The Human Condition

Michael Zeitgeist
Support podcast
As modern day cranial polymath, Michael Zeitgeist is constantly swaying between ancient cynicism applied to today’s world of social & corporate ineptitude and a deep inner desire to one day become more than a half-hacking philosopher. (One day I’ll build a full podcast out of this. Until then, I’ll “Anchor” here.) Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/zeitgeist/support

E12 - Where is podcasting headed?
Video Killed the Radio Star. Podcasting will be the finishing move. But, where is content production heading? YouTube v Podcasting or is it YouTube AND Podcasting?
