Find YouTube link to watch here:  https://youtu.be/uh99t38qgxw   Shownotes Welcome to the first Programmatic Digest episode of 2026 with Ellen Parker and Manuela Cortez. This is a quick check-in, plus a trader-friendly breakdown of the biggest 2025 shifts and what to watch in 2026. We cover five trends from 2025 (AI everywhere, privacy and cookieless reality, CTV growth, RMNs going more programmatic, and supply quality/transparency). Then we close with three 2026 predictions: curation becoming "default infrastructure," AI as a co-pilot (not autopilot), and multi-identity strategies becoming standard. This episode also includes the 2026 community focus: subscribe to YouTube + the newsletter, confirm your subscription, and reach out if you want to contribute (writing, audio, or guest spots).   Here's What You'll Learn What "AI everywhere" means for traders: less manual tuning, more strategy and interpretation Why privacy-first is still a day-to-day skill, even if cookies hang around longer than expected Why CTV is no longer "experimental" and how measurement expectations are changing Why more RMNs going programmatic changes how you think about signals and audiences What "supply quality + transparency" should actually include (fees, paths, reporting depth) 2026 prediction: curation becomes the baseline (SSP curation vs curation houses vs curation desks) 2026 prediction: AI moves from rules-based automation to agent-style workflows (co-pilot mindset) Why you still need foundations first (know how to do it manually before you let AI help) Subscribe to the Programmatic Digest Podcast on your favorite platform (including Spotify) https://www.heleneparker.com/programmatic-digest-podcast/  Subscribe to the Programmatic Digest YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@programmaticdigest  Join the newsletter and confirm your subscription: https://www.heleneparker.com/newsletter/ Access the Programmatic Training here: https://www.heleneparker.com/library/ No String Attached -

Sundance feature programmer Ania Trzebiatowska joins the show to talk about curation as craft, responsibility, and intuition. From her roots in Poland to running Krakow's Off Camera festival, working in acquisitions at Visit Films, and programming U.S. and world documentary features at Sundance, Ania reflects on how taste is formed and why being pleasantly surprised when viewing submissions still matters most.We discuss the realities filmmakers obsess over, including who you know, timing, marketplace “success,” and why Vimeo analytics do not tell the full story. Ania breaks down what actually happens behind the scenes at Sundance, how programmers balance limited slots with thousands of film submissions, and why being the right fit matters more than trends or agendas.She shares why festivals need balance between urgent, heavy films and work that is entertaining, humane, and emotionally alive. Drawing from examples like André Is an Idiot and Gleason, Ania explains how character-driven storytelling can carry even the most difficult subjects. Advice to filmmakers: do your research, be clear about what you are making, and remember that programmers are rooting for you, even when the answer might still be no.What Movies Are You Watching?

#404 - Trust LeaderDa Thought Leader a Trust Leader – Il Nuovo Modello per Conquistare Vera AutorevolezzaSai cosa mi sta succedendo ultimamente? Ogni volta che leggo un nuovo articolo brillante, una nuova idea geniale, un nuovo prompt miracoloso… non mi sento ispirato. Mi sento stanco. E non perché le idee siano brutte. Ma perché sono troppe. E soprattutto perché ognuna mi richiede altro lavoro.“Dove la metto?”“Come si incastra con tutto il resto?”“Devo buttare via quello che facevo prima?”E a un certo punto il cervello dice: basta. Chiude tutto. E smette di ascoltare.Questa è la prima cosa importante da capire: ogni idea isolata che pubblichi è uno sforzo in più per chi ti legge. Sembra un po' un paradosso ma è proprio così.Oggi le idee sono infinite. L'AI le sputa fuori a mitraglia. I social premiano la novità, non la continuità. E allora succede quello che ti stavo dicendo. Più idee aggiungi e alla fine più aggiungi rumore. L'originalità, la novità, lo spunto singolo non creano più fiducia. Creano confusione. E senza comprensione, non c'è fiducia.Le persone non vogliono altre idee. Non fanno collezioni. Vogliono una mappa che gli indichi di come procedere per raggiungere i loro obiettivi, nella maniera più semplice e pratica possibile. Ma se tu mi bombardi, di nuovi tool da provare, nuove strategie e tattiche, idee e nuovi di metodi di fare marketing, ma io come ne esco vivo? In generale, le persone preferiscono:– pochi sentieri chiari, invece di mille possibilità– continuità invece di sorprese– spiegazioni invece di colpi di scenaQuindi quando qualcuno capisce che tu:– colleghi le cose– le metti in ordine, gli dai una sequenza– spieghi perché una conta più di un'altrasuccede che le persone smettono di stare lì ad analizzare ogni singolo elemento e ti delegano il timone della loro barca. Comprano una tua consulenza, il tuo libro o la tua guida o la tua app online.E ovviamente questa è la vera fiducia. Perché se ci pensi bene, le persone non ricordano chi ha detto qualcosa di intelligente. Ma si ricordano bene di chi le ha riportate a casa.Sintetizzo. Un'idea nuova ha una vita brevissima. La leggi. La capisci. La archivi. Fine. Se non è collegata a qualcosa di più grande, il suo valore diminuisce immediatamente.Capire come funzionano le cose, quali contano e quali sono più importanti (comprensione) invece è un qualcosa che cresce nel tempo. Perché si integra con ciò che fai e rinforza la tua strategia e il tuo approccio. Non è un'optional da attaccare al cruscotto, è un upgrade del sistema operativo.  Questo il mio consiglio: Diventa quello che fa capire dove siamo, che opzioni abbiamo, e dove è possibile andare e come. Perché in un mondo pieno di idee, ciò che diventa importante, direi indispensabile, è il capire come collegare tutte queste idee, quali scegliere, a quali dare importanza e quali scartare. Oggi più che mai l'autorevolezza, e la fiducia che ne consegue non nascono dall'inventarsi nuove cose ma dall'orientare gli altri nel dare un senso a ciò che già c'è.-Articolo originale: ✪ From Thought Leader to Trust Leader: The New Authority Model - #61_______________Info Utili• Sostieni questo podcast:Entra in contatto con me, ottieni feedback, ricevi consigli sul tuo progetto onlinehttps://Patreon.com/Robin_Good•  Musica di questa puntata:"Solarplex" by Birocratic•  Nella foto di copertina:Don Alberto - Tour Guide - Isola di Holbox, Marzo 2023• Ascolta e condividi questo podcast:https://www.spreaker.com/show/dabrandafriendArchivio del podcast organizzato per temi:https://start.me/p/kxENzk/da-brand-a-friend-archivio-podcast• Seguimi su Telegram:https://t.me/RobinGoodItaliaInstagram channelMomenti di vita non in posa - cosa vedono i miei occhi:https://instagram.com/giggi_canali • Newsletter in Inglese:https://robingood.substack.comFuoco su costruire fiducia per chi fa l'imprenditore online .

