I wonder if the viewership trends of Left Right and Center after Mr. Barro migrated tell us anything about the bargaining power of personalities because:

1. Mr. Barro was with KCRW for a long time, and was the host of two high profile shows

2. This place has no preexisting user base to convolute, and he made a pretty sharp break, so there's no crosstalk

Personally I stopped listening to LRC a few episodes after he left. I respect the folks running it, and if anything I'm biased towards keeping my subscriptions for free, high quality content vs cancelling them and paying. But it's not the same with new personalities
