From there it's straight into a milestone: Vinnie's debut solo album, Season of the Assassin, just passed its 16th anniversary, and the guys sit down to break down how it actually came together.Vinnie gets into why he waited as long as he did to go solo, the uncertainty of stepping out from Stoupe and the JMT sound , and the real story of the album's original title before it became Season of the Assassin. He walks through building the record from scratch, tracking down producers he grew up idolizing, and a session at a legendary New York studio that made the whole thing feel real. They dive into how the features and production actually got picked and, sixteen years later, we get Vinnie's take on what it means to him today.

WolfTalk: Podcast About Audio Programming (People, Careers, Learning)
Phil Burk has had an amazing career as an audio developer: from writing DSP code on Z80, through creating a music language, writing code for mobile phones, PlayStation audio support, and Android, up to MIDI 2.0 contributions. He's also a co-creator of the PortAudio library, which is one of the most popular OS-agnostic audio libraries (and it's used not just from C/C++ but from Python as well).He's been there from the 80s up until today; he's seen it all!What I love about Phil is his purely interest-driven approach. He was able to make his hobby his work and thus live a life of passion. Even today, as a retiree, he still codes 8 hours a day just for fun.After listening to this episode, you will not only learn a ton of useful audio programming knowledge and feel inspired, but you will also feel thankful that the world has audio developers such as Phil; they're a real blessing, making our lives easier and more pleasant to the ear!Episode Contents From this episode, you will learn:how Phil created his first analog synth and started programming on Z80what challenges did early music programming facehow HSML music programming language came to bethe challenges of programming digital signal processors (DSPs) and designing audio hardwarehow mobile phone audio worked in the late 90s/early 2000sPhil's awesome audio projects: PortAudio, JSyn, WebDrum, and more (see below)the story of MIDI 2.0how the Android team fixed the latency problemwhich languages Phil has used throughout these 4 decades of audio programmingwhat are his work habits for maximum programmer productivityThis episode was recorded on February 4, 2026.00:00:00 Podcast Intro00:00:36 Introducing Phil Burk00:02:13 Early Music & Homebrew Electronics00:04:08 Building a Shoebox Synthesizer00:07:18 Z80 Programming via Hex Keypad00:10:15 Emulating a 68000 CPU on a Z8000:14:08 Sponsor: JUCE00:15:55 Phase-Locked Loops & the Commodore 6400:18:41 From Biophysics to Programming00:22:11 Meeting Larry Polansky at Mills College00:26:02 HMSL: A Music Language Built in Forth00:32:43 Motorola 56000: Real-Time Synthesis00:35:30 3DO: First Software Synth Console00:43:38 Designing a Custom DSP in Verilog00:54:38 JSyn: Interactive Music in the Browser01:02:00 Building PortAudio with Ross Bencina01:05:52 Max Neuhaus Sound Installations01:14:33 A 14KB MIDI Synth for Mobile Phones01:27:02 Designing the MIDI 2.0 Standard01:40:41 Sony PlayStation 3 Audio Libraries01:44:44 AAudio: Fixing Android Audio Latency01:53:16 Why Android Audio Lagged Behind iOS02:03:08 Reviving HMSL with JUCE & PForth02:07:07 Retirement: Kotlin, AI & New Projects02:12:17 Every Language Phil Has Programmed In02:18:42 Are Dedicated DSP Chips Still Needed?02:20:43 Developer Setup & Favorite Tools02:23:23 The Music-DSP List & Learning DSP02:30:08 Just Enough, Just in Time Learning02:33:05 Audio Is Harder Than People Think02:36:26 Shower Debugging & Work Habits02:41:40 How to Reach Phil Burk02:42:50 Outro
Andy Schonfeld, CRO of Tatari, joins Ari Paparo from Cannes Lions to discuss Tatari's bold message to the DSP ecosystem, why programmatic TV only captures a fraction of the market, the evolution of convergent TV buying, and how direct access to premium inventory is reshaping the future of television advertising. They also explore Tatari's Upstream platform, the role of data and AI in media planning, recent industry shakeups involving Publicis, The Trade Desk, Fox, and Roku, and why transparency and supply paths are becoming table stakes in CTV. Takeaways Tatari's Cannes campaign highlights the limitations of relying exclusively on programmatic TV buying. Major tentpole events like the Super Bowl, Olympics, and World Cup are still primarily bought through direct relationships. Convergent TV requires access to both linear and streaming inventory to maximize reach and outcomes. Data remains a key differentiator, but inventory access is equally important in a supply-constrained TV market. Tatari leverages more than a decade of performance data to optimize campaigns based on outcomes. Tatari's Upstream platform enables direct publisher integrations, reducing intermediaries and improving transparency across CTV buying. Increased scrutiny around fees and transparency is prompting agencies and brands to reevaluate their supply chains. The Fox-Roku partnership signals a shift toward deeper integration between content owners and distribution platforms. AI is accelerating media planning and workflow automation, but its effectiveness depends on the quality of underlying data.

