On episode #144 of the Speaking Human podcast… 
We buy into the idea that maybe “buy” is the wrong word for digital items like movies, TV shows, and music that customers may not actually own.

As you might imagine, during our recordings, sometimes we have side topics that aren't focused or part of the main podcast theme... those end up being cutaways, basically they're throwaway conversations... some lasting only a couple of minutes.

We've decided to let some of these cutaways find their way onto the airwaves, and onto the internet. Maybe they'll entertain you. Maybe they'll be informative. This cutaway from #138 is a fragment of a conversation were we talked a little about Pluto TV. Don't know what that is? Listen, while we scratch the surface.
