## Resource

Netflix spent eight‑figure money locking up big audio brands like Bill Simmons, Pardon My Take and Barstool‑linked shows for an exclusive video podcast push, but a year in, insider reports say viewership is “low,” none of the series have cracked Nielsen’s weekly top‑10 and internal sentiment is that the bet has not moved engagement.
