It was fun to talk shop with AJ - we touched on how big players coming into the industry changes how independent podcasters will have to think of their work and business and he shared some of his thinking that’s behind running a podcast network. 

AJ shared his parents' immigration story and his own story of growing up as a third culture kid in Miami.

We also talk about race, representation, and diversity in the media. The effect Black Lives Matter had on the field.
