It's been a while, but we are back! Returning from a brief hiatus, host Brian Peterson is joined by Jason Inderhees to talk about the big story in the sample industry and other news from around market research. The guys get right to it and address the elephant in the room: Dynata filing for Chapter 11. The guys talk about the news and its potential impact on the broader market research industry. Brian also gives some thoughts on what Dynata employees may think, as he has been through a Chapter 11 filing when he was with a previous company. Next, the guys switch gears and discuss some other headlines from the market research industry, including the announcement that Jim Lane of Directions is retiring at the end of the year and will be succeeded by Beth Finn. Next, Jason and Brian talk about the launch of Livepanel, a synthetic data company. They talk about their tool, N-Infinite, and how they see it could be used in practice. In the final story, the guys talk about the proposed data privacy federal legislation, how it could impact the market research industry, and the overall data privacy landscape. Thanks for tuning in!

Welcome to season six of Intellicast! Brian Lamar and Producer Brian are back from their time off and ready to get back at it. Kicking off the episode, they guys talk about Damar Hamlin and the situation that has not only been the talk of the sports world, but of the entire country. Producer Brian talks about how it hits close to home for him in regard to his Dad. They continue catching up, discussing how their holidays were, the recent insights takeover of EMI's social media channels, and more. After what was probably too much non-market research talk, the guys dive into some market research news, with the latest in the ESOMAR election controversy leading it off. They discuss the ruling from an Amsterdam court that found the ESOMAR election misconduct allegations against its former CEO Dr. Parves Khan have “no support in the facts whatsoever.” They then talk about what the next steps could be in this situation. Next, Brian and Producer Brian dig into RAIDAR, the new Real-time Analytics, Insights, and Data Activity Ranking launched by the folks at MRWeb. They discuss how it has been positioned with its launch and give some speculation on where it might go and how it may be viewed by the industry in the future. The guys then give some congratulations to Beth Finn for being promoted to the Chief Client Officer at Directions Research. In the next story, the guys talk about the news that Congress has instructed the US Census Bureau to provide more transparency on its Ask US Panel project, a story, and project that they had discussed at various times last year. In the second to last segment of today's episode, Brian Lamar spends some time discussing some of the latest legislative changes that have been proposed or going on that Howard Feinberg provided details on. He talks about the new sales tax in Kentucky that may impact market research buyers. They guys then talk about some of the recent laws that have been discussed that touch on how research subjects should be classified, and their impact on the industry. In the final segment, they guys touch on some of the pros and cons of ChatGPT in the market research industry. They talk about the ways they have played with it and the value they see in it, but also its limitations and some areas of concern. One of the largest areas of concern is around how it might be used by fraudsters to answer open-end questions in surveys, and how (if possible) we as an industry can weed them out from answers from real respondents.

And Dan runs for reelection as an assembly district delegate! What does the California Democratic do, exactly? Whatever you know or don’t know about the California Democratic Party, this is for you. Since California is run by Democrats, does that mean the chair of the California Democratic Party is actually running our state, like China’s one-party rule? And, how do the decisions made at the top of the party ripple down to your neighborhood and vice versa? ************ Thank you to Daraka Larimore-Hall @DarakaforCDPChair Thank you to Jeremy Lee for editing this episode and for late-night collaborating!! ************ Schmolitics is Dan Gordon, LA-based progressive, voiceover artist, and communications for Beth Finn for Philadelphia City Council. ************ You are what makes Schmolitics happen.

It's me, Dan. Hiiiiiiiii I pulled an all-nighter to make this for you. So let me know what you think of the episode. I want to hear what you think. This week’s value: Women's Rights. Have you heard the news? Tamika Mallory, a Women's March, Inc. Co-Chair, took a photo with Louis Farrakahn and captioned it by calling him the GOAT. She and the other co-chairs apologized and explained themselves. They did a media tour. Is it enough? And what does all of this scandalous stuff have to do with women's rights?? I go to the Women's March in Downtown LA to see what it is, and what it isn’t. Special Guests: Beth Finn @beth4phl, Co-Founder of the Women’s March on Philadelphia It’s me, Dan. Schmolitics is now taking a people-centric approach to politics. I’m taking the podcast in an exciting new direction: we’re exploring politics and issues by starting from a value. Who is Dan Gordon? Slim Jim Voice -> Podcast host -> Bernie Delegate at the DNC -> CDP Elected Delegate -> super volunteer for progressive causes -> field organizer for Katie Porter (FLIPPED IT!!!!) -> communications for Beth Finn for Philly City Council.
