Podcasts about bending spoons

In this episode, Kelly and Jay recount an extraordinary night at the International Remote Viewing Association conference in Cloudcroft, New Mexico—one that began as a simple group experiment in spoon bending and ended with a display of unexplained aerial activity over the nearby White Sands Missile Range. As dozens of participants focused their attention around a bonfire, cutlery softened and twisted in their hands—just as amber lights began moving across the desert sky in ways that defied conventional motion. The synchronicity between the two events raised unsettling questions about consciousness, matter, and the possible feedback loop between human intention and the phenomenon itself. Kelly and Jay examine that night moment by moment, reflecting on its implications for remote viewing, psychokinesis, and the broader study of anomalous events. Along the way, they discuss: The history of spoon bending and PK (psychokinesis) experiments, from Jack Houck's “PK parties” to government research programs. The atmosphere and experiments at the IRVA conference, including conversations with legendary remote viewers like Lyn Buchanan, Paul H. Smith, and Dale Graff The simultaneous UAP activity observed near White Sands and its uncanny timing with the group's collective experiment How belief, skepticism, and shared attention can shape reality—and why documenting the anomalous is never just about evidence, but about participation. This episode invites listeners to consider the possibility that consciousness is not a passive observer of the world—but an active participant in its unfolding.

Episode 143: This week, I cover the viewership stats from YouTube's exclusive NFL live global stream, breaking down what the numbers really mean, since many in the media misreported them. I discuss the challenges that the NFL, FOX and ESPN say they have in working with Nielsen, who once again, announced it is changing the way it measures viewership, which is absent of impartiality and transparency. I also detail the latest news and rumors involving WBD, the upcoming TNT Sports app, and the news that the HBO Max platform will lose live sports in the US next year. Also covered are the rumors that Paramount Skydance wants to make a bid for WBD, and I detail why, if a deal were to happen, it would be far more complex than most realize and would not quickly raise ARPU and reduce churn like some suggest.Amazon's quality stream for the season kickoff of Thursday Night Football is discussed, along with DISH price increases, DAZN's new multiview feature for select NFL Game Pass subscribers and news that Walmart+ members can choose between the ad-supported plans of Paramount+ and Peacock and switch every 90 days at no additional cost. Finally, I provide context around the news that Vimeo has agreed to be acquired by Bending Spoons in an all-cash transaction that values Vimeo at approximately $1.38 billion and detail the numbers from Vimeo's balance sheet that most are not looking at, but should be.Podcast produced by Security Halt Media

This week on Grumpy Old Geeks, we're diving headfirst into the digital dumpster fire, starting with follow-up that will make you wonder if the rich are finally getting their comeuppance. It seems Tesla's market share is plummeting, and Elon Musk has been unceremoniously knocked off as the world's wealthiest person. Meanwhile, OpenAI and Microsoft are flirting with new partnership terms, and OpenAI is also reportedly cozying up with Oracle for a cloud computing deal. Are they figuring it all out or just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic? You decide.In the news, it's a feast of AI-induced chaos. Anthropic attempted to settle a copyright lawsuit for $1.5 billion, but a judge rejected it. Apple faces scrutiny for allegedly using pirated books to train AI (because who needs original ideas when you can just steal them?), and everyone from Reddit to Yahoo is rushing to get paid for their data being scraped by AI. Google even admits that the open web is struggling, while pushing ads into AI-generated answers and trying to convince us that DOGE never existed. Meanwhile, millions of YouTube videos have been copied by AI companies—because why create when you can just steal? Not to mention, The Boring Company reportedly stopped tunneling after a "crushing injury" (ironic, huh?), Zuckerberg and Palmer Luckey are teaming up again like a disastrous boy band for military-grade goggles, and Meta whistleblowers are exposing child safety issues. Plus, a hot mic caught Zuck groveling to Trump—the cringe is real. And if that wasn't enough, it turns out AI usage is actually declining at big companies, and programmers using AI are creating more security risks than a screen door on a submarine. It's almost like we saw this coming.For your Media Candy fix, get ready for a dose of existential dread. The MTV Video Music Awards are still happening in 2025, with a median viewer age of 56—because nothing screams "youth culture" like osteoporosis. We'll wonder if Wednesday (aka Charlie Sheen) is still winning and discuss Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Amazon Music is launching AI-powered playlists (because who needs a human DJ when you can have an algorithm that thinks it knows your soul?), and Deezer claims 28% of all new music is AI-generated. Taika Waititi is developing a "potentially disastrous" Fyre Fest musical (we're excited!), Foundation is renewed for season 4, and the HBO Max CEO thinks it's "way underpriced"—bless his heart. Plus, more Highlander reboot news that will probably disappoint, and a look at The Missi & Brooke Show and The Traitors Ireland.Finally, in Apps & Doodads, bad news for AirPods Live Translation in the EU, Evernote and WeTransfer's owner is buying Vimeo, and you need this pettable Poké Ball Tamagotchi-style toy. In The Dark Side with Dave, we'll discuss The Princess Bride, how tariffs are ruining hobbies, and who wants "slop for their ears." This episode shows that some things never change, and most things are just getting worse.

