Podcasting delivers an intimacy and a familiarity unlike any other me...

When I run into people, it's really interesting. I can tell what medium they found me based on how they approach me. If someone literally comes up to me and high fives and is kind of bro-y and says, hey Prof G, I know they've seen a video because I'm sort of irreverent and video is fun and you have to keep people sort of glued to it, that's where you get the bro-y high five. If someone writes me a really long email or asks to sit down and talk to me about something, they've read something I've written and it's registered with them. If somebody comes up to you and starts speaking to you literally as if they're your friend and at some point they have to go, oh, I'm sorry, we don't know each other, but they're speaking to you as if you've known each other for 20 years, I know it's through a podcast because with a podcast, they have literally the buds in their ear and you're speaking to them when they're doing something intimate, making breakfast for their kids, walking their dog.
