Why Is Sam So Sad? Seasonal Affective disorder and Depression from a Child's Perspective (Christian Faith Publishing), is about a boy named Sam, who suffers from SAD. Sam tells the reader all about what he experiences and feels. He goes on to explain what causes sadness within and how the weather plays into how he behaves during this time of year. He tells the readers how he treats his friends and family and even his dog during this SAD time of the year. Sam expounds what the letters S.A.D stand for in Seasonal Affective Disorder. He discusses the remedies he uses to combat SAD. Some include taking vitamins, staring at a special light, and the burdensome task of remembering something good that happened during these SAD days. Sam ends the book reminding the reader to practice gratitude. Because Sam feels you can't be angry and grateful at the same time.  “I wrote this book as a springboard for parents and teachers to understand depression from a child's point of view,” says author Dan Granger. “My hope is that my book inspires parents and teachers to talk to children about depression. In my opinion, I don't feel depression is talked about early enough. What if by talking to the children we could curtail some effects of teen years caused by feeling hopeless, alone, and never understood? My hope is that by talking to the kids early about depression when the teen years come and depression is more common, the teen will be ready for it.” Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Author Dan Granger shares his inspiration for and history of his book, "Why is Sam so SAD?"

On tonight's CounterCultureWISE podcast: We go over the debacle that was Biden's post-debate interview, report on some fascinating history, enjoy some good news, visit the War Room for a Tale of Modern Terror, and wrap it all up with an interview with children's book author, Dan Granger.

“We're not even talking about the content anymore. It's either brand-safe or it's not brand-safe. But what is that actually doing? - Adam Curry, MTV Video Jockey & Host of No Agenda We like to say our CEO & Founder, Dan Granger, got in on the ground floor of podcasting. However, if there's anyone his senior in the industry, it's Adam Curry (MTV Video Jockey and host of No Agenda). Known as the Podfather, he was into podcasting in the early 2000s, back when apps were called applications and (to quote Bowling for Soup) music was still on MTV. Needless to say, Adam Curry and Dan Granger's conversation on this week's Special Edition Media Roundtable podcast was as insightful as it gets. They covered a wide range of topics, from the peculiarity of last week's presidential debate to the evolving definition of “podcast,” and literally everything in between. Take it from us: you won't want to miss this one. Let's dig in.

Join us as we talk with Dan Granger about his book: "Why is Sam so Sad? Seasonal Affective Disorder and Depression from a Child's Perspective.

So there's the lesson.” - Lindsay Graham (CEO & Founder, Airship) The Media Roundtable is back! This week we're looking into the present through the lens of history.

The Media Roundtable is back, and we're tackling all the nuances of one of the thorniest, most misunderstood, and most rewarding parts of audio advertising: B2B. This deep dive was inspired by the excellent recent report by Pierre Bouvard (Chief Insights Officer, Cumulus Media | Westwood One) on reaching B2B decision-makers through audio. “You can't just say, ‘hey, let's give audio a shot–we're just going to throw a bunch of money at it and see what happens.' You really need to hone in on what you expect will happen and what your benchmarks for success are going to be.” - Rion Swartz (VP, Brand Marketing, Constant Contact) Hosting again is Oxford Road founder and CEO Dan Granger, with Pierre Bouvard himself, and an all-star crew of deep thinkers with extensive B2B chops: James Ingrassia (EVP, Client Services, Oxford Road), Neal Lucey (EVP, Strategy & Product, Oxford Road), and Rion Swartz (VP, Brand Marketing, Constant Contact).

There's a treasure trove of insights so we're sifting, questioning, and transforming them into real action for Chief Audio Officers like you.

“I trusted what [the press] were telling me for the most part… and then social media comes along and says ‘Not so fast democracy!' and it really just pulls everybody into their corners to never emerge.” Evan Shapiro, Media Cartographer, CEO of ESHAP In this episode of the Media Roundtable, we're blowing things up and getting back to our roots–talking with a giant who's making a ruckus about topics we care deeply about–the fragmentation and polarization of media and its impacts on democracy. Back on the host microphone is Oxford Road founder and CEO Dan Granger, along with fellow Oxford Road luminary Neal Lucey. In the hot seat is Evan Shapiro. Evan is a media cartographer and the CEO of ESHAP with one of the more fascinating backgrounds you're ever going to find. He's an adjunct professor, the Former EVP of NBCUniversal Media, the Former President of IFC (thanks for Portlandia, Evan!), and his substack, Media War & Peace, is a must-read for Neal and over 9,000 other subscribers. Together we're talking the decades-long decay of trust in the news post-Watergate, our social media echo chambers, and of course, we “follow the money”. Let's dig in.