YouTube scored a record 17 million global viewers for its Chiefs-Chargers livestream, Bending Spoons is buying Vimeo for $1.4 billion, and can MTV be resuscitated?

Vimeo è un'azienda fondata nel 2004 che ha vissuto la sua stagione d'oro come alternativa “creativa” a YouTube ma negli ultimi anni ha faticato a trovare un modello sostenibile. Dal 2021, dopo quotazione, il titolo ha perso circa il 90% del suo valore. Ora Bending Spoons è pronta a risollevarla. Nel frattempo Oracle fa annunci spettacoli che fanno volare il titolo in Borsa.

TikTok zorgt volgens het Frans parlement ‘voor levensgevaarlijke omstandigheden' voor minderjarige gebruikers, en daarom is de openbaar aanklager verzocht een kritische onderzoek in te stellen dat kan leiden tot strafrechterlijke vervolging.

Verder in deze Tech Update: YouTube-concurrent Vimeo wordt overgenomen door de zelfde partij die WeTransfer aankocht en grondig veranderde, namelijk Bending Spoons uit Italië Een abonnement op HBO Max is veel te goedkoop en moet gauw duurder worden, aldus de baas van HBO Max, David Zaslav See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Joe Hyrkin is the former CEO of Issuu, a content publishing platform for interactive marketing content. Issuu allows you to easily publish printable and PDF materials in various formats to websites and social media. It's a global product-led success story with millions of customers and a successful and sustainable business. Issuu was started by four Danish founders before the company was moved to Silicon Valley in 2013 when Joe was hired as the CEO. Joe ran the company for almost 12 years, growing it profitably most years to almost $30 million in revenue before it was sold in mid-2024 to Bending Spoons, an Italian holding company that is an active acquirer of software companies.  Joe talks about working with their early venture capital investors with a practical and patient approach. In 2021, Issuu raised $20 million in debt to invest in marketing and address technology issues, which helped them grow faster before being acquired.  Quote from Joe Hyrkin, former CEO of Issuu “From 2016 to 2020, we ran Issuu profitably, with what I like to call a ‘pro-grow' approach—profitable and growing. Then, we raised debt to grow faster to about $30 million in revenue. The final year before we sold, we got back to profitability. So we got to profitability twice. “By being profitable, you're committing to your customers that you're going to be around and that they will not have to go find some other solution. You're communicating to your team that this company can be counted on. In 2024 and 2025, everybody wants profitability, unless you're an AI company. “Not having a profitability plan actually creates a lot of risk. I'm not saying you always have to be profitable, but you always have to have a foundation to know how we get to profitability. It's a different way of thinking.” Links Joe Hyrkin on LinkedIn Issuu on LinkedIn Issuu website Bending Spoons website Podcast Sponsor – Cypress Growth Capital This week's podcast is sponsored by my friends at Cypress Growth Capital.

