Insight
Ek: Audiobooks and podcasts differ by business model, not production format
“But the better way to think about audio books and podcasting is it's really around a business model mostly. So one way to frame it instead would be Podcasting is ad supported audio and audiobooks is paid audio.”

Prediction Not checkable as stated
Ek: Global audiobook listenership will expand to hundreds of millions
