In this episode of Brandstorm, we welcome Kipper McGee, author of the book Brandwidth: How Big Broadcasting is Missing the Mediamorphosis. Kipper discusses how terrestrial radio is grappling with its relevancy, and what stations need to embrace for the future. Kipper McGeeA radio fan from the start, Kipper grew up listening to stations like Chicago's 890 WLS AM, as well as Milwaukee's 920 WOKY AM and 620 WTMJ AM. In the early 1980's, Kipper and a talented staff that included Brandstorm co-host Dan Trzinski helped put Milwaukee's 94.5 WKTI FM on the map. They took an automated music station with low ratings and no personalities and built it into the #1 station in the market during pop music's renaissance. Back then, it was unheard of to have a discussion-fueled morning show with little-to-no music, but this revolutionary idea worked. The morning team of Reitman & Mueller was a ratings sensation at WKTI for over 25 years, and the morning talk show format is still being used on stations all over the country. Kipper started as on-air talent, but has worked in virtually every radio position available in different cities across the United States, including Des Moines, Orlando, St. Louis and New Orleans. Eventually, Kipper joined WLS and ran that station in the mid-to-late 2000's. Currently, Kipper is a digital marketing consultant, whose clients include Internet start-ups, broadcast networks and Fortune 500 companies such as Delta Airlines and Nokia. He is a frequent speaker, panelist and presenter at national broadcasting conventions, and is chief strategist at Kipper McGee, LLC. Brandwidth: How Big Broadcasting is Missing the MediamorphosisKipper's book recently had a second press run, as his message remains as applicable today as it was when the book was published in 2015. He feels that broadcast media, specifically radio, is not evolving enough to stay relevant in today's digital age. He goes as far to say in his book that if the broadcast industry dies, it will be ruled a suicide. Whether it's due to fear of change, too much downsizing, inertia or comfort in the status quo, many in the radio industry have avoided using social media, podcasting, video and other potential extensions of their brand to promote and interact with audiences. With podcasting specifically, Kipper says the radio mentality thus far has been to treat this marketing tool as a glorified DVR, relying on rerunning previously-aired content. He believes that the smart way to go with a radio station's podcasting arm is to create unique and preferably shorter content. Kipper also recommends that stations create a second stream online, where listeners can get the same music that is aired on terrestrial radio, with less interruptions. The Current State of RadioWhile recent studies show that 95% of people still listen to the radio at least once a week, it's clear that those same listeners are not spending the same amount of time with it as they once did. About 35% of homes no longer have a radio, and Kipper believes more stations should be taking advantage of the uptick in homes that have invested in home-listening devices like the Amazon Echo, Google Home or Apple's HomePod. It may disrupt an advertiser's standard way of thinking, but it's important to realize the potential difference between 30,000 people who simply hear your ad and the 6,000 legitimate prospects you can create with this new approach that targets individual listening habits. Kipper explains that radio is one of the few mediums left that still airs 60-second, linear, one-dimensional audio ad messages. Television now offers 30-, 15-, 10-, and even 5-second ads. Why couldn't radio explore ads that simply refer listeners to an icon on their touchscreen? While the technology does not yet exist for such segmented advertising on in-home devices, it will soon. In the meantime, advertisers can still create a database or track listeners if they use an app or have an account with a radio station that requires a log-in or email address. Why Radio Hasn't Mastered Social MediaTo Kipper, the fact that the radio industry has yet to fully embrace social media is mainly due to budgets and the bandwidth of each station's shrinking staff. These days, each person on the team usually does multiple jobs, including on-air talent. When an intern must juggle social media posts for an entire radio group, or a D.J. is expected to record his or her own show and write multiple blogs, in addition to creating social media posts before clocking out for the day, it's no wonder that true interactivity through social media isn't being explored. Why Facts Have Become Less ImportantThe facts of who, what, when, where, why and how have become less important to consumers than how quickly we get that information. In the past, we would go to the morning or evening paper for facts, but today, we are barraged with facts 24/7 via our mobile phones and television's news cycle. The question is no longer "what has happened," but more so, "what is happening now, what's in it for me and what's next?" Using Kipper's example, the results of an election do not matter to people as much as how the winner's platform will affect their day-to-day lives. Kipper says that broadcast news needs to be forward-thinking, and not prone to regurgitating news that has already been broadcast several times during the day or night. How Radio Advertising Needs to ChangeAs programming becomes more segmented, in response to streaming services like Spotify or satellite radio, there will soon be no need for people to hear the same advertisements. More and more, ads will be targeted to listeners based on individual interests and habits, much like how Amazon and Google can recommend different products or websites to different users, based on their individual search histories. Survival Tips for Radio StationsRadio stations need to think bigger, better and brighter, according to Kipper. They need to take time to step back and be innovative. Terrestial radio needs to be technologically in sync with the current culture. Apps like iHeartRadio are great for people who like to listen to music, but they are too generalized and could stand to be more local. Ad agencies, like Platypus, need to take a leadership role in helping radio stations embrace new media to not only bring added value to radio clients, but also to create new revenue streams.