SummaryIn this episode of the Inorganic Podcast, hosts Christian Hassold and guest Erik Morton delve into the planned acquisition of Brightcove by Bending Spoons. They explore the dynamics of the deal, the market context, and the implications for both companies. Brightcove, a pioneer in online video hosting, faced challenges in a competitive landscape that evolved substantially due to digital video creation and storage innovation, notably the free models offered by YouTube and Vimeo. Christian and Erik discuss Bending Spoons' pattern of being an acquirer of distressed businesses and how they typically run the businesses post-acquisition to maximize return on investment. This episode is an interesting look at how tech “Zombies” find a home through strategic acquisition when operating standalone is not a credible option.TakeawaysThe acquisition of Brightcove by Bending Spoons is part of a broader roll-up strategy that has been executed multiple times prior.Bending Spoons has been particularly interested in notable companies that became distressed due to commoditization or lack of differentiation, yet still had loyal enterprise or SMB customer bases.The acquisition price reflects Brightcove's current market challenges and growth.Public companies face immense pressure to grow, leading to take-private transactions when they cannot without making drastic changes that public markets don't appreciate.The concept of 'zombie' companies is relevant in today's market, highlighting the impact of stagnation on management and employees.We will see more transactions like these as Zombie companies both public and private face growth challenges.Chapter Markers0:00 Introduction2:52 Background on Brightcove5:15 Background on Bending Spoons07:18 Insights on the Deal Valuation11:37 Brightcove's Engineering Costs & Financial Health14:48 Anticipating Radical Changes Post-Acquisition21:46 Investor Returns and Employee Compensation28:25 Takeaways 32:12 ConclusionConnect with Christian & In/organic PodcastChristian's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hassold/In/organic on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/inorganic-podcastIn/organic on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@InorganicPodcast/featuredConnect with E20 guest, Erik Morton on LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/erikimorton/ Hosted on Acast.

Many of the world's most exciting, high-growth and disruptive companies are private. Moreover, the entrepreneurs running them are typically keeping them private for longer before trading their shares on public stock exchanges – and in some cases have no plans to do so. Baillie Gifford's Private Companies Team seeks out exciting businesses and founders in this space to give our clients access to an increasingly important source of long-term growth. Taking a highly selective approach, it has invested more than $9bn across over 140 firms over the past 12 years. In this podcast, Alexander Nicolier explains how it does so and discusses some of our notable holdings. Background: Alexander Nicolier is an investment manager in our Private Companies Team. In this Disruption Week briefing, he reveals the scale of the opportunity and the increasing impact that the sector's restless founders and their exceptional companies are delivering.From SpaceX to Bending Spoons, Epic Games to ByteDance, one of the distinguishing features of these pioneering firms is that they've been able to choose their shareholders. Nicolier reveals why Baillie Gifford's patient approach and reputation have helped make us a favoured partner.He also reveals how deep research helps him and his colleagues embrace the uncertainty that can be involved with backing companies at an earlier stage of growth than many public market stocks. And he introduces some of his team's most recent investments, including the immersive experience specialist Cosm and the next-generation computing company Tenstorrent. Resources: Alexander Nicolier profileArmand Spitz: seller of starsBaillie Gifford Private Companies hubDisruption WeekPrivate companies: investing in trailblazers The hidden cost of software Companies mentioned include: Bending SpoonsByteDanceCosmDisneyEpic GamesLoftMercadoLibreMetaNuBankOdditySpaceXStarlinkTempusTencentTenstorrentTesla  Timecodes: 0:00 Introduction1:30    What's often misunderstood about private companies2:40   Relationship building in Brazil and Colombia3:40   Why reputation matters5:35   “Look out for a gringo”6:30   Private markets' scale7:00   Our clients' advantage9:25   SpaceX and uncertainty12:40  Dealing with setbacks13:45  Bending Spoons' business model16:50  Cosm's ‘shared reality' experience18:50  Tenstorrent and Jim Keller's talent magnetism20:20 The state of the IPO market21:55  Why Epic Games has stayed private25:00  Disney's $1.5bn stake in Epic Games26:40 “Too big to ignore”

