Chris Kohler adds dad to the childcare conversation
The launch of Kohler & Kohler brings a free-childcare question to a week also filled with finance comedy.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
Should Childcare Be Free?
The sheep drew the crowd. Chris Kohler's staged finance sketch, "I could be a shepherd. #finance #farming #economy", was the most watched of his four uploads, collecting roughly 700,000 views.
Its comments became a small workshop for sheep-related investment jokes: viewers proposed woolly jumpers, cryptocurrency puns and warnings about having the wool pulled over your eyes. Others recognized the dialogue from their own workplaces, especially those working in finance. The joke has an audience well beyond aspiring shepherds.
The week's more substantial arrival was a family conversation. "Should Childcare Be Free?" pairs Chris with his dad, Alan Kohler, to consider free childcare and its broader effects. The accompanying announcement, "Kohler & Kohler is live! Episode 1 is available wherever you get your podcasts.", introduces the podcast with Chris's less grand policy ambition: perhaps getting some babysitting out of Dad.
Meanwhile, "What was that like? #economy #finance" is drawing the largest daily audience among his active videos. The older "But this time IS different. #finance #economy" also remains busy and has passed a million views, while the childcare discussion holds a place among the channel's most active uploads.
Chris is adding subscribers, with a current daily gain of about a thousand. His subscriber audience sits close in size to Bloomberg Podcasts, which has had a busy week; nearby Rachel Cruze's subscriber count was unchanged. For Chris, the new addition is not just another finance topic, but a podcast conversation with Dad.
