Internet audio options continue to grow - from big players getting into the Podcasting space to big players producing and distributing content that sounds a lot like Podcasting (but they just won't call it yet). New devices as simple as the Amazon Alexa or as cool as the Tesla Electric Car are providing consumption channels (also not called Podcasting) that, simply, beg the Podcaster to decide what business they are in. This Podcast episode was recorded on Facebook Live - another distribution model not called Podcasting. What business are you in?
