There is some gold in podcasting

Gimlet can make a toast...over a gin gimlet (or tonic)...this podcasting network, just received $15 million in Venture Capital...not a bad deal...(although I don't know the terms, shares, etc.)

https://techcrunch.com/2017/08/02/podcast-network-gimlet-media-scores-15-million-in-funding/


But this deal begs the question, is this where media is going? If you are an entrepreneur...would you invest in a radio station (bricks and mortar) or an online podcasting venture?

Personally, I am a bricks and mortar guy...but where would you invest into the future?

Comments for sure are welcome!

Re: There is some gold in podcasting

As a working Canadian (assuming that to be the case) you are regularly investing in bricks & mortar broadcasters including BCE & Rogers as well as their sports teams (along with Hwy 407) via the CPP and OAP pension administrators (whether you like it or not)