This week, we present outspoken commentator and podcaster Peter Cohen, who focuses on such topics as recent concerns about the alleged poor sales of Apple's HomePod smart speaker system. You'll also hear Peter explain why he loves his Apple Watch, what he uses it for, and about its ongoing success; it's now the best selling wearable in he world. And what about the possibilities for the next Mac Pro, due some time in 2019 according to Apple? What about renewed rumors that Apple plans to move Macs from Intel processors to its own ARM-based designs? Are there pitfalls? What about emulating Intel apps, at least at the start, and running Windows apps as you can do now on a Mac? To be brief, Gene remains skeptical that it's going to happen anytime soon. You'll also hear from John Martellaro, Senior Editor, Analysis & Reviews for The Mac Observer. The bill of fare this week includes Apple CEO Tim Cook's denial that Apple plans to merge iOS and macOS into some sort of converged product. What about Amazon's Fire TV Edition sets, and will they do what Apple TV can't? Should Apple be licensing its set-top box technology to TV makers? John also discusses the reported struggles of the HomePod, and how the next Mac Pro, due in 2019, will be "fundamentally different" from previous models because Apple plans to focus heavily on making professional workflows run more efficiently. And what about Apple's recent educational event, where a new $329 iPad was introduced? Could it be that Apple is attempting to regain traction in the educational market with an obsolete formula? Can they possibly turn things around, or are Chromebooks going to continue to stay ahead?

Don't be surprised. Apple's HomePod, their revolutionary speaker, is having slumping sales after gathering 10% of the market (percentage calculated by analysts). HomeKit simply does not come close to having the amount of integrations that Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant have. Additionally, couple this fact with the higher cost of buying the product -- it makes it less viable overall. While Apple wants to tout this as "speaker first", it's only a true smart speaker for Apple Music while having only AirPlay support for anything non-Apple.

An all-star duo (Lauren Golembiewski of Voxable; Michael Fitzpatrick of PullString) discuss the latest in voice technology news, including Adobe's acquisition of #VoiceFirst startup Sayspring, Apple's HomePod predicted to only sell two million units, Amazon's release of the Intent Request API, Google's advances in AI in advertising and publishing, and the BBC's piece on "I Tried To Make Alexa My Best Friend." This Week In Voice is hosted by Bradley Metrock (CEO, Score Publishing) and is part of the VoiceFirst.FM podcast network.

Apple can't be thrilled with HomePod sales. Consumers aren't thrilled with what it can do for $349. So make a better product. The (PRODUCT) RED iPhone 8 and 8 Plus are on sale, a cheaper HomePod could be coming this year and Apple Music hits 40 million subscribers. Plus, Brian's first parody of the year. HomePod Apple Style!

TechCentral — In this episode of TalkCentral, your hosts Duncan McLeod and Regardt van der Berg chat about the steps communications regulator Icasa is taking to possibly introduce digital radio broadcasting in South Africa -- what is it exactly, and should we be excited? Also on the show this week, there are signs of spring in the South African economy, says the CEO of Pinnacle. Plus, Xiaomi might be buying GoPro, Telegram is banned in Russia and Apple's HomePod speaker sales disappoint. Listen to the show to find out who's been picked as winner and loser of the week. Regardt's pick this week in HP's 17-inch Omen gaming laptop, while Duncan has picked porting.co.za for looking up which network South African phone numbers are on.

HomePod is Apple's much-publicized competition to Amazon's best seller, the Amazon Echo. Since its very recent introduction, HomePod sales have been nothing less than dismal. The word is out that it's real trouble. But here's why you might want to buy one anyway.

We went hands on with LaCie's 6Big and talk all about it. Plus Apple's HomePod and our impressons.

