In this episode Jack Nerad and Chris Teague bring you an SUV-heavy road test lineup featuring four dramatically different models, each offering its own take on size, capability, and innovation. Co-Host Chris Teague kicks things off with an evaluation of the all-new 2025 Acura ADX, a premium compact SUV that debuts as Acura's most accessible model yet. It blends youthful styling with solid driving dynamics and top-tier technology, including a 10.2-inch digital cockpit, wireless smartphone integration, and available Google built-in with a Bang & Olufsen sound system. The ADX also impresses with class-leading cargo space and standard AcuraWatch safety tech. In his half of the small luxury crossover faceoff, Host Jack Nerad reports on the 2025 Lexus UX 300h AWD F Sport Handling, a sharply styled compact crossover that merges fuel-sipping hybrid technology with sporty flourishes. With 196 horsepower and a refined AWD setup, it delivers solid handling and upscale features like faux leather seating, a head-up display, and Lexus Safety System+ 3.0, making it a city-friendly luxury crossover. How do the ADX and UX stack up? Jack and Chris will offer their opinions. Later in the show, it'll be time for the big boys — the all-new 2025 Ford Expedition Tremor and the 2025 Nissan Armada. Fully redesigned for 2025, the Nissan Armada is now more capable and refined than ever. Armed with a 425-horsepower twin-turbo V6 and up to 8,500 pounds of towing capacity, the new Armada introduces the rugged PRO-4X trim, complete with off-road hardware like air suspension, locking differential, and skid plates. But Chris took the luxury route in the Armada Platinum. Inside, its spacious, tech-loaded cabin rivals luxury SUVs, while ProPILOT Assist and Safety Shield 360 enhance confidence on the road. Traveling to Louisville, Kentucky, Jack took the wheel of the 2025 Ford Expedition Tremor, Ford's most off-road-ready full-size SUV to date. Outfitted with a 440-horsepower twin-turbo V6, 33-inch all-terrain tires, Trail Turn Assist, and 10.6 inches of ground clearance, the Tremor takes on rugged terrain while still providing roomy three-row seating and high-tech features like the new Ford Digital Experience and BlueCruise 1.4 hands-free driving. Jack and his wife Sandi put it through its paces during a Ford-sponsored on- and off-road event, and he'll have a full report. In the news segment, the show covers Toyota's aggressive 2026 product rollout, headlined by a fully hybrid Camry and the retro-inspired Corolla FX Edition. The Camry now comes standard with a 2.5-liter hybrid setup offering up to 51 mpg, while the FX Edition revives '80s styling with limited production flair. Also making headlines is a new congressional proposal that could drastically cut electric vehicle tax incentives. The bill seeks to phase out EV tax credits by 2026 and eliminate credits for leased EVs, a move critics say could stall adoption at a time when EV sales are already softening. Meanwhile, Tesla is facing new scrutiny from U.S. regulators over its planned robotaxi rollout in Austin. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration wants answers on how Tesla's Full Self-Driving system handles poor visibility and other challenging conditions. Nissan is back in the spotlight, but this time for its sweeping Re:Nissan turnaround plan. The strategy slashes vehicle platforms and parts complexity while accelerating product development timelines. It aims to deliver more competitive models faster and with lower costs while, at the same time, closing factories. Stay tuned through the end of the show for a listener question on teen driver training—plus Jack and Chris's top advice for getting new drivers road-ready. All that and more, right here on America on the Road. Jack Nerad's newest book Jack is now offering his newest crime novel, Only One Thing Stays the Same, at a pre-publication price of just $4.99.

C'est une onde de choc dans le monde du numérique : Google est officiellement reconnue coupable d'abus de position dominante dans le secteur de la publicité en ligne. Pendant plus de dix ans, le géant de Mountain View aurait manipulé l'écosystème publicitaire à son avantage, au détriment de la concurrence.Le Département de la Justice américain ne compte pas en rester là. Le 6 mai, il a proposé une sanction radicale : le démantèlement partiel de l'activité publicitaire de Google, avec la vente de deux de ses outils clés – AdX et DFP. Le premier est une place de marché où les espaces publicitaires sont achetés et vendus aux enchères en temps réel. Le second, un gestionnaire qui aide les éditeurs à organiser la diffusion de leurs publicités sur sites, applis ou vidéos.Problème : ces deux plateformes sont au cœur du modèle économique de Google, qui a généré près de 273 milliards de dollars en revenus publicitaires en 2024. En contrôlant toute la chaîne – de l'éditeur à l'annonceur – Google verrouille le marché et s'offre un avantage considérable. Et ce n'est pas tout : ces outils alimentent aussi sa collecte de données, optimisant son ciblage publicitaire. Google conteste fermement ces recommandations, les jugeant injustifiées et nuisibles pour les éditeurs comme pour les annonceurs. Elle propose des mesures alternatives, moins contraignantes. Mais cette affaire n'est pas isolée : dans un autre procès, le DoJ exige aussi la vente de Chrome, son célèbre navigateur. Une demande restée lettre morte depuis un an. Face à ces tensions, la question reste ouverte : les États-Unis vont-ils vraiment oser démanteler une partie du colosse Google ? Hébergé par Acast.