In regulatory filings, more details have emerged in Bending Spoons plans to acquire Brightcove, including some terms for employees who stay on with the new company, the number of aggregate shares of company common stock tied to RSU awards, the exact number of Brightcove employees, a disclosure of a "material weakness in internal control over financial reporting,” and other company details. In this special podcast episode, we discuss all the numbers and provide insights into what the deal could mean for Brightcove's future.Podcast produced by Security Halt Media

It's not exactly a secret that Apple has explored the possibility of building a television. Before his death in 2011, co-founder Steve Jobs famously told biographer Walter Isaacson that he'd “finally cracked it,” but no full-fledged Apple TV (as opposed to the Apple TV set-top box) has emerged in the years since; The Australian government has withdrawn a bill that would have fined online platforms up to 5 percent of their global revenue if they failed to stop the spread of misinformation. The bill, which was backed by the Labor government, would have allowed the Australian Communications and Media Authority to create enforceable rules around misinformation; Brightcove, a cloud platform that helps businesses manage and monetize video content, is being taken private by Italian technology company Bending Spoons, in a deal valued at $233 million. Founded in 2004, Brightcove develops tools and services for creating, hosting, streaming, marketing, and monetizing video content; Now you can appear to be on a Zoom call in your office, even when you're sipping a margarita in a hammock far, far away.

Joe launched Issuu back in 2006 to help magazines move digital. He grew to $50m in revenue and raised about $50m. In March 2024 he decided to exit in a nine figure deal. How'd the deal go down? Why did he go with Bending Spoons?

Every entrepreneur dreams of turning a small startup into a global powerhouse. But how do you do it without following the typical "build a product, get funding, scale it, and exit" playbook? Luca Ferrari, founder and CEO of Bending Spoons, did just that— their journey is anything but conventional.It started in 2013, when their first-ever startup Evertale flopped and left them with just $40,000. After Evertale missed PMF, they pivoted, bootstrapping Bending Spoons by focusing on acquiring digital products with solid market fit but untapped potential.Bending Spoons has mastered the art of turning underperforming digital businesses into powerhouses using operational tweaks, AI, and machine learning.In this episode of Neon Show, we sit down with Luca Ferrari in the heart of Milan, at the headquarters of a tech company that's rewriting the rules of how digital businesses scale.Discover their bold acquisition strategy behind major deals like Evernote and Splice, and how they've managed to serve 150 million monthly active users with just 400 employees!Timestamp:00:00 Introduction00:37 Who is Luca and what's Bending Spoons?02:32 Bending Spoons by the numbers: Users and revenue03:05 Recent funding rounds: 2023 and 202404:59 Profitability and use of debt07:27 Luca's previous startup experience10:17 The birth of Bending Spoons in 201313:35 The secret sauce: Product-market fit and talent15:29 First acquisition: iPhone keyboard app18:28 Top revenue generators: Remind, Evernote, Splice20:26 Future acquisition strategy debate24:24 Price range for acquisitions33:29 Transforming acquired products like Evernote37:00 Competing with giants: Evernote vs. Notion42:32 Plans to enter enterprise software45:07 Luca's take on product-market fit47:58 Luck vs. skill in Bending Spoons' success51:30 AI's Impact on Bending Spoons54:42 Why Italy for Bending Spoons?59:08 Going public: Future plans1:00:32 Luca's journey: From small town to tech CEO1:04:27 Why aren't more tech companies starting in Europe?1:10:54 Bending Spoons' unique hiring approach1:14:35 Future growth areas for Bending Spoons1:16:47 The art of pricing in acquisitions1:21:49 How accurate are Bending Spoons' acquisition predictions?-----------------------Hi, I am your host Siddhartha! I have been an entrepreneur from 2012-2017 building two products AddoDoc and Babygogo. After selling my company to SHEROES, I and my partner Nansi decided to start up again. But we felt unequipped in our skillset in 2018 to build a large company. We had known 0-1 journeys from our startups but lacked the experience of building 1-10 journeys. Hence was born The Neon Show (Earlier 100x Entrepreneur) to learn from founders and investors, the mindset to scale yourself and your company. This quest still keeps us excited even after 5 years and doing 200+ episodes.We welcome you to our journey to understand what goes behind building a super successful company. Every episode is done with a very selfish motive, that I and Nansi should come out as a better entrepreneur and professional after absorbing the learnings.—---------------------Check us out on:Website: https://neon.fund/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theneonshoww/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/beneon/Twitter: https://x.com/TheNeonShoww—---------------------Looking to build a differentiated tech startup with a 10X better solution?

