It’s because people are listening to podcasts, not music.
A still of two white men in suits in an office boardroom, from the movie The Big Short. The one in the foreground is Jared Vennett, looking towards Chris, who has a face of confidence as if he knows the answer to a question Jared asks (he’s very wrong).
