Maya Then one more thing about captions. Most people watch shorts with the sound off, so the captions are the video. Big words, a few at a time, and the word I'm saying right now should be obvious.
Theo Like karaoke.
Maya Exactly like karaoke. If someone can follow the whole short with the sound off, you've made a short. If they can't, you've made a muted podcast.
Theo I'm going to steal that.
Maya Please do. That's the whole episode, really.