Het Amerikaanse ministerie van Justitie wil Google dwingen om een aantal van zijn advertentiediensten te verkopen. Volgens de rechter heeft Google namelijk een monopolie op de advertentiemarkt. Rosanne Peters vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. Het gaat onder andere om advertentiemarktplaats AdX. Dit is een van de diensten waarmee Google een illegale monopoliemacht heeft verkregen. Justitie noemt AdX 'een kritiek instrument voor Googles concurrentiebeperkende strategieën'. Google zou het onder andere moeilijker maken voor klanten om van advertentiemarktplaats te wisselen.

ADX Energy (ASX:ADX) - Multi-Bagger Potential on Growing Austrian Oil & Gas Producer

Interview with Ian Tchacos, Executive Chairman of ADX Energy Ltd.Recording date: 16th May 2024ADX Energy is an Austrian-focused oil and gas company that has positioned itself to capitalize on Europe's pressing need for new energy supply. By acquiring a large and well-understood asset base from major producer RAG Austria AG, ADX has gained a strategic foothold in the heart of Europe's integrated energy market.The company's near-term growth engine is the Anshof oil discovery in Upper Austria. Since drilling the discovery well in January 2022, ADX has rapidly progressed the field from exploration to production, with current output around 140-150 bopd. The planned multi-well appraisal program aims to boost production to over 1,000 bopd within 12 months.With operating costs of $21/bbl and a realized oil price of $82-83/bbl, ADX Energy wells are highly economic. At the target production rate of 1,000 bopd, Anshof would generate over US$20 million per year of operating cash flow for ADX (70% net interest).In addition, the real prize for ADX is the giant Welchau gas-condensate prospect, where the company made a significant discovery in March 2024. The Welchau-1 exploration well encountered a 115-meter hydrocarbon column and flowed gas/condensate to surface, significantly de-risking the prospect. ADX plans to test Welchau-1 in late 2024 or early 2025, followed by additional drilling and fast-track development.The company's agreements with RAG provide access to critical infrastructure, enabling a potential new discovery to be brought onstream within 12-18 months. Other milestones for ADX include securing a farm-in partner (Xstate Resources) to fund appraisal drilling at Anshof and completing an oversubscribed A$13.5 million placement to institutional investors. The funds ensure ADX is well capitalized to execute its upcoming high-impact drilling campaign.ADX offers investors a rare opportunity to gain exposure to a European pure-play E&P with a rapidly growing production base and multiple large-scale exploration targets. The Anshof oil development provides low-risk, near-term growth, while the massive upside potential at Welchau could be transformational for a company with a market cap of just A$40 million.While ADX carries the inherent risks of any small-cap oil and gas company (exploration failure, operational issues, funding constraints), the potential rewards far outweigh these risks at the current valuation. As the company delivers on its operational milestones and the strategic value of its Austrian portfolio becomes better understood, ADX Energy should be a standout performer in the junior E&P space.View ADX Energy's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/adx-energySign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

My guest on this week's episode of the Mobile Dev Memo podcast is David Philippson. David is the CEO of Dataseat, a mobile DSP that uses contextual signals for targeting and which was acquired by the Verve Group in 2022. Before Dataseat, David was the founder of AdX, the first mobile attribution platform. I originally invited David to the podcast to discuss the significance of the soon-to-be-released iOS privacy features that were announced by Apple at WWDC this year. But our conversation ultimately ended up being focused on the list of SDKs that Apple had recently released before we recorded our podcast. Throughout our conversation, David and I discuss, among other topics: The significance of the new privacy features that Apple announced at WWDC '23, including Privacy Manifests, the use of Required Reasons APIs, and tracking domains; The viability of fingerprinting when nothing but an IP address is available for use, and whether IP address-based fingerprinting will persist; What potential privacy changes Apple might introduce WWDC '24; How DSPs are adapting to ATT; Whether and how brands are adopting programmatic on mobile.

