  • Love the pod, don't love reposting highlights

    Love the pod, but please consider maybe making a CHGO highlights pod/youtube channel, other podcasts I watch have highlight/clip channels so that their main channel doesn't get clogged up by posting highlight clips that are already there in longer form, effectively double posting. I'm no algorithm expert but the clip channels seem to bring in more viewers as it's easier to get engaged with the shorter form content, then they watch the whole podcast
