The question and answer round has begun. A member of the audience questions, "Podcasts are full of sponsored ads, talking about immersive audio experience, how do the companies work with ads?"

He replies fittingly, "Podcast is a big big change for industry. What we have done in our business is partnership with companies. We worked with a gift shop to give cards and worked with augmented reality too. I think it’s still evolving."

Michael replies optimistically, "What’s really amazing with audience is when you bring in touch and you feel something."

"We have rails shaking in the audiences' hands. We've done projects with people just eating things. Where they can smell", he chimes in.