Se você já acompanha o Pod Notícias há algum tempo, não é nenhuma novidade que os ouvintes de podcast são um dos melhores públicos pra consumir publicidade. O ouvinte de podcast não odeia anúncios, tende a engajar mais com calls-to-action, e mantém uma conexão de confiança com os seus criadores de conteúdo preferidos. Mas uma pesquisa recente da Morning Consult, que é uma empresa especializada em pesquisas de marketing, mostrou que os ouvintes de podcasts não só consomem os produtos que conhecem através de podcasts, como eles se tornam mini-anunciantes desses produtos, pro seu próprio círculo de amizades. Então, o ouvinte de podcast passa do status de "consumidor" pra "influenciador". É claro que não no mesmo nível dos influencers que trabalham com isso internet afora, mas é uma grande vantagem para as marcas que anunciam. Grandes empresas de mídia, como Spotify e SiriusXM, já estão investindo milhões de dólares em programas populares como The Joe Rogan Experience e Call Her Daddy, por exemplo, mas é a qualidade (e não a quantidade) dessa audiência de podcasts que justifica esses altos investimentos. Essa audiência é a que mais gasta em produtos e experiências, ela é mais ativa em plataformas digitais como Reddit e Instagram, e desempenha um papel importante na formação de tendências. Você quer saber mais sobre os dados levantados por esse relatório? Então acessa o nosso site em podnoticias.com.br e leia a matéria na íntegra, porque lá tem mais informações, como, por exemplo, o poder aquisitivo do ouvinte de podcasts e muito mais. Então não deixa de conferir. Link 2 - E já que a gente começou falando sobre a qualidade da audiência dos podcasts, a segunda notícia desse episódio tem tudo a ver com isso também. O Spotify lançou na última semana uma nova ferramenta de marketing para podcasters, que são: os links de compartilhamento rastreáveis. Essa nova funcionalidade permite que criadores acompanhem todos os cliques e consumo de conteúdo, gerados a partir de links compartilhados no episódio. Com isso, eles vão ter acesso a dados como o número de ouvintes que clicaram e reproduziram um episódio, ou quantos usuários únicos clicaram nos links compartilhados em plataformas externas. Talvez essa explicação tenha ficado meio confusa, mas eu vou simplificar: o foco do recurso é na qualidade do engajamento, ao invés da quantidade de downloads. E isso vai ao encontro da primeira notícia que a gente trouxe aqui pra você: mesmo que o número de ouvintes de podcast não seja pouco, a qualidade da audiência de podcasts é ainda mais importante do que a quantidade. Vários especialistas do mercado de podcasts estão afirmando que novas funcionalidades como essa, vão marcar um passo importante na evolução das métricas. E como já disse meu amigo Gui Baldi na coluna dele lá no site do Pod Notícias: número de download é bom, mas não é 100%. Link 3 - A plataforma de hospedagem de podcasts RSS.com lançou uma nova versão de seu sistema de análises, que agora gera dados mais detalhados e precisos para todos os planos. As novas ferramentas incluem métricas diárias, geolocalização para cada episódio, comparação entre episódios e tendências de longo prazo. O sistema também oferece dados de retenção em tempo real, e filtragem avançada para eliminar bots e downloads maliciosos - que é pra ajudar os podcasts a entenderem melhor o seu público e garantir estatísticas mais confiáveis. As análises já estão disponíveis para todos os usuários, antigos ou novos. Link AINDA EM NOTÍCIAS DA SEMANA: 4 - O Superior Tribunal de Justiça anulou uma prova de um processo de homicídio, depois de considerar as falas de uma perita criminal no podcast "Inteligência Ltda". O STJ anulou a confissão da ré Adriana Pereira Siqueira, condenada por homicídio em 2018, depois que a perita criminal Telma Rocha admitiu no podcast em 2022 que "deu uma forçadinha" (nessas exatas palavras) pra suspeita confessar o crime. De acordo com o relato da Telma, ela fez uma certa pressão psicológica sobre a Adriana e não deu a ela o direito de silêncio - o que é uma violação do princípio da não autoincriminação. Ou seja, se forçou, a prova foi anulada. Agora, como o inquérito inteiro foi construído em cima da confissão da ré, o processo vai ser reaberto e a Adriana vai ser julgada por outras provas. Sobrou pra Telma Rocha também: ela e o outro perito que estava presente no podcast estão sendo investigados pela Corregedoria da Polícia Civil por conduta inadequada e exposição pública de detalhes