And for the first time, we're able to make these accurate predictions based solely on the spoken word of the podcasts. This helps advertisers to discover podcasts with untapped potential, which in turn enables more podcasters to make more money from their craft."

So now we know. 
 @2307797a So they're saying that based on what is being said in the podcast, they can tell what sort of person is listening.  

Right. 
 @2e712288 I have yet to find an algorithm that understands me.

And as soon as I did, I would change.

🤣 
 @2307797a People have enough trouble understanding me. What chance have programs? 
 @2e712288 yeah, eactly. You'd hope programs would have less dumb ideas, but then they are programmed by humans.
