Welcome back to Soundbite. While the powers that be duke it out for Warner Bros. Discovery Inc., we’re taking a look at a show that’s been rising to the top of the podcast charts, particularly on YouTube. Financial Audit has been described as a cross between Jerry Springer and Dave Ramsey. As YouTube replaces daytime TV, upstart talk shows like Financial Audit are filling the void. The resulting opportunity is a huge one, and Caleb Hammer, the host and creator of the program, is building an entire media company off of his show’s growing popularity.
