Lets be real: everyone except those with three jobs has 1 hour to listen to something. You can do it while washing dishes and folding laundry – unless you don’t have time for those either.

The question is – how many people want to listen for 1 hour straight? That’s where a highlight reel comes in.

Podcasts are based off the traditional radio show format, so putting up a highlight version doesn’t work.
