Andy, so isn't this what companies like Audioboom, where you came from, AdsWizz, Acast, isn't this what they do already?
8:06
Everyone has limitations in, I suppose, what they have access to from a creative point of view and what their contracts actually state they can do.
8:16
And this is the nub of the frustration that exists on both sides of the industry here, is that we're not here to replace any existing monetization partner.
8:25
What we are is a unique type of monetization partner.
8:29
So Acast, a fantastic business, very big, very successful, is starting to try and move away from a pure play podcast ad monetization business.
8:38
It, it's embracing the world of video, but ultimately the market is incredibly fragmented and it's frustrating if you're a creator to maximize your audience, is what Craig's just suggested, and Acast run into issues around that.
8:52
Audioboom, from our experience, had the same limitations as well.
11:54
Is that a big problem?

Audioboom, from our experience, had the same limitations as well.
9:13
Not because they weren't capable, but because the market just wasn't set up to, or they weren't set up to monetize the market in exactly the same way.
9:20
So when we were there, when we were, Mike's been at ACAST as well, when you're working with brands, the brand always wants to talk to the audience.
12:11
Is that a big problem?