In this episode of the AdTechGod Pod, guests Aaron Goldman (Mediaocean), Tony Marlow (LG Ads), and Jackelyn Keller (Jackwell Partners) reflect on the past year in advertising, the impact of AI, and the trends shaping the future. The conversation covers everything from weird meetings in 2025 to the overhyped nature of AI and retail media. The guests share insights on the importance of understanding data, the challenges of attribution, and the need for creativity in marketing. The episode concludes with a rapid-fire round of questions, revealing personal opinions and humorous takes on the industry. Takeaways AI has significantly influenced all industries, not just advertising. Naming and branding can lead to intense discussions in meetings. AI-powered solutions are often overhyped in the industry. Retail media networks may struggle to survive without scale. Attribution methods in advertising are complex and often debated. Predictions in the industry can be unnecessary and overdone. Creative optimization is essential for effective marketing campaigns. Understanding data is crucial for marketers to make informed decisions. The future of advertising may involve more interactive and engaging ad formats. The importance of chilling out about industry drama and focusing on collaboration.

#403 - Intelligenza CristallizataRiflessioni e pensieri ad alta voce su le newsletter "curate" che maggiormente ho apprezzato nel 2025 e sul concetto di "Intelligenza Cristallizata" recentemente condiviso da Jakob Nielsen attraverso un breve, ma interessantissimo video, che illustra in maniera chiara questo concetto.Con il passare degli anni, gli esseri umani sviluppano una capacità particolare: quella di saper riconoscere e apprezzare con sempre maggior precisione ciò che funziona, si distingue o è ben fatto, relativamente a quei temi ove hanno investito lungo tempo, sforzo e attenzione. Ne consegue che gli anziani sviluppano naturalmente capacità di selezione molto più sofisticate ed efficienti di quanto una persona giovane possa fare. In un epoca nella quale la quantità di opzioni alternative proposte dall'IA sorpassa di gran lunga le esigenze, assume valore e utilità chi ha avanzate capacità di selezionare e scegliere. Dall'altro lato i giovani possono sfruttare al massimo l'IA per sviluppare più rapidamente questa capacità, utilizzando l'intelligenza artificiale per produrre grandi quantità di alternative e soluzioni ai temi di loro interesse, su cui allenarsi, accumulare esperienza e di conseguenza sviluppare le proprie naturali capacità di analisi e selezione critica.   Le Migliori Newsletter Curate del 2025a) Mapu - Instead of Doomscrollingb) Caitlyn Richardson - Milk Fedc) Thomas Klaffke - Creative Destructiond) Kai Brach - Dense Discoverye) Adriana L - Scenius Mag, Futuring Architecturesf) Steve Bryant - Delightfulg) Joshua Parkinson - This Week in Social Mediah) Niall Doherty - eBiz Factsi) Thomas McKinlay - Science Saysj) Shannan Mann & Karan Kapoor - Strange Pilgrims_______________Info Utili• Sostieni questo podcast:Entra in contatto con me, ottieni feedback, ricevi consigli sul tuo progetto onlinehttps://Patreon.com/Robin_Good•  Musica di questa puntata:"Modern Lounge" by Joystock•  Nella foto di copertina:Immagine estratta da "AI Helps Old Knowledge Workers Stay Creative" video by UX Tigers / Jakob Nielsen  • Ascolta e condividi questo podcast:https://www.spreaker.com/show/dabrandafriendArchivio del podcast organizzato per temi:https://start.me/p/kxENzk/da-brand-a-friend-archivio-podcast• Seguimi su Telegram:https://t.me/RobinGoodItaliaInstagram channelMomenti di vita non in posa - cosa vedono i miei occhi:https://instagram.com/giggi_canali • Newsletter in Inglese:https://robingood.substack.comFuoco su costruire fiducia per chi fa l'imprenditore online .

How Local Advertisers Win With CTV, Sports & Smart Curation – ft. Premion’s Peter Jones

Peter Jones, who heads up Revenue at Premion, returns to Insider Interviews (see Ep 38) to educate us on the shifts in local TV advertising in a streaming-first world -- and how small businesses can compete with national brands, with greater access to sports inventory, and why measurement actually matters! Learn what "context" really means for advertisers (spoiler: consumers don't experience media in silos), how the collapse of some Regional Sports Networks has created opportunities for local advertisers, and why "smart curation" is more than an industry buzzword. But it's not just the small business that needs to adapt: it's agencies and brands, too. Peter breaks down what full-funnel capabilities now available to SMBs—from maxing out brand awareness across Premion's 210 DMAs, to measurable sales transactions, tapping 1st and 3rd party data.  And, as we gear up for playoff sports, he reminds us how technology has leveled the playing field and that local advertisers can get in the game, too! So, sports puns are pervasive in Episode 44 since part of our conversation is about Premion's new(ish) programmatic options to enable more inventory for all in live sports. Talk about a “game changer...!” Understand how local car dealerships and furniture stores can now leverage the same targeting, data, and attribution tools that Fortune 500 companies use, all while reaching their specific communities with precision. But for everyone, it's key to understand the importance of creative in driving outcomes, and omnichannel strategies (because yes, we're all scrolling during halftime), and why advertisers need to embrace data-driven decisions over personal platform preferences. "The first thing to realize is that big tech has leveled the playing field for local advertisers..." Whether you're a media buyer, agency leader, or local business owner trying to navigate the CTV landscape, this conversation delivers practical guidance on inventory, data, and measurement—the three pillars every advertiser should evaluate when choosing a CTV partner. Bottom line? The local advertising opportunity in streaming TV has never been bigger—but only for those willing to adapt, measure outcomes over impressions, and follow consumers wherever they are. Key Highlights [01:15] CTV's double-digit growth, challenges and opportunities for advertisers [02:14] What Premion does – Nine years of helping local advertisers navigate CTV [03:33] Leveling the playing field – Educating SMBs on using the same tools as national brands [05:25] Challenges and Strategies for Outcomes in Omnichannel Advertising [08:26] Tools and tactics – First-party data, pixels, attribution, and what SMBs need to track [10:48] The role of creative – Sequential messaging, AI tools, and "message to market match" [12:52] How Premion's programmatic access to sports inventory is opening doors for local advertisers [15:39] Smart Curation Explained and Full Funnel Options in 200+ markets [20:22] The dynamic nature of live sports – Why planning can be tricky but opportunity is massive [21:45] What to look for in a CTV partner – Hint: Inventory, data, measurement (plus the TAG seal of approval!)

