--- In this podcast episode, Chris delves into the concept of "head" and "tail" content, a theory first presented by Chris Anderson in his book "The Long Tail." Chris highlights how the constant growth of content has led to a vast disparity between widely recognized and consumed "head" content created by large media corporations and the lesser-known "tail" content, which is often user-generated.
