What can you tell me about the film you’re shooting currently? I know you wrote it, are you directing it as well? A whirlwind of creativity is spiraling around, and I just keep getting dragged, and it’s fun. Immediately after this is done, I have to jet to the airport because I’m flying back to film my movie that I’m making and I wrote. But for myself, I always like to try new things, push myself in new ways so that I can build my own skills, so that I can try new things after that and continue to improve what I make. I like pushing myself - not like I’m trying to push these boundaries that are out there I am weirdly narrow in terms of my worldview of what’s going on out there. I hate terms like influencer, innovator, all this stuff, but I like trying new things. It also just so happens that Spotify is a huge audio platform, a lot of people are listening on Spotify, it does seem like a good place to be and with a team that’s willing to take risks and innovate and that’s also who you want. That’s natural, you want to find a partner that is able to do that. It seemed like they were going to be a good partner that was willing to both support and enhance what we were already able to do. What made this exclusive partnership with Spotify the right decision for your podcasts career-wise? I think that video just offers a more robust way for people to connect. Because it’s a sports related podcast, what we want to do is try to experiment with bringing things outside of just the podcasts that are related, like trying new sports and teaching me things, collaborating with athletes to be able to bring them in and do a video with them - and just show how bad a new guy is versus a pro. But when it comes to “Go!,” me and Tyler are in the same city, so we are able to do that in person. We just so happen to have different living situations. There’s a lot of podcasts out there that would do couch podcasts, I’m sure we would prefer to do that. It just depends, because me and my friends, we actually are not in the same city. What will this video content look like? Will you have live-action podcasts, will it continue to be animated? That’s probably what led more to the partnership than just being like “Oh, ‘Distractible’ is successful, ‘Go’ is successful.” I think they do believe in creators and believe in the people that are making the things that people enjoy. It was really a conversation that we had. I just explained my motivations for making things, the drive I have for creating not just with audio podcasting, but in all things that I do. So it’s a strange thing to come now and there be an official partnership behind it. We’ve been doing that for quite a while now even before “Distractible,” we were always doing that. make content, because we want to make a really enjoyable experience for people while still being like authentic and genuine. How did your partnership with Spotify come about? Shortly before taking the stage to announce his exclusive partnership with Spotify, he chatted with Variety about his podcasts, upcoming film and whether he’ll be in the “Five Nights at Freddy’s” movie. After gaining a following with video game play-through videos, the creator then branched out into various other ventures, creating interactive digital series “A Heist with Markiplier” and “In Space With Markiplier,” as well as a documentary titled “Markiplier From North Korea.” Markiplier, a YouTube creator since 2012, boasts over 34 million subscribers on the platform his videos have garnered over 19 billion views.
