they meet while they're interviewing or

 

 


Speaker:

how many of the people who are listening engage in their products. And, you know,

 

 


Speaker:

some folks, it only takes a 100 downloads to, you know, get those

 

 


Speaker:

3 or 4 customers that are gonna make the difference between a good year and

 

 


Speaker:

a bad year for for what it is that they're doing. So understanding your why

 

 


Speaker:

and then strategizing around that, I think, is is just super

 

 


Speaker:

important. So as a reminder, we are chatting with Ebi Moss of Insider

 

 


Speaker:

Interviews podcast and Moss appeal. We'll have a link to all of her

 

 


Speaker:

socials as well as she has a a Bitly link with everything that she has

 

 


Speaker:

going on so you can easily check things out, listen to some

 

 


Speaker:

content, you know, just just see everything that she has to

 

 


Speaker:

offer and and check it out, and maybe even you wanna check out that 5

 

 


Speaker:

minute segment in her show, where you can, you know, get access

 

 


Speaker:

to her audience. So before we let you go, yes, we are gonna ask you

 

 


Speaker:

the questions that we ask everybody. And so the first one is, is

 

 


Speaker:

there a place you would like to see improvement in podcasting in

 

 


Speaker:

general?

 

 


Speaker:

You know, we've gotten very complicated as an

 

 


Speaker:

industry. When I first launched my

 

 


Speaker:

shows, you know, there were a handful of options.

 

 


Speaker:

I personally get confused between which

 

 


Speaker:

AI tool might be a good companion to help me

 

 


Speaker:

generate my clips or my show notes or whatever it is. I don't know

 

 


Speaker:

about hosting platforms. I if if I had a wish list,

 

 


Speaker:

it would be give me a cheat sheet of this is great for this.

 

 


Speaker:

This is good for that. So I'm frankly a

 

 


Speaker:

little overwhelmed. You know, my hair was straight

 

 


Speaker:

before I started working in podcasting, and now it's like

 

 


Speaker:

That is a I like that piece of advice. Maybe that's something that we can,

 

 


Speaker:

we can work to put together here. Help me.

 

 


Speaker:

But, Matt, I I do wanna give you credit also

 

 


Speaker:

because when we met, you gave me my own

 

 


Speaker:

custom podcast beacon.

 

 


Speaker:

I cannot tell you how popular I've become

 

 


Speaker:

at cocktail parties. Thanks to you.

 

 


Speaker:

Honestly, we talk so much about the challenge of

 

 


Speaker:

discovery. So we talked about LinkedIn, for example.

 

 


Speaker:

There's not a lot of necessarily conversion

 

 


Speaker:

from a social media post on almost any platform

 

 


Speaker:

directly to listening to an episode.

 

 


Speaker:

So we need tools to help break down the barriers, and I

 

 


Speaker:

think that the podcast beacon that you've created has done

 

 


Speaker:

that. I have, like, people giving me

 

 


Speaker:

jazz hands, like, wow. When all of

 

 


Speaker:

a sudden, I can get them to wave this

 

 


Speaker:

magic beacon, and all of a sudden, it opens up a

 

 


Speaker:

link to my show, and it takes the barrier out of the

 

 


Speaker:

way. So hats off to you, man. I think it's just,

 

 


Speaker:

I've gotten an extra 17 listeners thanks to you in the last

 

 


Speaker:

week. Awesome. Oh, I'm so glad to hear that, and, I'm

 

 


Speaker:

gonna make you record that later for me. And we're gonna use

 

 


Speaker:

that in some of our marketing. And and, yeah,

 

 


Speaker:

for for those, curious podcast beacon, we are,

 

 


Speaker:

actually making a big push right now. We're thinking about how we can partner with

 

 


Speaker:

different companies and brands so that they can give beacons out to their,

 

 


Speaker:

clients and customers. So if that's something that's interesting to you, please do not

 

 


Speaker:

hesitate to, reach out to us. And, I'm so glad you answered that. To say

 

 


Speaker:

that. Yeah. I did not. I'm I might, though. It's not sponsored.