This week on the show, you'll hear part of our conversation with Eric King and Josh Davidson. Josh has been on a few times to talk about collaborative inside-outside projects he works on such as the Certain Days calendar, the greeting cards he helped make of Indigenous political prisoner Oso Blanco's artwork to benefit Zapatista schools in Chiapas, and the Rattling The Cages book that he co-edited with Eric King. Eric was just released in December 2023 into a halfway house in Colorado after nearly 10 years in Federal prisons across the country. Eric is an anarchist who was incarcerated for an attempt to molotov the office of a Democratic Party official in Kansas City in solidarity with the then-going Ferguson Uprising following the murder of Michael Brown by police there. An antifascist and antiracist, Eric was moved around a lot during the 10 years he was inside and pitted against nazi prisoners in fight scenarios in a few instances, and near the end of his bid he was accused of assaulting an officer and successfully defending himself from a possible 20 year addition to his time inside but suffered intense isolation, insecurity, mail / phone and visitation blocks, moves across the country and physical restraint, ending up at the federal prison system's most intense prison, the supermax ADX in Florence, CO. For the hour, the guests speak about prisoner support, putting the book together, the implications and effects of long term isolation related topics. You can find more of Erics thoughts and updates at SupportEricKing.Org and similarly named social media accounts. Our past chats with Josh  Our past interviews with Eric Announcement Hunger Strike at Red Onion State Prison (VA) Prisoners at the Red Onion State Prison in Virginia have been on hunger strike since December 26th against the illegal and cruel use of solitary confinement at the facility in spite of procedures put into place last summer by the Virginia government. Here're some words from the support site for Minister of Defense of the Revolutionary Intercommunal Black Panther Party, Kevin "Rashid" Johnson. From rashidmod.com : “On Tuesday, December 26, 2023, several prisoners confined at Virginia's Red Onion State Prison began a hunger strike to protest the continued use of long-term solitary confinement within the institution.Despite critical concern, outcry from the public and prisoner populations in the state, incarcerated people are still subjected to this brutal practice which has been renamed “restorative housing” since July 1, 2023 when measures were passed to limit its use in the state.  Leading these prisoners in this effort is longtime prison activist, revolutionary writer and artist, Kevin “Rashid” Johnson. Rashid has stated that no one will take any food at all until demands are met. Some of the strike participants have underlying health concerns that make the undertaking of such a demonstration particularly risky. Rashid, himself, is recovering from multiple rounds of radiation to treat prostate cancer as well as suffering from untreated heart disease/congestive heart failure. This is why the public's support is especially needed. We are asking that calls, emails, and letters be sent to the Virginia Department of Corrections (VADOC) officials as well as Virginia governor Glenn Youngkin's office voicing support for the strikers and condemnation for the inhumane use of long-term solitary confinement/restorative housing.” Red Onion Hunger Strike Participants: Kevin “Rashid” Johnson – 1007485 Jason Barrett – 1092874 Rodney Lester – 1429887 Charles Cousino – 2213403 Eric Thompson – 1208012 Joe Thomas – 1193196 Who To Contact: VADOC~ Central Administration; USPS— P.O.

De Europese Commissie verdenkt Google van het misbruiken van zijn greep op onlinereclame. Het bedrijf hangt opnieuw een boete van vele miljarden euro's boven het hoofd en wordt mogelijk gedwongen om een deel van zijn activiteiten af te stoten. Google heeft concurrenten weggedrukt bij het middelen tussen adverteerders en aanbieders van advertentieruimte, oordeelt de Europese Commissie in een voorlopige uitkomst van het onderzoek. Volgens Brussel veroordeelde Google zijn eigen onlineadvertentiebeurs AdX, waardoor het klanten aan zich kon binden en hoge prijzen kon vragen voor zijn diensten. Verder in deze Tech Update: Sociale media blijven populariteit winnen als nieuwsbron, ten koste van traditionele (online-) media. Dat blijkt uit de jaarlijkse Digital News Report van Reuters.

