Whether the audience turns out for them: how the episodes they appear on perform against that show's own average. They are ahead of 92% of rated voices on it.92
How central they are to the conversation: who they appear alongside in the guest network, and how connected those people are in turn. They are ahead of 38% of rated voices on it.38
