Sorry all, if you wanna find Molly on Twitter, you'll have to search her new @, StudBae.. okay maybe not, but she might have the slightest bit of FOMO if she doesn't and someone else takes it. But then again, can you have FOMO if you don't know what it is? Just ask Marcus. We're talking the growth in revenue in the podcast industry and how it's sky rocketing and where it's heading, and why you should listen to an entire epsiode, not just the "best" clips, which is what one company tried to sneakily do but ended up getting found out by.
