I'm always inspired by my friend Jesse Thorn, but seeing the *years* of time, thought, care and diligence he put into this work may be the most inspiring thing he's ever done. It's possible to restructure power and empower creative people. https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2023-03-20/maximum-fun-jesse-thorn-podcasts-cooperative

@anildash One very pleasant surprise of the last few years is that podcasting didn’t have a big agglomeration and consolidation. It seemed headed that way when Spotify and others started buying podcasts a few years back, but it didn't come to pass!

@anildash IMHO all companies should be #EmployeeOwned! Labor over Capital!