What hidden design choices make a 125,000-person festival feel effortless—and what happens when being off by just one foot throws everything into chaos? Why do some festivals become cultural icons while others collapse spectacularly? And how did one architect watching the Fyre Festival documentary suddenly realize, “I could do this a million times better”—and then actually go do it?In this episode, Reiko Wei, design production manager at Goldenvoice (the team behind Coachella & Stagecoach), pulls back the curtain on the invisible systems, political negotiations, spatial puzzles, and human-centered decisions that shape the world's most iconic music festivals.

Preview of the Sell-Side Foundations for Traders workshop sponsored by GDB!  Sign up to this FREE workshop: https://programmaticdigest14822.ac-page.com/sell-side-workshop    Summary:  A fast, practical deep dive into how GDB redefined programmatic curation  from their early roots as a DSP to becoming an SSP focused on "Curation as a Service." John Dittar and Felipe share how refining supply paths, removing low-quality inventory, and layering intelligence into deals leads to cleaner, smarter buying. They explain how curation powers stronger brand safety, reduces pre-fraud exposure, and replaces guesswork with predictable, high-performing inventory. This conversation moves beyond CTRs and surface metrics to show how curated deals create meaningful engagement, improved conversions, and simpler workflows for traders. Here's What You'll Learn Curation as a Service, explained: how GDB cleans, classifies, and enhances every impression in real time. DSP to SSP evolution: why GDB shifted its focus to smarter supply and what that means for buyers. Beyond CTR: how removing low-quality inventory leads to real engagement and conversion gains. Operational simplicity: how curated deals reduce manual work while improving transparency and brand safety. Trader takeaways: how to use curation and clean supply paths to optimize faster, layer insights into DSP workflows, and focus on performance that actually matters.

A lively roundtable on the big question: can curation be art? We compare collection-building to composing music—layers, sequencing, and narrative—plus mixtapes/DJ sampling, museum installation, and how display choices (binders, walls, set runs) create meaning. We draw a line between accumulation and authorship: intent, coherence, and communication turn a pile of cards into a personal statement. Along the way: eye appeal vs grade, why some sets read like albums, and how a collection can transparently reflect identity—even if you don't call yourself an “artist.” We finish with chat takes and a palate-cleanser lightning round: GOAT Halloween candy (Rockets/Smarties, Twix, Reese's, KitKat, Nerds Candy Corn, and more). Highlights Curation vs creation: When selection, sequencing, and presentation become authorship Music parallels: Layering, sampling, mixtapes, and “binder as album” storytelling Aesthetic judgment: Eye appeal over label; why some 9s beat 10s Display matters: Frames, binders, themed runs—the message is the medium Community voices: Chat pushes back and builds on the “art or acquisition?” spectrum Sign-off: Next streams, Expo schedule note, and the time-change reminder If you're into deep-dive hobby conversations, subscribe to Sports Cards Live and tap the

In this episode I join Charles Manson in Oxford, England to visit the Bodleian Library (Oxford University) where he is the specialist librarian for its Tibetan Collections. Charles leads us through the streets of Oxford to visit the old Bodleian Library, founded in 1602. Then we arrive at the Weston Library to explore its collection of Tibetan manuscripts. Charles guides us through gold lettered texts about Lamdre and expiation, describes the process of textual revelation known as “terma”, and shares a warning based on his own experiences of dark retreat. Charles explains the Tibetan doctrines of the afterlife while showing a rare copy of the Tibetan Book of the Dead, muses on Coleridge's advice for visiting a library, and reflects on why he believes converts to Tibetan Buddhism should attempt to learn the Tibetan language. Charles also details his working routine as a librarian and archivist, reflects on his own academic journey from SOAS to Harvard and Oxford, and considers the role his religious faith plays in his work with Tibetan texts. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep332-oxford-librarian-of-tibet-charles-manson Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for November 6th Publish Date: November 6th PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, November 6th and Happy birthday to Glen Frey I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Gwinnett stepping in to help as SNAP benefits partially cut Gwinnett passes latest round of E-SPLOST Democrats take rare statewide election wins Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on milk All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: Ingles Markets 2 STORY 1: Gwinnett stepping in to help as SNAP benefits partially cut Gwinnett County is stepping up—big time. With SNAP benefits slashed and the federal shutdown dragging on, officials announced $250,000 to help six local co-ops keep families afloat. “This is urgent,” said Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson. “Over 90,000 Gwinnettians rely on SNAP, and federal employees are already going without pay. The need is only growing.” The funds, pulled from leftover summer lunch program money, will stock essentials like peanut butter, flour, and even dish detergent. The co-ops—Lawrenceville, Lilburn, Duluth, North Gwinnett, Southeast Gwinnett, and Neighborhood Cooperative Ministries—will divide the supplies and distribute them countywide. Meanwhile, the Sheriff’s Office is gearing up for its Thanksgiving food giveaway, expecting to serve 3,000 families. And on Veterans Day, the county’s Stand Down event will offer food, haircuts, and health screenings for veterans and their families. STORY 2: Gwinnett passes latest round of E-SPLOST  Gwinnett voters have spoken—again. On Tuesday, nearly 70% said “yes” to keeping the extra penny sales tax for schools, marking the seventh time since 1997 that E-SPLOST has passed. It’s never failed. “Thank you, Gwinnett voters, for putting students first,” said Interim Superintendent Al Taylor. The $1.5 billion raised will fund everything from new roofs and security upgrades to air-conditioned buses and updated Chromebooks. Not everyone’s thrilled, though. Critics like Laura Hunt argue the school board’s spending is out of control. Still, many parents, like Sara Gard, see it differently. “It’s hard to cheer for more taxes, but investing in our kids? That’s worth it.” STORY 3: Democrats take rare statewide election wins   In a rare shake-up, two Democrats flipped the script on Tuesday, breaking the GOP’s total hold on Georgia’s Public Service Commission. Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard ousted Republican incumbents Tim Echols and Fitz Johnson, riding a wave of frustration over rising utility bills and calls for cleaner energy. Their wins mark a rare statewide victory for Democrats, who haven’t seen much success here since Ossoff and Warnock’s Senate wins. The PSC, which regulates utilities, now has a 3-2 Republican majority—but Democrats now have a voice. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 4: AROUND TOWN: Snellville police named one of Georgia's top law enforcement agencies  Snellville’s police department just gave its residents another reason to brag—actually, make that two. The Governor’s Office of Highway Safety named the department one of Georgia’s best, awarding first place for Distracted Driving Enforcement and Education and second place overall for departments with 46-75 officers in this year’s Governor’s Challenge. “This reflects the hard work of every officer,” the department shared on Facebook. And this isn’t their first rodeo. Snellville PD has racked up awards over the years, including the Governor’s Cup in 2019, 2020, and 2022. Clearly, they’re doing something right. STORY 5: Travis, Harris defeat incumbents in Lawrenceville City Council races Lawrenceville voters shook things up Tuesday, ousting two sitting city council members in favor of fresh faces—including a retired investigative journalist. Randy Travis, a former FOX 5 Atlanta reporter, beat Councilman Austin Thompson by a wide margin: 1,062 to 527. Meanwhile, Gwinnett Sheriff’s Office Maj. Bryant Harris unseated Councilwoman Marlene Taylor Crawford, 1,021 to 562. This all comes as Lawrenceville faces big changes—like a vote to annex 19,000 residents.

