What is the Difference Between Speakers and Authors?

At first glance you might ask why we need both authors and speakers and what is the main difference. As the media hub has such a variety of posts, it also calls for a variety of creators that are associated with each media item. 

Authors are the main creator category, you will notice that every media post that you create will require an author, which can be displayed as an ‘author’ for posts like blogs, videos, downloads, and insights. However, for the events and podcasts the authors are displayed as Hosts and Speakers respectively. 

Speakers are the secondary creators, who are usually guest speakers for both events and podcasts.
