re: Meateater acquires First Lite.

Vortex is much bigger than First Lite is and it's most likely the Chernin Group that bought First Lite, not Steve himself

Every news release I've seen is pretty clear that it's Meateater that purchased FL, but since Chernin has a controlling stake in Meateater, it's probably a big chunk of their money that helped buy it.

Either way, Rinella is really growing Meateater into much more than a podcast, a Netflix series, and a few books.