Recorded live in person at Hopson Grace in Toronto, this inspiring episode of The Voice of Retail features host Michael LeBlanc sitting down with two leaders who are shaping the intersection of craftsmanship, culture, and commerce: Martha McKimm, Co-Founder of Hopson Grace, and Shelley Simpson, Founder of Mud Australia. Together, they unpack the art and business of building brands that thrive through authenticity, storytelling, and a deep commitment to quality.Martha shares the journey behind Hopson Grace, the Toronto-based home and design retailer she co-founded with Andrea Hopson after successful careers in luxury and PR. Born from a shared love of entertaining and a vision to bring unique, well-crafted products to Canadian homes, Hopson Grace has grown into a destination for design lovers seeking timeless pieces and meaningful experiences. As the brand celebrates its 10th anniversary, Martha reflects on how independent retailers can succeed by leaning into differentiation, community, and storytelling, rather than competing on scale or price.A key highlight is Hopson Grace's expansion to DuPont Street, transforming the brand into a design destination and event hub where retail, hospitality, and culture merge. Martha also introduces The Registry—a new sister brand launching soon at TheRegistry.ca—which modernizes the traditional wedding registry with premium products, group gifting, and travel experiences for couples who want personalization and purpose in their choices.Joining the conversation from Sydney, Shelley Simpson shares the 30-year evolution of Mud Australia, a global ceramics brand renowned for its handmade porcelain, design integrity, and sustainable craftsmanship. She discusses how her creative philosophy—“making nice things for nice people in lovely places”—continues to drive the company's ethos. From humble beginnings in a backyard studio to 14 stores worldwide, Shelley explains how Mud has built a loyal following through word-of-mouth marketing, enduring design, and a belief that imperfection and human touch add value.Together, Martha and Shelley explore the importance of collaboration and storytelling in connecting with customers across continents. They unpack the philosophy of “value equals values”, the growing appreciation for local and transparent production, and why today's consumers buy the story before they buy the product. The episode offers a masterclass for independent retailers and design entrepreneurs alike—rooted in passion, persistence, and purpose.Whether you're an indie retailer, design lover, or entrepreneur, this episode of The Voice of Retail delivers inspiration and actionable insights on how authenticity, artistry, and innovation can redefine success in modern retail. The Voice of Retail podcast is presented by Hale, a performance marketing partner trusted by brands like ASICS, Saje, and Orangetheory to scale with focus and impact.

His job at Hillpointe, a real estate development firm, is booming—13 states now, up from one when he started. “It’s bittersweet,” he said, explaining the travel demands would pull him away from the Capitol. Wiedower chaired the House Appropriations Subcommittee on General Government. A special election will be held to fill his seat in District 121, along with three others left vacant by resignations and, tragically, a death. Politics never slows down. STORY 3: Gwinnett senator to Kemp: Declare SNAP benefits emergency   State Sen. Nabilah Islam Parkes, is urging Gov. Brian Kemp to step in and help Georgia families who are about to lose their SNAP benefits because of the federal government shutdown. The shutdown, which started Oct. 1, has left Congress at a standstill, and now the USDA says SNAP benefits won’t be issued after Nov. 1. For 1.4 million Georgians—kids, seniors, working families—that’s a crisis. “Food isn’t optional. We have a moral duty to act.” She said. She’s asking Kemp to declare a state of emergency and use Georgia’s $14.6 billion surplus to provide aid, pointing to similar actions in Virginia and Louisiana. Meanwhile, the blame game rages on. But for families relying on SNAP? The politics don’t matter. They just need food. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info.

