Not every star-studded show will succeed, of course, but celebrity carries with it the kind of instant familiarity that new shows will need in a cluttered audioverse. Being known will be a critical advantage in getting listeners fast.

And by that I don’t necessarily mean the best “schadenfreude” or “zeitgeist.”
