  • Hey, this is Peter Kafka.

  • I'm the host of Channels, a show about what happens when media and tech collide.

  • And this week I'm talking to Emily Sundberg,

  • whose Feed Me newsletter is a thriving one-person business with mega fans and lots of subscribers.

  • This is a story about a media company that's taking off.

  • A very wise person once told me,

  • once you turn certain levers on, you can't turn them back off.

  • And I don't need to right now.

  • Like everything's working.

  • I don't need to give more of my personal life.

  • That's This Week on Channels, wherever you listen to your favorite podcast.

  • We just project our emotions onto animals.

  • And that has always just like sat wrong for me.

  • I believe that I can read my dog's mind.

  • And I think we have to try to take the dog's point of view.

  • A couple weeks ago, I went to my friend's backyard to see him play a show.

  • So from here on out, it's only songs about dogs.

  • A literal dog show.

  • Well, a good dog on the ground's worth three in the saddle.

  • No matter where you're from.