The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) is warning drivers to expect traffic nightmares around metro Atlanta’s Halloween hotspots, especially Friday and Saturday. Netherworld, Six Flags, Stone Mountain Park, The Battery, and even Little 5 Points? All on the list of places where traffic’s gonna crawl. GDOT says the worst congestion will hit Friday from noon to 8 p.m. and Saturday from noon to 6 p.m. And don’t forget the neighborhoods. Trick-or-treaters will be out, so slow down, stay alert, and for the love of candy, don’t drive distracted—or worse, drunk. STORY 5: Helping Kids Shine: Former Athletes Bring KidStrong to Gwinnett to Boost Youth Confidence When Jordan and Shaun Wade moved to Atlanta, they were just looking for something—anything—that could help their 3-year-old son, Shiloh, come out of his shell. Confidence, they thought, was the key. Jordan, a former Team USA track star, and Shaun, an Ohio State football standout now with the Chicago Bears, tried a few programs. Nothing clicked. Then they found KidStrong in Alpharetta. KidStrong, a science-based program for kids (walking to age 11), focuses on emotional, mental, and physical growth. With over 160 locations nationwide, it’s helping 65,000 kids a week. And now, thanks to the Wades, it’s coming to Gwinnett County—Snellville in 2026, Lawrenceville in 2027. Though new to business, Jordan’s no stranger to leadership. A former captain of South Carolina’s track team, she’s ready to bring that same energy to KidStrong.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for October 23rd Publish Date: October 23rd PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, October 23rd and Happy birthday to Weird Al Yankovich I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. 'Fall back' — Daylight Saving Time ends Nov. 2 Gwinnett Tech hosts inaugural Gryphon Gratitude Breakfast Georgians react to Instagram 'PG-13' rating policy Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on sweet tooths All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: Ingles Markets 6 STORY 1: 'Fall back' — Daylight Saving Time ends Nov. 2 Like it or not, it’s that time again—Daylight Saving Time ends on Nov. 2, and we “fall back” an hour. Darker evenings, groggy mornings, and maybe an extra cup of coffee (or three). But does this time shift really matter anymore? Dr. Jason Delaney, an economics professor at Georgia Gwinnett College, doesn’t think so. “It was about saving energy back when lighting and heating were inefficient, and air conditioning didn’t exist. That’s not the world we live in now,” he said. “Economically, the impact is minimal.” Psychologist Dr. David Ludden sees it differently: “It messes with your body. We’re not built to adjust quickly—our sleep cycles rely on light cues.” His advice? Get outside in natural light or use bright indoor lights during the day to help reset your internal clock. So, while the time change might feel like a relic of the past, it still throws us off—at least for a little while. STORY 2: Gwinnett Tech hosts inaugural Gryphon Gratitude Breakfast On Oct. 15, Gwinnett Tech Foundation hosted its first-ever Gryphon Gratitude Breakfast, and the room was packed—150 donors, students, and community partners all gathered to celebrate the life-changing power of giving. It wasn’t just about handshakes and thank-yous. Students stood up and shared raw, personal stories—how scholarships kept them in school, how the Foundation gave them a shot at a future they almost gave up on. “Every donation has a face,” said Darcie Johnson, the Foundation’s executive director. “You’re not just giving money—you’re changing lives.” The event wrapped with a challenge: “Fuel Your Purpose.” A reminder to give, to act, to make it count. STORY 3: Georgians react to Instagram 'PG-13' rating policy   Meta’s new “PG-13” filter for Instagram? Let’s just say Georgians aren’t exactly buying it. The company claims the filter will block posts with strong language, risky stunts, or content promoting harmful behaviors—like drug paraphernalia. Sounds good on paper, right? But critics are calling it a PR stunt, not a real solution. Sharon Winkler, who lost her 17-year-old son Alex to suicide in 2017, isn’t convinced. “This feels like another empty promise to make parents feel safe,” she said. Counselor Laura Ladefian agrees. “Filters won’t fix the algorithms that make these platforms addictive,” she said. “It’s like putting a Band-Aid on a broken arm.” We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 4: State names Suwanee an 'exceptional' main street city  Suwanee’s got some bragging rights—officially. The Georgia Department of Community Affairs just named it one of the state’s newest Georgia Exceptional Main Street (GEMS) communities. Canton snagged the other spot, but let’s focus on Suwanee for a second. Why the honor? It’s all about their downtown. Public spaces, smart planning, and a vibe that mixes charm with progress. Earning GEMS status isn’t easy. Cities have to prove they’re not just growing economically but also keeping their unique character intact. Suwanee nailed it. STORY 5: AMC brings first new Dolby Experience to Gwinnett since 2017 Big news for movie lovers in Gwinnett—Dolby Cinema is back after an eight-year hiatus. This past weekend, AMC unveiled its brand-new Dolby Cinema at the AMC Dine-In Webb Gin 11 on Scenic Highway in unincorporated Lawrenceville. It’s the first Dolby Experience in the county since 2017, and honestly? It’s a game-changer. Think ultra-vivid colors, insane brightness, and sound so immersive it feels like it’s crawling up your spine. Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos combine to make every scene hit harder—like you’re in the movie, not just watching it. This upgrade came after three months of renovations, and AMC isn’t stopping here. They’re planning 40 more Dolby locations nationwide, aiming for over 200 total. For now, though, Gwinnett’s got something to brag about.

Au micro de Pierre Chevelle, Claire raconte un parcours singulier : de l'archéologie aux fourneaux, un détour par l'Asie, l'apprentissage des fermentations, la sobriété énergétique en cuisine et l'art de fédérer un quartier quand les banques tournent le dos. On parle leadership au féminin dans un milieu encore très masculin, mais surtout nouveaux récits culinaires où le végétal devient source d'exploration et de plaisir.Ce dialogue déborde d'écologie concrète (circuits courts, énergie renouvelable, zéro déchet), de bien-être (émotions en cuisine, madeleine de Proust version végétale), et d'utopie très réelle : proposer une gastronomie durable et positive sans renoncer à la gourmandise. Des tables éphémères à six couverts jusqu'à son ancrage près de Nantes, Claire invente des expériences totales : scénographie, boissons fermentées maison, épices d'exception et transmission. Sa cuisine prouve qu'un plat peut émouvoir, relier des inconnus à la même table et déplacer nos imaginaires alimentaires.Pourquoi cette curation ? Parce qu'ici cuisine ouvre un horizon positif et accessible : moins d'empreinte, plus de saveurs, des producteurs mis à l'honneur et une cheffe qui partage ses doutes, ses ratés et ses victoires – bref, du journalisme de solutions version gastronomique.Pour découvrir le travail de Pierre, ça se passe par ici : https://soifdesens.fr/Et pour soutenir Basilic il vous suffit de vous abonner au podcast, laisser un commentaire sur Spotify ou lire la newsletter sur Kessel !

