3. The Revival of Audio: Podcasts & Audiobooks

Driving in the car is no longer silent. Podcasting has revived long-form conversation, but with a twist. The most successful podcasts (Call Her Daddy, The Joe Rogan Experience, SmartLess) function as parasocial relationship hubs. Listeners don't just come for information; they come to "hang out."
