Intro
Alex

So what actually makes podcasts different from other formats?

Jordan

It's all about the closeness. You're sitting in someone's ears for thirty minutes, just talking.

Alex

And that changes how you write the script, right?

Jordan

Yeah, exactly. You can be quieter, more natural. You're not fighting for anyone's attention.