Ari Paparo talks with OpenX CRO Matt Sattel about how supply-side platforms are evolving in 2025, from simple “pipes” to intelligent systems focused on quality, transparency, and outcomes. They discuss trends shaping the ecosystem, including curation, data-driven SPO, MFA, and request duplication, as well as the growing influence of AI and automation. The conversation also looks at the challenges of operating in a two-sided marketplace and why agility and accountability matter more than ever. Takeaways OpenX positions itself as a “smart pipe,” emphasizing innovation and quality over raw scale. SPO should be data-driven, not just a commercial negotiation. Request duplication and MFA inflate metrics—OpenX focuses on clean, direct supply. OpenX Select enables agencies and partners to curate transparent, self-built deals. Real-time automated data-fee discounts push more dollars into working media. AI powers “Results by OpenX,” optimizing toward performance outcomes like CTR and CPA. Transparency and reporting through Snowflake-based tools remain central to OpenX's pitch. AI's impact on web traffic is most visible in commerce and shopping verticals.

MIMMS Museum of Technology and Art founders, Karin and Lonnie, recently joined The Ash Said It Show for an exclusive interview, providing an in-depth look at their new, highly-anticipated iNSPIRE exhibit. The conversation covered the museum's origin story, the curation process for the largest public collection of Apple products ever assembled, and the unique intersection of technology and art. The Vision: Why a Museum for Tech? The founders first discussed the driving force behind the museum's creation. They detailed the specific inspiration that led to the launch of a highly shareable social media campaign, "Show Us Your Apples," designed to promote the new exhibit. This campaign aims to tap into the public's emotional connection and personal history with Apple innovation. Curating iNSPIRE: The Apple Collection Lonnie shared insights into the immense scale of the iNSPIRE exhibit, which is billed as the most extensive public collection of Apple products anywhere. The founders revealed the intensive curatorial process required for a collection of this magnitude, touching on the most challenging artifacts to acquire and the surprising items that tell a richer, untold history of Apple. Visitors can expect to find stories and artifacts unavailable in books or online archives. Bridging Technology and Art A central focus of the discussion was how the MIMMS Museum blends its two components: technology and art. Lonnie explained how the iNSPIRE exhibit successfully bridges this gap, confirming that the display will feature art pieces and creative works inspired by Apple products. * Interactive Exhibits: Following the art discussion, the founders touched on the planned interactive exhibits, many of which will also feature a creative or art component, ensuring an engaging, hands-on visitor experience. The Future of Public Engagement When asked about the highly successful "Show Us Your Apples" campaign, the founders addressed their plans for integrating submissions. They confirmed that the museum is waiting to gauge the full public response but plans to incorporate submissions digitally and through social sharing. The public's personal stories and photos are intended to be a vital part of the overall experience. The Message for the Next Generation The conversation concluded with a powerful question about legacy and purpose: Why is it crucial to dedicate a massive museum exhibit to a company's past innovations in a world defined by constant technological release? Lonnie and Karin shared the overarching message they hope to convey to the next generation of innovators who visit MIMMS, emphasizing the importance of studying history to shape the future of technology.

Break 1: Ingles Markets 10 STORY 1: Lilburn Daze festival celebrates 53 years of community and creativity Lilburn Daze—man, it’s come a long way. Picture this: back in the '70s, it was just a scrappy little thing in a shopping center parking lot. Now? It’s the fall festival in Gwinnett County. This Saturday, from 9 to 5, City Park on Main Street will be buzzing. Arts and crafts, food trucks, kids bouncing around (literally), live music, and even a health tent. Oh, and the Doggy Dazzle Paw-rade at 11 a.m.? Adorable chaos. Susan Allred, festival chair, says they’re expecting 5,000–10,000 folks. “It’s our biggest fundraiser,” she adds. Proceeds? They fuel community programs. So, grab a shuttle, bring your dog, and soak it all in. STORY 2: Gwinnett spending nearly $1 million for three new ambulances Gwinnett’s getting three shiny new ambulances—finally. On Tuesday, county commissioners approved a $932,383 deal with Life Line Emergency Vehicles, and if all goes to plan, they’ll arrive in December. One ambulance will roll in on a RAM 5500 chassis, while the other two will use Chevy 5500 chassis the county bought during the pandemic. (Remember those supply chain nightmares?) Turns out, they’ve just been sitting there, unused. Funded by the 2017 SPLOST, these ambulances are all-new, top to bottom. STORY 3: O’Dwyer Homes Breaks Ground on 'Build for CURE' home in Lawrenceville O’Dwyer Homes just broke ground on something truly special—a “Build for CURE” home, where every penny from the sale will go to CURE Childhood Cancer. The ceremony happened Sept. 17 at 1108 Duluth Highway in Lawrenceville, and honestly, it’s more than just a house. It’s hope. “This is personal,” says Kathy O’Dwyer. Years ago, she watched Sean Dever, her son’s best friend’s little brother, fight osteosarcoma. And Brandon, the builder? His son John battled leukemia at nine. Both families leaned on CURE during their darkest days. Now, John’s thriving, Sean’s thriving—and this home? It’s for the next family who needs a lifeline. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 4: Making waves: North Georgia students dive into water industry at leadership summit On a crisp September morning, over 160 high schoolers from across North Georgia showed up at The Water Tower in Buford, probably not expecting to leave thinking, Huh, maybe water’s my thing. But that’s exactly what happened. The Student Water Innovation and Leadership Summit (Sept. 26) wasn’t your typical career day. Students from schools like Mill Creek, Shiloh, and Discovery got hands-on—peering into microscopes, testing filtration systems, even diving into virtual reality. They learned water isn’t just faucets and pipes; it’s labs, engineering, crisis management, and, yes, running treatment plants. With a looming workforce gap (a third retiring soon!), programs like this are game-changers. STORY 5: Gwinnett installing sidewalks near Dyer Elementary Kids walking to Dyer Elementary in Dacula? It’s about to get a whole lot safer—and easier. Gwinnett County just approved a $1.3 million contract with Ohmshiv Construction to build new sidewalks near the school. The plan?