do caso. O podcast é uma mídia que tem atualmente uma exposição tão grande quanto ou até maior que a própria televisão, e não é por ser na internet que qualquer um acha que pode falar o que bem entender e achar que não vai ter nenhuma consequência. A responsabilidade civil e criminal tem mesmo que ser igual pra todo mundo, seja onde for. Link 5 - A plataforma de transmissão e gravação ao vivo Streamyard resolveu aumentar em 80% o valor da sua assinatura mensal, que passou de $25 dólares pra $44,99 da noite pro dia. Olha só que beleza, hein? Segundo nós, os usuários - porque eu também usava o Streamyard -, o primeiro sinal de que as coisas não iam bem, foi que no mês de julho deste ano a empresa removeu todos os valores de assinatura do site. Não dá pra você encontrar. Se você entrar agora lá no Streamyard, você vai ver que não tem os planos. Ele vai mandar você abrir uma conta e só então você vai ter acesso aos valores, depois que você já deixou e-mail e senha. Então, quando isso aconteceu, já dava pra saber que coisa boa não seria. Vale lembrar também que em abril desse ano o Streamyard foi comprada pelo grupo Bending Spoons, que já é um nome conhecido no mieo por aumentar o preço de todas as plataformas que adquire. Já aconteceu com o Evernote, com o Meetup e várias outras empresas menores. Os fundadores do Streamyard até tentaram comprar a empresa de volta, mas não deu certo. Agora, como já era de se esperar, muitos clientes do Streamyard estão cancelando as suas assinaturas e procurando por alternativas mais acessíveis. E é claro que eles vão achar. Com o mercado aquecido como tá agora, cheio de recursos com boa relação custo x benefício, foi um baita tiro no pé ter aumentado os preços desse jeito sem nenhum aviso prévio. Eu mesmo já cancelei a minha assinatura semana passada. Link 6 - E a empresa Amaze Media Labs lançou o Branded Audience Growth Network, uma plataforma desenvolvida para aumentar a audiência de podcasts corporativos, usando publicidade contextual e tecnologia avançada. A Network basicamente segmenta o público com muita precisão, alinhando os ouvintes com o perfil demográfico que é desejado pelas marcas. Algumas marcas como Dell, Pfizer e Unilever já estão usando a ferramenta para impulsionar o seu conteúdo, e também pra alcançar nichos de público bem específicos. O fundador Brett Sklar declarou que a Network vai elevar o nível de crescimento dos podcasts corporativos, seja através da parceria entre marcas e agências de podcast, ou seja por eles darem espaço para marcas de todos os tamanhos. Todos eles vão ter chance de serem líderes de mercado. Vamos ver. Link E MAIS: 7 - A produtora de podcasts Unlocked, do Reino Unido, anunciou o lançamento de um projeto bem legal: é a incubadora Amplify, criada para apoiar novos criadores de podcasts, e dar pra eles a oportunidade de virar podcasters em tempo integral. Através da Amplify, os criadores de conteúdo vão ganhar suporte editorial, a edição dos seus podcasts, vão poder usar estúdios profissionais gratuitamente e ter oportunidades de crescimento por um ano. E como que isso funciona pra Unlocked? Bom, primeiramente, só 4 podcasts vão ser selecionados pra participar do projeto. Todos eles vão manter os direitos pelos seus programas, bem como a sua liberdade criativa, desde que não viole o regulamento - que tem, sim, alguns vetos; como conteúdos puramente políticos, ou com apologias criminosas... obviamente. A Unlocked vai recuperar esses custos de produção depois que o podcast crescer, pegando uma porcentagem da receita. O que eles estão buscando nesse primeiro momento, são criadores de todos os gêneros, mas com foco em vozes sub-representadas.  O intuito é, claro, criar um mercado de podcasts mais inclusivo e diverso. Bem legal a iniciativa mesmo, é bom ver como cada vez mais oportunidades surgem por aí pra deixar o podcasting ainda maior e mais rico em culturas. Link 8 - Desde o final de agosto, as pessoas que, como eu, compraram o aplicativo Pocket Casts antes de 18 de setembro de 2019 ganharam um novo nome: agora nós somos chamados de "Pocket Casts Champions", ou "Campeões do Pocket Casts". A mudança do nome não muda nada sobre o uso do aplicativo ou do acesso vitalício ao Pocket Casts Plus, a gente ainda pode usar todos os recursos do serviço como antes. Esse novo nome só aconteceu porque a plataforma mudou seu modelo de negócios. E foi mais uma recompensa simbólica para os usuários mais antigos, por terem apostado no app desde o começo e