  this was my reaction exactly. who knew the vc community was actually just supporting podcasting. it's kind of like how NCAA football incidentally supports the olympics.

  Hmm, why is it that Blue Apron, Audible, Casper, Dollar Shave Club etc. are so common on podcasts for ads? Conversion rates are especially good for those kinds of businesses?