GDP Script/ Top Stories for October 2nd Publish Date: October 2nd PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, October 2nd and Happy birthday to Sting I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Piedmont Eastside hosting second annual Rock the Ribbon event Spooky Spirits 5K set for Oct. 18 in Suwanee Comedian Bert Kreischer coming to Gwinnett's Gas South Arena Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on cereals All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: Ingles Markets 7 STORY 1: Piedmont Eastside hosting second annual Rock the Ribbon event For the second year, Piedmont Eastside Medical Center is inviting the community to “Rock the Ribbon,” a special event focused on breast cancer awareness. Set for Oct. 23, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., the event will take place in the Breast and Diagnostic Center lobby (Medical Plaza 1, 1700 Tree Lane, Suite 100, Snellville). It’s all part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The lineup includes breast cancer survivor and advocate Silvia Garcia as the keynote speaker, along with diagnostic radiologist Dr. M. Aho sharing insights on early detection. Snellville Mayor Barbara Bender will kick things off, and at 12:45, Garcia will lead a caregiver support workshop in Suite 230. STORY 2: Spooky Spirits 5K set for Oct. 18 in Suwanee Dust off your sneakers, grab your costume, and maybe—just maybe—prepare for a cocktail or two, because the Spooky Spirits 5K is haunting Suwanee’s Town Center Park on Oct. 18. This isn’t your average 5K. Think costumes, cocktails, and a whole lot of fun, brought to you by the folks behind the Beer Chaser 5K and sponsored by Southeast Cold. Whether you’re chasing a PR or just strolling with your cocktail-loving crew, this event’s got something for everyone. Here’s the twist: runners can choose to stop at five Spirit Stations along the scenic Suwanee Creek Greenway for 3-ounce cocktail samples—or power through nonstop. Either way, there’s a full cocktail waiting at the finish line (for the 21+ crowd, of course). Costumes? Absolutely. Prizes for Best Female, Male, and Group Costumes will keep the Halloween vibes alive. Plus, every runner gets a long-sleeve T-shirt, medal, and souvenir glass—because bragging rights are a must. Don’t miss out—secure your spot at SpookySpirits5K.com. STORY 3: Comedian Bert Kreischer coming to Gwinnett's Gas South Arena  Bert Kreischer’s bringing his wild, shirtless comedy to Gwinnett this January—because, of course, he is. The “Permission to Party” tour just added a stop at Gas South Arena on Jan. 31, 2026, and if you’ve ever seen Bert, you know it’s going to be equal parts chaos and hilarity. Tickets? They’re up for grabs starting Friday, Oct. 3, at 10 a.m. (set a reminder, seriously).

Before you know it, you’re knee-deep in wrapping paper and wondering how your credit card bill got so high. Americans, on average, drop $1,200 on holiday gifts each year, according to the National Retail Federation. But Georgia Gwinnett College business professor Dr. Cathy McCrary says a little planning now can save you a lot of stress—and money—later. Her advice? Start simple: Make a list of who you’re buying for. Jot down gift ideas and ballpark prices. Set a savings goal and stick to it. McCrary also suggests breaking your savings into manageable chunks—like setting aside a bit from each paycheck—and even opening a separate account to keep things organized. STORY 5: Tourism sets new record in Georgia Georgia was buzzing last year—tourists, business travelers, you name it. A record 174.2 million visitors poured into the state in 2024, spending a jaw-dropping $45.2 billion. That’s 4% more than the year before, according to Gov. Brian Kemp. Kemp, speaking at a tourism conference in Savannah, credited Georgia’s charm: its mountains, beaches, and everything in between. Business travel was booming too, with 17 million domestic visitors dropping $4.6 billion on conventions and meetings. Tourism, the state’s second-largest economic driver, even saved households $1,285 in taxes, thanks to $5.1 billion in government revenue. We’ll be right back.

Tourpreneur hosts Mitch Bach and Peter Syme come to you live from Berlin! They attended GetYourGuide's Unlocked conference, where over 300 of their tour, activity, and attraction partners gathered from around the world to have a day-long discussion that will shape the future of the platform, and our industry in part. (Last year's supplier discussions focused on the need for curation, leading directly to a major shift in the platform's direction.)Peter and Mitch spent most of the day speaking with tour operators there, but when end-of-day drinks happened, GetYourGuide's COO Tao Tao said "let's grab some beers and go have a chat!" And we couldn't resist the chance to pepper him with questions.In an age of carefully scripted, PR-focused corporate conversations, we appreciated Tao's candor and willingness to answer everything we threw at him. Our questions were a little wacky, a little philosophical and extremely eclectic. But he didn't shy away from anything. And the result really exposes GetYourGuide's vision (and bet) for how an experiences marketplace should look in 2025 and beyond.This conversation is wide-ranging to say the least, and a good follow-up after our podcast in January (which is also a must-listen).In this episode we cover a lot of terrain:Mitch gets a little wacky with social commentary: Are reviews actually good for our industry? Are we all better off experiencing travel through serendipity and wandering, rather than organized, booked experiences?Pete notices an end-of-day discussion on "moods" and asked Tao whether GetYourGuide should be developing mood and feeling filters!Tao shares why they created a conference to show up for their suppliers, even when there's tough love in the room.We ask how, 9 months later, the shift to a more curated marketplace is progressing. Are we nearing the end of the process, or just the beginning?We veer into a strange conversation around which movie or TV show best describes the current OTA situation, and how GetYourGuide thinks about what they're doing as an organization that partially sets the tone for what tours & activities are.Tao shares how in the age of AI, product differentiation and curation will only get more important.We all agree our industry needs to grow the pie. But how? In what direction?New AI reviews and filters point to a future possibility where the right tour is surfaced in a more personalized way, and quality is assessed beyond star ratings.Finally, we get Tao's advice for new businesses and how they should position themselves in the industry and the platform for best success.And GetYourGuide is a sponsor of TourWeek 2025, our global conference with 400 tour & activity industry players coming to Charleston, SC for more meaty, frothy conversations!More show notes and resources on tourpreneur.com

