Does he know he can just call a press conference basically whenever as HHS secretary? Cabinet members don’t have to launch podcasts, they can just say stuff over a podium and actual professionals will make a bunch of podcasts for them out of the audio.

Podcasts also have a very intimate quality that creates connection and credibility in its listeners, that’s why the medium creates cult like followings. Shit it’s basically the same gimmick as FDRs fire side chats

Lara Trump, Katie Miller, RFK, the Trumpy boys, etc.

All while CBS and other organizations are being taken over by Trump's stooges.

They want to be the media.
