00:00:07.360 --> 00:00:11.400
 You've heard the show, now buy the shoe!

00:00:11.780 --> 00:00:15.770
 New Heights is working with Olukay to bring a football-inspired

00:00:15.770 --> 00:00:16.680
 design lens

00:00:16.680 --> 00:00:20.360
 to a premium leather silhouette with all-star appeal,

00:00:20.720 --> 00:00:23.640
 or what the Australians call a decent pair of thongs.

00:00:24.040 --> 00:00:28.320
 We're told that the $160 shoes continue the company's tradition,

00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:32.220
 merging premium materials with personality-driven design.

00:00:32.460 --> 00:00:34.760
 And of course, you can buy them on Amazon.

00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:40.880
 In quarter one 26, 14% of Americans say they used Netflix to

00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:42.540
 consume a podcast,

00:00:43.140 --> 00:00:45.520
 and 4% say they used Tubi.

00:00:45.740 --> 00:00:49.730

00:00:49.730 --> 00:00:50.760
 increase.

 Tubi announced a slew of new content this week,

00:00:53.800 --> 00:00:56.380
 including shows from SiriusXM and AudioChuck,

00:00:56.380 --> 00:00:59.980

00:00:59.980 --> 00:01:01.480

 The Edison Research Podcast Consumer 2026 was released in a

00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:06.760
 webinar.

00:01:06.980 --> 00:01:10.880
 That data shows that a majority of podcast consumers think that

00:01:10.880 --> 00:01:13.160
 AI is a threat to the credibility,

00:01:13.600 --> 00:01:16.300
 creativity, and quality of podcasts,

00:01:16.660 --> 00:01:21.440
 and 75% disapprove of a voice hosted by AI.

00:01:21.440 --> 00:01:24.440
 Using data from SportsPoll by SSRS,

00:01:25.100 --> 00:01:29.040
 we also discover that US podcast consumers are more interested

00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:32.260
 in the World Cup than the population as a whole.

00:01:33.260 --> 00:01:37.460

 their podcast,

00:02:23.600 --> 00:02:27.100
 and pointing out the pitfalls that come when adding video.

00:02:27.980 --> 00:02:31.960

 Melbourne.

00:03:48.160 --> 00:03:51.150
 It's not a show about Jackie Felgate and why we're all so

00:03:51.150 --> 00:03:52.740
 fascinated with her.

00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:57.240
 Instead, it's a show with Jackie Felgate talking to other people

00:03:57.240 --> 00:03:59.100

00:03:59.100 --> 00:04:03.130
