Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHillary Clinton launches a podcast called High Stakes tomorrow, co-hosted with Kara Swisher, running through mid-November.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWith us is Yolanda Brisbane-Ngata, who runs Murmur Audio Collective. Does this worry you?
Yolanda Brisbane-NgataNot at all, Hank. We're already number one in political podcasts, and honestly a former secretary of state validates the whole sector we built.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNumber one in political podcasts. Is that by listeners?
Yolanda Brisbane-NgataBy a very specific measure. We're already number one in midterm podcasts recorded in Oklahoma, and the plaque on my desk says so.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorOklahoma.
Yolanda Brisbane-NgataFine, Tulsa. Midterm podcasts recorded in Tulsa, in our building, on the second floor, and we're already number one there, we're thriving.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBut you didn't answer the question. How many people listen to your network?
Yolanda Brisbane-NgataWe're already number one among listeners who are also holding the plaque, and I'm not at liberty to say how many that is.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorCongratulations, Yolanda. Your audience is a plaque, and it's very proud of you.