The police officers, doctors, school teachers, dentists, bishops, and the church folks that raped me were men and women who were traffickers, pimps, and customers of child sex tourism. They ended up serving life in prison without the possibility of parole for being caught sexually enslaving the children within sexual slavery that I personally knew. The church folks within sexual slavery also ended up serving life in prison without the possibility of parole for physically abusing adults that I personally knew in the crime world. I was raped by some government employees and some corporate America employees within the sexual slavery world. Sexual misconduct is real, it happened to me repeatedly. They ended up being in solitary confinement within super-maximum security (supermax) prisons or administrative maximum (ADX) prisons. Their bloodthirstiness cost them the entirety of their outside world freedom. I am against bad police and I love good police. I am against bad medical professionals and I love good medical professionals. Also, I saw some criminals were legally punished for impersonating law enforcement and medical professionals for child abuse purposes and adult abuse purposes. There are church people out there that know how to be fully sensitive to me. As a child, I was forced to shoot a pistol on the air by a couple of male misogynists who thought I wasn't capable of protecting women. Their minds quickly changed and I wasn't forced to shoot in the air anymore after that. “Child sex tourism has been closely linked to poverty, armed conflicts, rapid industrialization, and exploding population growth.[10] For instance, street children in Latin America and Southeast Asia often turn to prostitution as a last resort. Additionally, vulnerable children are easy targets for exploitation by traffickers.[10] South Africa,[11] the United States,[12] Thailand, Cambodia, India, Brazil, and Mexico have been identified as leading hotspots of child sexual exploitation.[13] Also, child victim ages have been found in Cambodia, Myanmar, the Philippines, and Thailand to range from 6 to 11 years old, followed by 12 to 15 years old, and 15 to 17.[14] In 2012, the Special Rapporteur on the sale of children, child prostitution, and child pornography reported: "Countries of origin of international child sex tourists vary depending on the regions, but the demand is usually recognized as coming from the industrialized countries, including the richer countries of Europe, North America, the Russian Federation, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. Australians, for instance, have been identified as the largest group of sex tourists prosecuted in Thailand (31 percent of the total). Of the 146 cases investigated by Action Pour Les Enfants (APLE) in Cambodia between 2003 and April 2012, 32 were American, 24 were French and 20 were Vietnamese. In the coastal regions of Kenya, for example, 30 percent were residents and 70 percent of the abusers were foreign: Italians (18 percent), Germans (14 percent), and Swiss (12 percent), with tourists coming from Uganda and the United Republic of Tanzania fifth and sixth on the list. According to available information in Costa Rica, between 1999 and 2005, the Child Exploitation Unit arrested 74 persons on suspicion of commercial sexual exploitation of children. Of those arrested, 56 were Costa Rican nationals and 18 foreign nationals".[15]” I am a part of the Anti-pedophile activism which encompasses opposition to pedophiles, pedophile advocacy groups, child pornography, and child sexual abuse. Much of the direct action classified as "anti-pedophile" involves demonstrations against sex offenders, against groups advocating age of consent reform, legalization of sexual activity between adults and children, and against Internet users who solicit sex from underage children and teenagers.” I am also a part of the https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-rape_movement.

