How do you know a medium has reached critical saturation?
Once again that answer is found in the crowd.
What is the crowd doing, what are they reading, and what advice are they ALL following?
I don't think a week goes by when I don't receive an email solicitation to be on some podcast.
It seems everyone today has a podcast promoting some cause or another.

And this tired template which I've read dozens of times-- is a shortcut.
