Dan Kennedy:播客的兴起如同朋克摇滚和独立音乐的复兴,打破了媒体准入门槛,改变了一切。The Moth播客的启动,大胆而迅速,如同苹果公司发布iPhone一样,即使尚未准备好也先宣布。这体现了一种冒险精神和对机遇的把握。播客的成功,得益于团队的迅速响应和集体努力,即使这意味着放弃一部分传统收入来源(CD销售)。这显示了团队的凝聚力和对新兴媒体的信心。播客的巨大成功,出乎意料,其下载量远超预期。这说明了内容质量和市场需求的契合。播客的成功,除了努力和天赋,也受益于天时地利人和以及无数的幸运巧合。这强调了机遇的重要性。Dan Kennedy还讲述了自己年轻时追求摇滚梦想失败,后误打误撞进入唱片公司,最终因无法认同公司文化而离职的故事,体现了个人追求与现实妥协的矛盾,以及对自我坚持的反思。对Phil Collins音乐的热爱贯穿始终,影响了他对音乐和故事的理解。
