The folks at @BDMIFund, specifically @RachelnotLauren said nice things: bdmi.medium.com/podcasting-g…

It turns out you can roughly judge a state’s response to COVID by looking at podcast downloads between 7 am and 8 am local time. If downloads drop and stay down, people are staying at home, and new COVID cases fall. If they don’t, new cases rise. podsights.com/blog/covid-day…