 

 


Speaker:

So are is there any technology that you

 

 


Speaker:

would like you know, it's on your wish list as we start to think about

 

 


Speaker:

the holidays. Maybe it's something that you've wanted to purchase or maybe something

 

 


Speaker:

that hasn't even been created yet that you'd like to see made so that, you

 

 


Speaker:

know, your production can be a little bit easier.

 

 


Speaker:

You know, I'm always, challenged. You know, we see the big

 

 


Speaker:

microphone in front of my face. Very happy that I

 

 


Speaker:

got my my Shore microphone, thanks

 

 


Speaker:

to a giveaway. But I see a lot

 

 


Speaker:

of the little, clip on lavaliers now,

 

 


Speaker:

and I question the quality of them. I

 

 


Speaker:

love the fact I happen to use Descript to edit

 

 


Speaker:

my shows, and I love that we have studio sound that

 

 


Speaker:

can compensate for a lot of the challenges of microphones

 

 


Speaker:

these days. I typically will also

 

 


Speaker:

wear, you know, the big can headphones when I'm

 

 


Speaker:

recording, and that also is not good for my hair.

 

 


Speaker:

So I'm also confused. And if you could give us a cheat sheet

 

 


Speaker:

for, good smaller

 

 


Speaker:

mobile pieces of recording and

 

 


Speaker:

listening devices. That would be great. Awesome. I think we have

 

 


Speaker:

some of that, but I will I will make sure we put something together for

 

 


Speaker:

this episode specifically. And then, right afterwards, I've got a couple of personal

 

 


Speaker:

suggestions for you that I think you'll appreciate. And lastly,

 

 


Speaker:

is there a podcast out there right now that when

 

 


Speaker:

that drops, you are stopping what you were listening to or,

 

 


Speaker:

you know, it's just it's one of those have to listen to shows, on your

 

 


Speaker:

list. Okay. I might

 

 


Speaker:

have to name 4 because my mind was going. As many

 

 


Speaker:

as you want. My boy my boy, Peter Kafka, is

 

 


Speaker:

back. He had Recode Media. Now he has channels.

 

 


Speaker:

And the great thing about that, he took a, I don't know, maybe

 

 


Speaker:

6 months hiatus, and he raised the bar for me in

 

 


Speaker:

terms of a media and marketing type of podcast.

 

 


Speaker:

I I really like his style, gets

 

 


Speaker:

very informative guests, as do I, by the way.

 

 


Speaker:

So I like that show. I I find, the

 

 


Speaker:

relationship with, Professor Galloway and Kara

 

 


Speaker:

Swisher fascinating on Pivot and how they get into some

 

 


Speaker:

things that's very, informative from a

 

 


Speaker:

zeitgeist perspective about the world. I

 

 


Speaker:

like laughing with Smartless. And then the

 

 


Speaker:

episode that you were on with me, I am gonna give a shout out

 

 


Speaker:

to, Jason Hoch, who started a company called

 

 


Speaker:

Waveland. He ran How Stuff Works, of course,

 

 


Speaker:

huge franchise. But he has a show called Noble

 

 


Speaker:

that has been, scoring really high in the

 

 


Speaker:

podcast Rankers. And it's a creepy, creepy

 

 


Speaker:

topic about finding where the bodies were

 

 


Speaker:

not buried. I'll just tell you that. Yeah.

 

 


Speaker:

Noble. And it's, a true crime show. So

 

 


Speaker:

true crime always draws you in. So there you go.

 

 


Speaker:

News, comedy, business. I think I covered them all. Yeah. You you

 

 


Speaker:

have got me hooked, and it's funny that you brought up both Peter

 

 


Speaker:

and, Cara, who were former colleagues of mine, with

 

 


Speaker:

for, Dow Jones, and always loved, chatting with them as well. Yeah.

 

 


Speaker:

Well and we have really loved chatting with you again today, and I look forward

 

 


Speaker:
