I listen to this podcast every week and I was surprised and pleased to hear them talking about the porn business. I was particularly happy that it wasn’t in a judgy way, but some good business reporting.

Here’s the abstract:
You’ve probably never heard of MindGeek. MindGeek has over 100 million daily visitors. It operates nearly a hundred websites, and consumes more bandwidth than Facebook, Twitter and Amazon. How has MindGeek achieved such success so anymously? The answer has to do with MindGeek’s line of business: pornography. Brooke speaks to Slate writer David Auerbach, who explains how the company gained such dominance in porn.