On this week's episode, we feature outspoken podcaster and columnist Kirk McElhearn, who focuses heavily on his experiences with Apple's HomePod. He explains the problems he's found with the product, particularly a bassy response, and problems with Apple's Siri voice assistant. Will future software updates allow you to adjust the frequency profile of a HomePod, other than with iTunes? What about improving Siri's recognition accuracy? What about eliminating the problem where it leaves white rings on wood surfaces that are tied or waxed? Kirk also covers possible future Macs, such as a new Mac Pro and whether there will be an upgrade to the Mac mini, which hasn't been updated since 2014? Gene continues his suggestion that HP's Z2 Mini Workstation is a potential future direction with the Mac mini, offering powerful performance at a relatively low cost. You'll also hear from commentator Bryan Chaffin, co-founder and co-publisher of The Mac Observer, He also talks about the HomePad, and his perception of its sonic quality and future prospects. What about the still-delayed AirPlay 2 feature that was first promised to Apple users in iOS 11 last year? What about the curious disconnect between unproven claims that iPhone X sales collapsed last year, compared to Apple's own financials that indicated high sales and revenue for iPhones, and reports that the iPhone X was the highest selling model  on the planet during the weeks it was on sale? How do such false stories get started and why do they continue even after Apple reviewed the truth? There's also talk about the unexpected success of the Apple Watch which, in 2017, became the number one best selling wearable on the planet. This comes after the Apple Watch was regarded as a tepid performer in the marketplace for so long.

Welcome to episode 86 of the EdTech Situation Room from February 21, 2018, where technology news meets educational analysis. This week Jason Neiffer (@techsavvyteach) and Wes Fryer (@wfryer) discussed Apple's HomePod and the generally negative reviews it hass received in the technology press, Chrome news including PWAs (progressive web apps), and social media's dark side revealed through the Parkland, Florida, school shooting incident. Additional topics included the need for ethics in artificial intelligence (AI), a recent historical look at AI's ascendency at Google, and Facebook's role in the Russia probe / election hack over time. Geeks of the week included Reply, by Google and Textra SMS (from Jason) and Twitter Moments (from Wes). Subscribe to @edtechSR on Twitter for updates.

Dave took one for the team and got himself a HomePod, so we dig deep and discuss why it should or should not be your personal assistant. We discuss apps for managing podcasts, third-party keyboards, spam caller blocking, and camera tweaks. We also cover apps that repurpose your devices in fun ways.

If you are an Apple user with a discerning taste for sound, and this will be your first speaker, then go for it! The sound is amazing and the internal microphone recognition is uncontested. Unfortunately, there were more downsides than value for Dave to keep the HomePod. It could not compete with other devices that already suit Dave’s personal assistant needs. There is no Spotify or SiriusXM — it’s Apple Music all the way and will likely remain that way. You can’t make phone calls or manage your calendar from HomePod. As Melissa points out, it really doesn’t seem like it’s a family-friendly product at this time as there are no distinguished voices. While it may currently disappoint on features, the hardware is impeccably crafted giving it great potential to be more than just another assistant in a can. We think HomePod can only get better and we look forward to future iterations. Melissa discusses her recent presentation at her local Mac Users’ Group on the topic of podcatchers. We will keep evaluating these apps for you, our dear listeners, and report our observations so you can make informed choices. Apple's HomePod speaker: Either way late or way early — Yahoo!

Both Segments: Sandy Berger. Compukiss, Correspondent. I am a geek from way back. I started off as a computer programmer some thirty-odd years ago. I was one of the few women in technology way back then, so I often take an different viewpoint on technology. Unlike many other technology journalists, I started off as a technology-lover and moved into journalism. I have authored seven books about computers and technology and am working on the eighth. See the Great Age Books website for more info on my latest book series. https://www.youtube.com/embed/8Tmw0BLP9fo Today's Topics Include: The voice assistants have entered a new realm, coming in devices with  high end speakers. The two most notable are the Google Max and Apple's HomePod. Let's talk about each of these. My take -- Google Max gets an A and the HomePod gets an D.   For full show notes, check out ComputerAmerica.com!

After a production delay, Apple's HomePod speaker, its answer to Google Home and Amazon Echo, hits stores on 2/9. But it's more than three times the cost of most competitors, and has limited audio options. Why buy it? Jefferson Graham previews with Bret Kinsella, the editor of the Voicebot.ai website.