“You get to a size where there's a lot more downside in taking on a risk of switching partners than upside.” - Dan Granger, Oxford Road founder and CEO Attention Chief Audio Officers!

“[Audio] is the last kitchen table conversation that exists in this country.” - Dan Granger, Founder and CEO of Oxford Road Chief Audio Officers, as we plan for 2024, it's the perfect time to go back and see how well we predicted audio in 2023. Because as Churchill said, “Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” So how did Oxford Road do on our 2023 predictions? TL;DR, scary good. Like a 90% hit rate. And not to toot our own crystal ball, but for all the CAOs who care about where audio is heading, you'll want to hear what we think is coming down the RSS feed in 2024. Hosting the Media Roundtable once more is Oxford Road founder and CEO, Dan Granger, joined by fellow Podcastradamuses James Ingrassia, Spencer Semonson, and Stew Redwine. So let's re-calibrate our crystal balls and make a full tarot deck's worth of bold predictions that'll no doubt shape your year and budgets.

Welcome to 2024, Chief Audio Officers! Podcasting is now old enough to order a beer. And of course, the Media Roundtable is back to prepare you for what looks to be a very eventful year in audio. Back as host is Oxford Road founder and CEO, Dan Granger. And by popular demand, we've brought back the Wizard of NYU, Steve Goldstein (founder and CEO at Amplifi Media). We're talking about the big money questions of audio: from CPMs to content investments, and why our theme music is so terrible on this podcast. How low will radio sink, and how high will podcast climb? And in an election year that promises to be anything but boring, how wide of a berth will advertisers give to all things political? Let's put our ears to the crystal ball and see what it tells us.

“To… refer to videos of podcasts as podcasts–every time that happens, a little piece of me dies.” - Skye Pillsbury, Author of The Squeeze It's almost 2024!

Back on the host microphone is Oxford Road founder and CEO Dan Granger with the World's Favorite Radio Futurologist James Cridland, Ariel Shapiro (Lead Reporter, Hot Pod), and Skye Pillsbury, (Author of The Squeeze). We have some of the most informed and spiciest takes we've ever seen on the show. On the docket, we have: Video podcast–terrible term or convenient catch-all? Rogan and Spotify–should he stay or should he go? And if the audio industry will be getting productive pain in 2024, or just the regular kind. Let's dig in.

"Audio is its own unique language. It has shades of digital, shades of influencer, shades of traditional media–it is all of them and it is none of them." - Dan Granger, Oxford Road Founder & CEO So much happened for audio in 2023 that the Media Roundtable needed to take an inside look at the stories and trends that shaped the soundwaves. Back on the host microphone is Oxford Road founder and CEO, Dan Granger with fellow agents of influence James Ingrassia, Spencer Semonson, and Stew Redwine.

Steven's also behind the top branded podcast in the US, and is an NYU professor teaching ”The Business of Podcasting,” the first at a major university. As we look back on a wild year, we're going beyond the RSS feed, investigating the end of “dumb money,” and what, if anything advertisers should do with AM/FM radio. Let's dig in.

Leading us once again is Oxford Road Founder and CEO, Dan Granger. Joining him are fellow Oxford Road Experts Miranda Romano, James Ingrassia, Jennifer Laine, and Giles Martin.

We're tracing Podcasting's disruptive origins while taking today's new challenges (from Brand Safety to AI) as an opportunity to disrupt ourselves again. Because if we don't, we risk turning Podcasts into “Radio 2.0.” Let's dig in.

In this episode of the Media Roundtable, we're joined by a very special guest, Larry Rosin (President, Edison Research). If you've been following us, you know that Edison Research has been on the cutting edge of audio insights, and we're nothing if not data-driven. What's the data telling us this week?

Oxford Road founder and CEO Dan Granger and fellow Oxford Road luminaries Neal Lucey, James Ingrassia, and Miranda Romano. Let's dig in.

“There isn't a type of audio that doesn't work for us, it all works for us. Fair enough, some types of audio took us longer to figure out to unlock.

"Don't be in a hurry to rise to the top so quickly. Feel free to take a little bit more time, because the slower and steadier your rise, the more stability every one of your decisions, and every one of your new trusted listener relationships will have." -Kraig Kitchin This week on the Media Roundtable, Dan Granger speaks to Kraig Kitchen. At 37, Kraig redefined broadcast syndication as a Co-Founder of and President of Premiere Radio, and today is the Chairman of the National Radio Hall of Fame (and long-time friend and Advisor to Oxford Road). While much of today's audio industry behaves as though our field was created by the launching of Serial, there are lessons learned from the 100 years before it that we can all profit from today. Kraig has been in the room where it happens for two generations and makes his wisdom available to us all to help us navigate the changes ahead.

What is the responsibility of brands to align themselves with truthful content, We will introduce Barometer and we will discuss why, apart from what Barometer is doing in podcasts) why is it so hard to do that?