terem ajudado a empresa a crescer. Agora, o aplicativo de celular é gratuito, mas eles criaram uma assinatura chamada Pocket Casts Plus em setembro de 2019, que inclui as versões para web e computador e mais espaço de armazenamento em nuvem, já que o Pocket Casts é um app multiplataforma, ou seja, você pode começar ouvindo no seu Android, continuar de onde parou na versão web em Windows ou Mac e mais tarde seguir no mesmo ponto no seu iPad, por exemplo. É muito prático. Para saber se você se qualifica como Pocket Casts Champion, é só conferir a data e o tipo de compra que você fez. Se você comprou o aplicativo da web antes da data, tem direito ao status de Champion e ao acesso vitalício ao Pocket Casts Plus. Mas, se a compra foi dos aplicativos Android e iOS, eles garantam acesso aos recursos do mobile, mas não qualificam o usuário para o status de Champion. É só um títulozinho, mas é bacana, né? Link 9 - A podcaster e escritora Sheletta Brundidge ganhou um prêmio Emmy® Local da Upper Midwest Chapter. O prêmio foi concedido a ela por ter feito a cobertura completa do evento "Dia dos Empreendedores Negros no Capitólio" - que, aliás, foi um evento que também foi ela mesma quem criou e organizou. A cobertura do Dia dos Empreendedores Negros foi transmitida ao vivo pelo canal KARE 11 e online, dando voz a todas as necessidades dos empreendedores negros que foram discutidas no evento. A Sheletta foi muito elogiada porque usou o próprio podcast como uma abordagem inovadora, já que ela conseguiu tirar o máximo da ocasião sem qualquer apoio de grandes empresas ou canais de TV. E o programa dela é independente, viu? Não tem nenhuma grande rede por trás, não tem patrocínios, nada disso. Ela foi reconhecida por todo o capricho e amor pelo que ela faz. A entrega do prêmio Emmy® vai acontecer no dia 19 de outubro, no Mystic Lake Event Center em Minnesota. Link HOJE NO GIRO SOBRE PESSOAS QUE FAZEM A MÍDIA: 10 - O podcast O Amor na Influência, da Wondery, está de volta em uma segunda temporada cheia de novidades. A primeira delas é na condução do podcast. Nessa temporada, os microfones estão nas mãos de novos co-apresentadores: o ator Gabriel Santana, e a Camila Fremder, do podcast "É Nóia Minha?". Quando perguntados pelo Portal UOL sobre as expectativas pra essa temporada, a Camila disse que está animada em trazer uma nova perspectiva pro programa, enquanto o Gabriel disse que tá animado pra trabalhar com a Camila, especialmente porque O Amor na Influência já foi um sucesso na primeira temporada. O episódio de estreia se chama "Homens meio bicha", e vai falar sobre a desconstrução dos estereótipos de masculinidade e feminilidade. A nova temporada estreia amanhã, dia 17 de setembro. Os episódios continuam sendo lançados semanalmente, e vão estar disponíveis em todas as plataformas de streaming e no YouTube da Wondery Brasil. Link SOBRE LANÇAMENTOS: 11 - Na última quinta-feira, dia 12 de setembro, a jornalista e autora Liege Barbalho lançou o primeiro episódio do D'vera Podcast, com transmissão ao vivo pelo YouTube. O D'vera é um programa de entrevistas, e o episódio de estreia contou com a presença do Fernando Fernandes, CEO da Tribuna do Norte, e também do executivo Wescley Magalhães. De acordo com a Liege, o que vem por aí são entrevistas em vários segmentos do mercado: Sociedade, Turismo, Cultura, Economia e Eventos. O programa vai ao ar toda quinta-feira às 20h. Todos os episódios vão ser gravados ao vivo pelo YouTube. Link 12 - E nas últimas duas semanas, esteve acontecendo em São Paulo a 27ª Bienal Internacional do Livro (um dos maiores eventos literários do mundo, vale lembrar aqui). E foi lá mesmo que a jornalista Lilian Cardoso lançou o seu podcast EscritorPod, gravado direto da Arena Skeelo. As gravações ao vivo aconteceram entre os dias 12 e 14 de setembro, e os episódios foram e vão ser disponibilizados no canal do YouTube da Lilian Cardoso e também no Spotify. O objetivo do programa é aproximar leitores e autores independentes, dando pros ouvintes uma visão real de como funciona o mercado editorial e o mundo literário. Então se você tem alguma curiosidade sobre editoras, o processo de publicação de um livro, ou sobre como funciona a criatividade de alguns autores brasileiros, não deixa de conferir. Link RECOMENDAÇÃO NACIONAL: 13 - E na nossa recomendação nacional dessa semana, se você está procurando um podcast que misture a paixão por futebol com um toque de irreverência, a indicação é o podcast Corneta Urgente.