This week's guests include writer/editor Adam Engst, of TidBITS, who delivers an update on the CPU bug and Apple's ongoing fixes to "mitigate," but not eliminate the problem. Adam briefly explains the Meltdown and Spectre bugs, as Gene briefly banters about the connection of the latter name to one of the James Bond villains. There's a brief discussion of CES, which involved the usual presentation of gadgets that most people will forget soon, or will never actually go on sale. And what about the DNS Attack, malware that was recently discovered on the Mac platform? What does it do? Also discussed: Apple's HomePod, which is now available to order, as Gene mentions how TV makers have licensed such technologies as Roku, Amazon and Google Chromecast to replace their usual clunky interfaces. You'll also hear from outspoken columnist Jonny Evans, Computerworld's "Apple Holic," who talks about reports of an "iPhone addiction," in which people supposedly pay too much attention to their smartphones. Gene mentions the well-known phenomenon of lines and lines of people walking about looking down at their mobile gear. Apple's CarPlay is briefly mentioned, along with the 2018 CES in which, again, many of the announcements involved gadgets that will never see the light of day. Jonny brings up privacy in connection with Amazon's Alexa, about the world's largest online retailer's interface turning up on some TV sets. After Gene lists the connection cables he needs for his TV and his iMac, Jonny makes a strong pitch for "cable free," in which all your gear can be connected without the need for wires and endless wire clutter.

An all-star duo (Brooke Hawkins of Nuance Communications; Nick Schwab of Ford Motor Company and founder of Invoke Apps) discuss the latest in voice technology news, including Will.I.Am's $117 million enterprise voice assistant effort, Google Home Max's competitive positioning relative to Apple's HomePod, how the BBC's and Stranger Things' new interactive games are a harbinger of a future with voice-first publishing, a discussion on whether voice assistants like Alexa are ushering in the end of the smartphone, and the delay of Mattel's Hello Barbie Hologram voice assistant toy.

This week, the crew of the Space Javelin have to start off with some scary news regarding security issues, and they put it right up front to stress how important it is. Yet *again,* it is time to change your Yahoo (and associated services, like Flickr) password, or better yet invoke your own personal "three breaches and you're out" rule, because security and Yahoo haven't been on speaking terms for at least the last three years. The new revelations are actually about the 2013 security breach, but it's now apparently that all three billion accounts were compromised. Even if you haven't used your Yahoo account in years, change the security questions, change the password, delete it entirely (if you wish), and be sure to change the password on other sites if you used the same password anywhere else (and slap yourself on the wrists for that). In related head-slapping news, it turns out that High Sierra *introduced* a vulnerability in Keychain. Apple fixed it pretty quick, but you need to update it for the protections to take effect, so if you haven't, grab the "Supplemental Update" from the Mac App Store -- and also see Adobe Indesign start working properly again (Illustrator is still borked for the moment, however). Also tackled: a flat-earther type theory that older iPhones are slowed down is myth-busted; the scattered and few reports about swollen batteries in some iPhone 8 Plus units; Google's latest new toys, and a spec-sheet matchup between the Home Max, Apple's Homepod, and the Sonos 1. But wait, there's more! Samsung's incredibly profitable relationship with Apple! Netflix jacks prices again! The Apple 5c and the FBI! Parallels 13 is out! Office ... um ... 2018 probably ... coming soon! The Edge browser comes to iOS! MLB's Apple Watch non-scandal resolved! Bert Berns and Clive Davis documentaries on Apple Music (what?), and of course all this and more, cadets, so prepare to enter the wormhole of tech news on this week's episode!

Britons - including honorary locals Josh and Ed - headed to the polls today after an election campaign that involved both some seriously positive and negative attention on some of the world's largest tech companies. What did Facebook, YouTube and others do to try and get out the youth vote, and will it make a difference to the result? Also, this week was Apple's annual World Wide Developers' Conference, and they finally took the wraps off its HomePod speakers, which feature Siri in a bid to compete with the established Google Home and Amazon Echo products. But, at an eye-watering $349 and with Siri's - and even Apple's - reputation in the toilet, is it too little, too late, and just too high a price tag? Finally, Michele our Techno Dinosaur bought a new phone recently, but she's having trouble getting her contacts transferred over from her old handset. And Oli makes a guest appearance on our Dinosaur segment as he tried to work out how to best keep his photos all in one place. Recorded on 8 June 2017 at Park Town Studios, London, England.