You can find a link in the description or visit Magellan dot AI.Shreya: This week: Podcasts are coming to YouTube Music, Digiday breaks down the Google antitrust case, Podnews publishes a deep dive on podcasting in Japan, and how marketers are looking at Q2. Let's get started.Podcasts are coming to YouTube MusicManuela: Since the release of the YouTube Podcasts webpage last year, there has been little in the way of concrete feature announcements from YouTube, leaving some skeptical of Google's commitment. After all, podcasting has been burned by companies veering away from podcast support at the 11th hour. Last Thursday, during the Hot Pod Summit at On Air Fest, YouTube Podcast Lead Kai Chuck took to announce YouTube is releasing a beta version of podcasting functionality for YouTube accounts, as well as adding podcasts to YouTube Music in the near future. A quote from Chuck, pulled from J. Clara Chan's coverage: “The message that I would hope folks are taking away is YouTube, at large, independent of YouTube Music, is looking to better support podcasters and [recognizes] that podcasting is generally an audio-first medium.” Once implemented, YouTube Music listeners will likely have a comparable podcast listening experience to current offerings with Spotify and Apple. As reported on the official YouTube blog in August, YouTube Music has a subscriber base of around 80 million users split across YouTube Music and YouTube Premium. Not bad, but it pales in comparison to YouTube's over two billion users. According to Chuck, there are intentions to bridge the gap between the platforms. A quote from Chuck, pulled from Ariel Shapiro's coverage: “I don't expect podcasts to only live on YouTube Music, that's the only way that people consume podcasts on YouTube,” Chuk said. “We expect there to be kind of a back and forth between the two.”Shapiro then says Google product lead for podcasting Steve McLendon gave an explanation of how the feature would ultimately work, describing seamlessly continuing a podcast episode that had been started on a desktop computer watching YouTube to an audio feed while driving home from work. While not directly related to podcasting, another promising audio feature was announced for YouTube last week: multi-language audio tracks. Currently in beta and piloted by popular content creators like Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson, the feature will allow creators to upload alternate audio tracks to dub new and existing videos in different languages. If properly supported and implemented, this could have interesting implementations for podcasting in future.In the February 21st issue of the Sounds Profitable newsletter, Bryan Barletta detailed several ways Google could win back trust from skeptical podcasters and show they're committed to integrating with the industry. One way mentioned was a commitment to RSS ingestion and integration. While a step in the right direction, Chuck's announcement didn't completely deliver this. A quote from Chan's presentation: “Definitely support for RSS is something we are looking at. I would say, probably initially, we will leverage RSS to make it easier for podcasters to bring shows to YouTube. In terms of future plans, things like that, we're sort of exploring what should our goal be.” So podcasts are coming to YouTube. Kind of. As Chuck said, the current vision for RSS integration is less integration and more an automatic import to bring the file into YouTube's ecosystem. Promising steps are being made towards YouTube integrating into podcasting, instead of YouTube turning podcasters into YouTubers who occasionally upload audio elsewhere, but we're not out of the woods yet. WTF is going on with the Google antitrust case? Shreya: Back in late January the Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against Google, alleging the search engine giant had created a monopoly in the ad tech market as well. The 155 page lawsuit argues Google has used a combination of ad tech tools like their ad exchange and publisher ad server to corner the market on programmatic ads. Last week Digiday senior media editor Tim Peterson published a brief piece collecting together the first three installments of a series of videos explaining the DoJ's lawsuit, as well as the basic fundamentals of ad tech needed to understand the situation. In general, the crux of the lawsuit centers around Google having a DSP in the form of Display & Video 360, an ad exchange platform in AdX, and a publisher ad server in Google Ad Manager. A tech stack that, if leveraged a certain way, would give preferential treatment to Google's interests. A quote from the DoJ lawsuit: “By allowing only its own publisher ad server effective access to important, unique Google Ads' demand, Google could force publishers to adopt and remain on its publisher ad server; other ad servers could not compete to offer a similar product.” The situation is further exacerbated by Google's sheer size in the adtech industry. According to the lawsuit's allegations, Google's market share for ad servers jumped from 60% in 2008 to 90% in 2015. The DoJ cites a 2016 customer presentation in which Google stressed this 90% market share, describing their publisher ad server as the quote-unquote “defacto” choice. Even now, as alleged by the lawsuit, header bidding can't escape Google's first-look clauses. From the lawsuit: “Critically, through dynamic allocation, Google's ad exchange always received this “lastlook” advantage, essentially a right to buy any impression as long as it had at least one advertiser willing to match the competing bid price from the header bidding auction.” Podcasting as an industry has many paths in front of it right now. If we choose to go down a handful of current options available, we might find ourselves in the same situation Digital found themselves in with Google. Let's hope podcasting doesn't get to a point where even header bidding can't break free of one company's control. It has been said before on The Download and it will be said again: independent third parties are vital for a healthy industry. Japan: A Podcasting Deep DiveManuela: The first in a series of deep dives into different East and South-East Asian podcast markets by Guang Jin YEO was published last week on Podnews. A sequel to January's Japan: a country overview, this deep dive examines the driving factors behind an industry-defining podcast (such as Serial), explores Japan's existing podcast industry, and explores what could be a podcast category driver in Japan to the point of reaching a similar impact to Serial. It's an uphill battle in Japan, for sure. A snapshot of podcast listener statistics out of the internet population in several countries shows podcasting's weekly reach is just four percent of the total population in a country with an 83% internet-connected population. For comparison, the same graph's data for the US shows 26% weekly reach to the population.Some significant barriers to entry do stand in the way of a thriving Japanese podcast industry. Popular commercial radio syndication apps like Radiko undercut the motivation of radio to repackage segments as podcasts, Japan has far stricter content copyright laws than the US, and most how-to guides built for educating new podcast listeners are only available in English. From the article: “But is it all doom and gloom? Not exactly, TBS - Tokyo Broadcasting Station, the first radio broadcaster in Japan is planning to release a large number of new original podcast programs on all the mainstream podcast outlets - which means that they see value outside of Radiko. Covid also encouraged a surge of creators globally, including Japan which means more people are willing to tackle the complicated copyright laws and more people are willing to explain them to creators.” Global podcasting is growing, and as this deep dive shows, some markets remain full of untapped potential with only a few speed bumps in the way of mainstream adoption. Mixed outlook for Q2, marketers hold hope for second halfShreya: This week Digiday's Kristina Monllos published an article exploring marketer's tempered expectations for the upcoming quarter, as well as hopes for Q3 and Q4. “Marketers are spending, and there are signals that spending could pick up in the second half of the year with more new business pitches happening now, according to agency execs. But there's still a “cautious optimism,” as one agency exec put it when asked to sum up marketers' current mood. At the same time, spending is down compared to the second quarter of last year — agency execs say that it's down roughly 10%, a smaller percentage than many had expected earlier in the year — and marketers are holding onto dollars longer and seeking more flexibility rather than longer-term commitments.” As covered in similar stories over the past few weeks in The Download, the general tone of the industry is that brand building has taken a back seat to performance marketing. Stacey Stewart, U.S. Chief Marketplace Officer at UM, told Digiday the marketers are focusing on short-term planning and flexibility over signing long-term deals. Creative agency Mekanism CEO Jason Harris reports some marketers have adopted a “keep calm and carry on” strategy by continuing to spend and accepting lower profits for higher revenues. Stewart's comment about flexibility is backed up by Harris, who also reports having seen it bleed over into new business pitch practices. While new clients are focusing on taking baby steps with test projects, he also sees promising indications for the future. A quote from Harris in the article: “Pitch activity tells me clients are planning the back half of the year to be busy,” said Harris. “I think this year will turn into a good year.”2023 rolls onward. Q1 has developed into something far less terrifying than predicted four months ago, and the vast majority of us are still alive and kicking. Despite it all, it's hard not to have hope for the rest of the year. It might not be the most stellar year on record, but signs point to good things. Shreya: Finally, it's time for our semi-regular roundup of articles we're calling Quick Hits. These are articles that didn't quite make the cut for today's episode, but are still worth including in your weekend reading.