Break 1: Ingles Markets 4 STORY 1: Lilburn, Gwinnett leaders say road realignment project will improve safety For years, Lilburn Mayor Johnny Crist worried about that chaotic stretch of Lawrenceville Highway near Bryson Park. Three misaligned intersections—Hood Road, Lilburn School Road, and the park entrance—crammed into a quarter-mile, with no traffic lights. Drivers dodging school buses, cars turning every which way. “It was an accident waiting to happen,” Crist said. “I prayed we’d avoid fatalities.” This week, his prayers were answered. Officials cut the ribbon on a $4.3 million project: a sleek new roundabout that finally aligns the roads. Crist? Just relieved it’s done. STORY 2: Gwinnett Library accepting applications for new Incubator Program The Gwinnett County Public Library is now taking applications for its New Start Entrepreneurship Incubator (NSEI)—a program that’s changing lives, one business idea at a time. Focused on helping formerly incarcerated individuals, NSEI offers in-person classes, online coursework, and mentorship to guide participants through the tricky world of starting a business. Since launching in 2021 with Google’s support, the program has graduated 42 entrepreneurs. It all ends with Launchpad, where participants pitch their dreams—and some even win funding. STORY 3: Gwinnett County communications department earns national awards  Gwinnett County’s communications team just snagged some serious national recognition, taking home multiple Savvy Awards from 3CMA (City-County Communications and Marketing Association). These awards celebrate the best in local government storytelling, education, and community engagement—and Gwinnett’s work clearly stood out. Top honors? First place for their “Go Green” glass recycling campaign and Upfront Gwinnett: The Hidden Homeless program. They also earned nods for their transit referendum social media campaign and videos on the county budget and parks. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

Interim Superintendent Dr. Al Taylor praised the honorees, saying, “These educators don’t just teach—they inspire, care, and transform lives. Their impact ripples far beyond the classroom.” The process? It’s no small feat. Teachers are nominated by peers, applications are reviewed, and semifinalists are chosen. By January, one will rise as the district’s top teacher. From kindergarten classrooms to high school labs, these teachers represent the heart of education. Their passion? It’s what keeps Gwinnett’s schools thriving. STORY 5: Peachtree Corners starting over on policing survey Peachtree Corners is hitting reset on its survey about creating a city police department, but let’s just say—it’s not going to be an easy sell. City Manager Brian Johnson admitted the first survey, which ran briefly this summer, was flawed. “I didn’t have a professional review it,” he said. “The questions were too simple.” And the results? Not great. About 70% of respondents opposed the idea. The proposed department would cost $12.8 million annually—more than the $9.4 million currently paid to Gwinnett County for police services. That means higher taxes for residents, which has many people saying, “No thanks.” The debate? Far from over.

In this episode of the Ad Tech Godpod, host AdTechGod speaks with Hillary Slattery, Senior Director of Product Management at IAB Tech Lab. They discuss Hillary's career journey, the differences between IAB and IAB Tech Lab, the rise of programmatic advertising in CTV, challenges in transparency and data sharing, innovations in live event advertising, the role of curation, and the impact of AI on the advertising industry. Hillary emphasizes the importance of transparency, the need for standards in advertising, and her motivation as a female leader in a technical role. Takeaways Hillary Slattery has a diverse background in ad tech. IAB and IAB Tech Lab serve different but complementary roles. Programmatic advertising in CTV is a growing trend. Transparency in data sharing is a significant challenge. Curation is becoming increasingly important in advertising. AI is reshaping the advertising landscape. Hillary values her role as a female technical lead. The conversations in ad tech are always evolving and interesting. There are legitimate reasons for the lack of transparency from sellers. Hillary is motivated by the impact of her work and the people she collaborates with.

Host Kate unpacks the details, implications, and what these shifts mean for advertisers, creators, and platforms heading into 2025. 5 Key Highlights: TikTok's U.S. operations are set to spin into a new company with majority American ownership (80%), including Oracle, Andreessen Horowitz, and Silver Lake, while ByteDance retains 20%. A new TikTok U.S. app is reportedly in testing, requiring users to migrate accounts, raising concerns about logins, content transfers, and algorithm performance. Rembrandt acquired Spaceback, adding scale with 3,000+ advertisers and expanding its AI-driven creative offerings to blend product placements with organic content. The merger reflects broader industry trends: AI-driven “intelligent creative,” creative functions shifting into buying platforms, and the blending of context with content. Index Exchange and Grace Note launched the first integration enabling show-level targeting and reporting in CTV, addressing long-standing transparency challenges for advertisers.

Send us a textIn this episode, Angela Nicholson speaks with Anna Sparham, Curator of Photography for the National Trust. Anna's career spans over two decades in the museum and gallery sector, including 15 years at the Museum of London. Now responsible for more than half a million photographs in the National Trust's collections, Anna's work uncovers the rich and often surprising stories hidden in the archives.Anna shares how her lifelong passion for photography, first sparked by her father's teaching and time spent in the darkroom as a child, led her to a career in photographic curation. She talks about the importance of not just preserving photographs, but also interpreting them and bringing them to life for the public.We explore the creation of the book 100 Photographs from the Collections of the National Trust, how she chose the images, and why some of the most powerful photographs come from unknown or amateur photographers. Anna also discusses her own personal photography journey, including a creative project based in her local park using large-format film and cyanotypes to reconnect with her own photographic voice.This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in photography, storytelling, or curatorial work. It offers a fascinating look behind the scenes at how the National Trust is working to make its photographic collection more accessible and engaging, and how images from the past continue to shape our understanding of the world today.TakeawaysCuratorial work is deeply collaborative – it involves engaging with colleagues, researchers, and the public to bring stories to life.Historical photography offers timeless inspiration – images from the past can still shape how we see and photograph today.Photography projects thrive on consistency – regular practice builds both confidence and creative vision.Editing is as important as capturing – selecting the right images helps define the message and narrative.Material qualities matter – original prints, negatives and contact sheets all tell different parts of a story.Curation connects past and present – showcasing historical images can make them meaningful to contemporary audiences.Connect with AnnaInstagramLinkedInNational Trust CollectionsNational Trust100 Photographs from the Collections of the National TrustCEWEThis episode is brought to you by CEWE - Europe's leading photo printing company and their hero product, the CEWE Photobook that is the proud recipient of the Which?