Today; Audible moves away from daily news digests, Audioboom's profit soars, how podcast advertising needs to write its own future, and two more pieces you don't want to miss. Let's get started.In GeekWire, Todd Bishop reports that Audible will stop making and distributing their audio digest versions of The New York Times, a service they had been providing since 1999. Additionally, Audible's audio digest versions of The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal will also be halted.Quoting from the piece:"The audio programs, which were available as a perk for Audible members, had been around for more than two decades in some cases. The decision to discontinue the digests reflects the growing number of daily news podcasts, and the rise of other services offering human-narrated audio of newspaper and magazine stories. Responding to GeekWire's inquiry about the move, an Audible spokesperson provided copies of emails alerting listeners to the change. The messages directed listeners to the lineup of podcasts on Audible, and specifically recommended NPR's Up First as “another way to get your news fix.”Audible and Amazon Music added podcasts in 2020. The New York Times is testing a new audio product of its own. The Times acquired Audm, which offers human-narrated stories from a variety of publications, in 2020."More proof-positive that podcasting is not just a disruptive force in journalism, but a valuable type of media in its own right. One that subscribers are eager to add to their media consumption diet.On Saturday, January 9th 2022, four mobile sports betting apps, including FanDuel and DraftKings, went live in New York state, with five more on the way, according to Neal Freyman of Morning Brew. In the four years since the Supreme Court ruled on legal sports betting, half the states in the US now allow sports betting, and twenty states support mobile sports betting specifically.Industries like sports betting and cannabis benefit from geotargeting to states where they're legally approved and aligning with contextually relevant content; two things that podcasting does exceptionally well.

A report that showed increased revenues of over 125% for the company that produces, monetizes, and distributes podcasts. That's a big increase that looks all the more impressive when you learn that Audioboom's growth more than doubled the IAB's tracking of the overall industry growth.Audioboom's growth seemed to hit on all cylinders, with increases in total impressions, advertisers serviced, and even a big jump in effective CPM.CEO Stuart Last reports that his company already havs $45 million on the books for this year, with a “strong set” of new shows is in development as they try to ride that train through 2022 and beyond.Tom Webster of Edison Research penned a great article where he looks at the massive shift in spoken-word audio consumption since 2014 to podcasting and from where?

It's to take notice of just how much ground commercial radio has to podcasters who have done nothing more than add back in all the colors spoken word audio can paint with.

Podcasting has never been hotter! Dan Granger joins us today to have a unique, thoughtful and inspiring conversation about performance marketing & podcasting media. He is the CEO of Oxford Road, the pioneer in digital performance advertising, which he also talks about today. The Incubation Period Dan has done an incredible job of being early in new digital areas that produce meaningful results both for a performance and branding perspective for marketers. He started paying attention to podcasting way back in 2006 but not only until the year 2012 did he start monetizing it, through advertisement placement on podcasts. Officially in 2013, they started working with unheard-of brands like Zip Recruiter, Blue Apron and Hulu. “I had a 10-year background in radio. What was interesting is we get to ride two simultaneous waves that were really, really influential in the marketplace—both in media and general business.” - Dan Granger Startups Building Businesses in Podcasting Dan notes that it was all early adapters—geeks and gamers—who tried out podcasting and they resonated with people. Listeners appreciate the fact that something different happens technologically. In addition to that, the audiences were willing to try something that was entirely different and “disruptive.” “I'm listening to audio in a way that has never been consumed before.” - Dan Granger on early listeners of podcasts Podcasting is a big deal. Dan shares how a lot of brands got their growth spurt at the back of the podcast industry. They were efficient in buying these podcasts before it started to become popular with the mainstream. “It really changes when you go 'I'm really scared to spend this first 10 Grand' to 'I just got sold for a Billion dollars' is a very different culture and priorities.” - Dan Granger  Is Podcasting Merging With Radio? Christopher agrees with Dan about companies differentiating themselves quickly via podcasting. However, he noted the indirect proportion of the amount of growth and the actual dollar brought about by advertising. “Yes this is a technological advancement, that means you can have more commercials. So my prediction, in not too distant future, we're going to see advertising loads change tremendously. You may have to stick around till after the break.” - Dan Granger  Christopher posed an important question about whether podcasting is merging with radio formats. Dan candidly answered that it has many threats more than opportunities and it will be hard to fight this movement. “There will be individuals who will stay independent — Joe Rogan, Tim Ferris, probably a lot of people like yourself who are really just purist and committed to the craft and love the fact that it's not radio. It's got this pirate radio about vibe to it.”  - Dan Granger  To hear more about Performance Marketing & Podcasting Media and more relevant information about Dan, download and listen to the episode.