Covid also encouraged a surge of creators globally, including Japan which means more people are willing to tackle the complicated copyright laws and more people are willing to explain them to creators.” Global podcasting is growing, and as this deep dive shows, some markets remain full of untapped potential with only a few speed bumps in the way of mainstream adoption. Mixed outlook for Q2, marketers hold hope for second halfShreya: This week Digiday's Kristina Monllos published an article exploring marketer's tempered expectations for the upcoming quarter, as well as hopes for Q3 and Q4. “Marketers are spending, and there are signals that spending could pick up in the second half of the year with more new business pitches happening now, according to agency execs. But there's still a “cautious optimism,” as one agency exec put it when asked to sum up marketers' current mood. At the same time, spending is down compared to the second quarter of last year — agency execs say that it's down roughly 10%, a smaller percentage than many had expected earlier in the year — and marketers are holding onto dollars longer and seeking more flexibility rather than longer-term commitments.” As covered in similar stories over the past few weeks in The Download, the general tone of the industry is that brand building has taken a back seat to performance marketing. Stacey Stewart, U.S. Chief Marketplace Officer at UM, told Digiday the marketers are focusing on short-term planning and flexibility over signing long-term deals. Creative agency Mekanism CEO Jason Harris reports some marketers have adopted a “keep calm and carry on” strategy by continuing to spend and accepting lower profits for higher revenues. Stewart's comment about flexibility is backed up by Harris, who also reports having seen it bleed over into new business pitch practices. While new clients are focusing on taking baby steps with test projects, he also sees promising indications for the future. A quote from Harris in the article: “Pitch activity tells me clients are planning the back half of the year to be busy,” said Harris. “I think this year will turn into a good year.”2023 rolls onward. Q1 has developed into something far less terrifying than predicted four months ago, and the vast majority of us are still alive and kicking. Despite it all, it's hard not to have hope for the rest of the year. It might not be the most stellar year on record, but signs point to good things.