Peak Evernote was roughly a decade ago. Since then, the product has often felt stagnant (or worse), the company churned through executives and business plans, and it seemed like Evernote was slowly turning into a zombie app. Not gone, not even forgotten, just sort of... there. For the third and final installment in our series about productivity and digital life, we sit down with Federico Simionato, the Evernote product lead at Bending Spoons. We talk about the acquisition process, how he perceives Evernote in today's landscape, what it took to start shipping new stuff again, why Bending Spoons changed the subscription price, and much more.

Hello all! This episode I speak with Jonathan about three very different inexplicable incidents in his life! (BUT, please know that you too can bend a spoon by watching this video right here!) And let me tell you, Jonathan held up a spoon that he had bent that looked like a pile of spaghetti...and to say that it astonished me would be the understatement of the century!  (I see some practice spoon bending in my future!) He also discusses a vision he had that gobsmacked him as well, and the magic of escaping being bullied and abused by attending a school in Wales. Jonathan has survived so much (including being bullied and abused as a child, as well as escaping a religious cult later in life!). To say that he is unstoppable would be doing a disservice to just what a formidable spirit he has! He is a transpersonal psychologist as well as a spiritual director for men. But that's not all, he is also SUPER COOL! We got along like peanut butter and chocolate and I suspect I have another dear friend for life! Your bit of beauty is the video up above introducing Eugene Yang and his method for bending spoons...but why stop there? Here is a photo of one of the utensils after it had been worked on! Believe or don't believe...I still think it's cool! PLEASE REMEMBER TO RATE AND REVIEW THE PODCAST! (Every little bit helps!) and remember to share the pod!  See you next time for another episode of magic...courtesy of this enchanted world we have the fortunate grace to live in!
