Feat. Daisy Alioto & Francis ZiererDaisy Alioto and Francis Zierer of Tasteland join us to talk about what happens when two distinct media brands—Dirt and Creator Spotlight—collide. We explore how podcasting has become a creative extension of newsletters, how parasocial dynamics shape audience building, and what it means to build brand and community in a fractured media landscape.Staying Afloat in the Primordial SoupKey takeaways:The “Anti-Scene” Scene: Today's creative connections often form organically—through mutual respect and shared ideas, not cliquish gatekeeping—giving rise to an “asynchronous salon” of cultural thinkers.Design and Taste as Cultural Signals: Design choices and curation practices influence perception and build cultural credibility.Building Media That Builds Taste: Tasteland isn't about telling people what to like—it's about helping listeners cultivate their own sense of taste, with media that challenges, informs, and inspires."You can notice the difference in the approach… and I do wonder if the pendulum will swing back to more structured storytelling, like Serial or S-Town. – Daisy"The biggest problem with culture plus business is it's easy for dishonesty to creep in. And that sucks. Who wants to listen to someone with no point of view?" – Daisy"It's like this asynchronous salon of independent figures… where the connections become more connections across them." – Francis"If your media diet becomes a closed loop… you've basically traded one algorithm for another. Our job is to help people develop their own taste." – Daisy"I read SIC Weekly like a poem… and just click on two links. It forces you to choose—and that's what develops taste." – FrancisIn-Show Mentions:Subscribe to DirtSubscribe to Creator SpotlightSubscribe to TastelandAssociated Links:Check out Future Commerce on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce+ for exclusive content and save on merch and printSubscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?

This week we sit with creator Kevin Learn. We discuss his upcoming project, “MEMOIRS FROM THE 20TH CENTURY” and more. KEVIN LEARN Brief bio: I began as a freelance illustrator twenty years ago, getting published in Playgirl, The Source, Subject magazine and several indie newspapers. I have also gotten paid to draw pillows and pizza to financial logos and charts of biopsy markers. My first sequential work was actually an illustrated guide to performing knee surgery (riveting stuff). However, most of my sequential work, that is non-knee surgery related, has been published online, and mainly for horror anthologies between 2014-2018. Since that time, I've paired up with my twin brother, who lives in Korea, to create a 250 page YA graphic novel about a Korean exchange student called Chewy Noh. And in 2023, I began the 5 part mini-series Memoirs from the 20th Century, which will shortly be published by Bloodmoon Comics.