Then, to kick off the program's "Yallah!" segment, the hosts spend some time talking about the Dakar Rally, which just wrapped up in the Kingdom, and marvel at the risks taken by the participating drivers.1:24 - Richard's one big thing is the real estate market in Saudi Arabia, and discusses recent informations shared by the global real estate consultancy Knight Frank on the market in the Kingdom as well as the expanding giga-developments being undertaken across Saudi Arabia. Faisal Durrani, Partner – head of Middle East research for Knight Frank, said: “A bold new vision is unfolding in Saudi Arabia. The phenomenal transformation taking place in the world's fastest growing economy is clearly visible across the entire urban landscape. With over 555,000 residential units, more than 275,000 hotel keys, in excess of 4.3 million square metres of retail space and over 6.1 million square metres of new office space expected by 2030, the planned construction in the kingdom will easily make Saudi Arabia the largest construction site the world has ever known."“What's more, healthcare, education and wellbeing sit at the core of the transformative plans, which will contribute to an extraordinary evolution in the kingdom's physical realm, making it unrecognisable from what we see today by the end of the decade.”16:16 - Lucien's one big thing is the big Riyadh metro project, priced at $22.5 billion, which is almost complete. The Riyadh Metro project, the game-changing public transportation project in Saudi Arabia's capital, “will be opened soon,” Rai Al Youm reported on Wednesday, citing the German News Agency (DPA).

A number of high-ranking officials from Saudi Arabia including Saudi ambassador to the US, Princess Reema Bandar Al-Saud and Economy Minister Faisal Alibrahim will attend the conference and participate in a number of panel discussions. More Saudi Women Assume Diplomatic PostsThe number of Saudi women assuming diplomatic positions has increased to five, with the addition of Ambassadors Nisreen Al-Shibel and Haifa Al-Jedia to the list of Saudi representatives in the Kingdom's embassies abroad. They join Princess Rima bint Bandar Al Saud, who took over the duties of the Saudi embassy in Washington, becoming at that time the first Saudi woman to hold the position of ambassador.

The four-team tournament featuring Saudi Arabia, Comoros, Pakistan, and Mauritius, kicked off January 11 and runs until January 19. The hosting of the tournament in Dammam is being hailed as a major milestone for the women's game as the country seeks to achieve a first FIFA ranking. A women's first division is to follow, while the Saudis have also launched a school's league for young women. Defending its crown: Saudi issuers line up deals ahead of big ECM yearAfter a strong IPO year across the GCC, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is poised to strengthen its claim as the region's strongest IPO hub in 2023 fueled by a pipeline of mega listings and private mandates to be won.

TheModernMoron podcast

Welcome to another episode of The Modern Moron… my guest is producer, writer, actor Larry Dorf, yes, that Larry Dorf.  We have a very light early fall chat about a few subjects, namely:  We talk a little about some of the Modern Moron's more successful shows, one being on Phil Hendrie and his mastery of deception with his characters improvising with each other and his work on various animation projects from King of the Hill to Rick and Morty.   I refer to a story Larry told about an audition he had where he was being asked to play NBA legend Larry Bird's father, a story I will get to next time.  I'm sort of giving you this conversation backwards and here's why. Larry Brings up Adnan Syed, who has been released from prison after doing 20 years for a murder he did not commit.  His story was made famous by a podcast called “Serial” which was developed by “This American Life” that you know from NPR.  The podcast “Serial” is owned however, by The New York Times. You already know I'm a moron, so you won't be surprised to find that I am way late to the party on damn near everything and such is the case with the show “Only Murders In The Building”, which is a show about a podcast about a murder.  It's on Hulu and is into production of it's 4th season and I'm told that the show was based on the real podcast “Serial”.  I didn't realize how much… you hear that?  That's the theme music of the podcast “Serial” about Adnan Syed… And this… is the theme song to the Hulu series, “Only Murders in the Building”... Jezz, they could have at leas changed the key it's played in right? This brings up a subject I've been wanting to get to for some time and it's the concept of the Morally Dubious Podcaster.  It probably has other names, but i found an article with that phrase and I thought, “Morally Dubious?  Modern Moron”  They're synonymous. I read an article, have an unqualified opinion about it, say it into a microphone, bam; Morally dubious podcaster.  Only I'm not a celebrity and I don't have guests who are celebrities so, there's only the two of you listening and it works out about the same, just on a much, much smaller scale.  Plus I'm not pretending to try and crack a cold case or find a murderer.   So, Larry explains to me the case of Adnon Syed, and I'm oblivious as you can hear… like a typical old man, I can't seem to get the story straight…  Then Larry turns this into a potential gameshow along the lines of, “How much prison time would you do for a million dollars?”   This is what Hollywood people do for a living. We join our conversation basking in the glory of the first episode Larry did with us called “The Mystery of Mike Tyson” referring to the Adult Swim Animated series “Mike Tyson Mysteries” which is still our most downloaded episode.  Until this one…  CLOSE - And that, friends, is how a game show is created…  in South Korea.  Isn't that a little like the show “Squidgame”?  I couldn't stick with that show… it was too sad and dark for me.  I have enough of that crap running around in my head without watching a tv show about it.   Now that I've had two seconds to think about it, I would not do any time in a prison for any amount of money.  The subculture that goes on in prison is not something I want to pretend like I could tolerate even for a minute.  I did look up some of the lovely prisons both in California and across the country.  Pelican Bay and San Quentin are both nasty, gnarly prisons and so is the downtown county jail in Los Angeles.  Other residences I would not spend a minute in for any amount of money is the ADX, also known as the SuperMax in Colorado.  One article I read on the internet-so-it's-true… says that the structure is built in a way that inmates never see a guard or another prisoner.  I don't know if it's true, I don't want to know, I just trust that I don't want to go there.  Throw in Sing, Sing and Rikers Island in New York, and a few of the prisons in the deep south like The Holman Correctional Facility in Alabama and it just makes me want to be a law abiding citizen.  Why am I going on and on about prisons?  Well, I see in the news recently that a real sweetheart of a guy named Steve Bannon has been recommended to spend four months in prison for contempt of congress.  Hmm.  I wonder if one of the neighborhoods I just mentioned might be a good place for him?  Is anyone else thinking of the movie Deliverance right now?  Does anyone see a similarity between Ned Beaty's character and Steve Bannon?...  A couple of housekeeping items I'd like to pass along starting with two documentaries I'd like to recommend..  The first one is called “A Trip to Infinity” on Netflix.  I found it fascinating, I've watched it twice and am currently forcing my daughter to watch it in 10 minute increments.  Mathematicians, Cosmologists and physicists contemplate the concept of infinity… and it's broken up into different chapters: Infinity is very small, it's very large,infinity as a number in an equation, that the speed of light is both very fast and also very slow, that a circle is actually a polygon with an infinite number of points and in terms of time, infinity is a very very long time and that if you put an apple in an air tight box and wait for infinity years, that apple will eventually morph into anything and everything you could possibly imagine.  Even live versions of Rick and Morty.  So I highly recommend “A Trip to Infinity.” The other documentary is called “All Things Must Pass: The Rise and Fall of Tower Records”.  This subject matter is perfect for our demographic!  I'm sure you spent hours in Tower Records going up and down the isles looking at the amazing Album art that we took for granted then.  Isle after isle until you decided which album you were going to plunk down five dollars and change for, and then I think seven or eight and change and then I lost track.  But that was an important purchase.  And then I would have to sneak by the living room with my bright yellow and red plastic bag hoping my parents wouldn't ask me what I got.  They never did, but if my dad knew I was buying Cheech and Chong, Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy albums?  No way.   And we also had Tower Books and Tower Posters across the street which was actually a head shop where you got everything from bongs to rolling paper to posters of fruits and vegetables doing disgusting things, incense, trippy candles with psychedelic waxes, macrame'd hanging plant holders… Tower records was the best.  The documentary is available on YouTube and I believe right now you can stream it for free.  It's a great documentary.  The only woman who made it as an executive at Tower back in the 70's put it best when she said that whatever Tower records was the one you went to, you thought it was the first Tower Records they ever had.  The documentary is directed by Tom Hanks' son Colin and he does a great job bringing the nostalgia of Tower Records back, whether you found their store in San Francisco on Columbus Avenue or the one on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood, Greenwich Village in New York or wherever you grew up, there was probably a Tower Records where you hung out. Elton John, Bruce Srpingsteen and Dave Grohl, who also worked at a Tower Records in Seattle, all reminisce about how special it was to roam the isles of a Tower Records.  Hanks also does a good job of not letting the documentary end on a downer, even though the internet and a little thing called Napster caused the Tower to crumble, the Japanese stores became independent and are still huge today.  Okay sports fans, that's it, enjoy post season baseball, college football and lots of Halloween candy!  We'll see you next time on the Modern Moron and… the old man show at the oldman-dot-show.