Then, we preview Micron's high-stakes fiscal Q3 earnings report as AI-driven memory demand pushes margins to historic levels. Plus, we look at Adobe's quiet rebound, why Celsius (CELH) is starting to regain traction, and the structural roadmap that could launch Marvell (MRVL) on a legitimate path toward a $1 trillion valuation.The Historic Debut: SpaceX formally went public on the Nasdaq at an initial valuation of $1.77 trillion, raising an unprecedented $75 billion in gross proceeds.Market Impact: Trading surged on day one to push its market cap over $2 trillion. We discuss the unique, multi-staged insider lock-up structure and how fast-tracked index rules are shifting the mechanics of passive ETF tracking.Pure Profit Growth: Ahead of its fiscal Q3 earnings call on June 24, Wall Street consensus is targeting a mind-boggling ~1,000% year-over-year increase in adjusted EPS.What to Watch: We break down the absolute dominance of their HBM3E/HBM4 product cycles, massive CapEx scaling across new fabs, and whether the memory cycle is turning into a permanent structural moat.ADBE: Creative Cloud is showing resilient enterprise retention as AI monetization begins to manifest in actual ARR.CELH: After a painful distribution and inventory rightsizing over the past few quarters, the stock is showing technical and fundamental signs of a text-book volume accumulation phase.The Trillion-Dollar Blueprint: Why optical DSPs and custom silicon partnerships position Marvell perfectly to capture the massive capital expenditure tailwinds from hyperscalers building out data centers. Is a $1T valuation realistic, or is it getting ahead of its fundamentals?

In this episode of the Programmatic Digest, Hélène Parker and Assetou Kone dive into the evolving role of AI in programmatic advertising and campaign optimization. The conversation explores how media buyers and traders can use tools like ChatGPT and Claude to streamline workflows, analyze campaign data more efficiently, and uncover deeper optimization insights. Hélène opens the session by reframing optimization as more than simple "bid up, bid down" tactics. Instead, she explains how successful optimization requires hypothesis testing, strategic thinking, and understanding how DSP algorithms redistribute spend based on performance signals. Using practical examples, she demonstrates how removing underperforming inventory can improve overall campaign efficiency by reallocating budget toward higher-performing placements. Assetou walks through the fundamentals traders need before introducing AI into their workflows, emphasizing the importance of understanding campaign objectives across awareness, consideration, conversion, and loyalty stages. She explains how campaign goals directly influence which metrics traders should prioritize and optimize toward. The heart of the workshop focuses on prompt engineering and practical AI usage. Assetou demonstrates how traders can use AI to analyze site lists, identify inefficient domains, generate allow/block lists, surface top-performing inventory, and extract geo-level insights tied to real-world audience behavior. She also highlights how combining AI-generated insights with industry knowledge creates stronger strategic recommendations for clients. Throughout the discussion, Hélène and Assetou address common fears around AI and job security, explaining why traders who learn how to leverage AI tools will become more valuable — not less. They close by discussing the future of agentic AI within DSPs and how automation can help traders spend less time buried in spreadsheets and more time focusing on strategy and insight generation.

How do you turn a niche product into an 8-figure Amazon brand? The founders of Naoki Matcha share the branding, keyword, and supply chain decisions that helped them scale worldwide. :moneybag: Get Helium 10 with a special discount to start or scale your e-commerce business here: https://h10.me/h10 ► Watch The Podcasts On Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@Helium10SeriousSellersPodcast?sub_confirmation=1 ► Instagram: instagram.com/serioussellerspodcast ► Free Amazon Seller Chrome Extension: https://h10.me/extension ► Sign Up For Helium 10: https://h10.me/signup (Use SSP10 To Save 10% For Life) ► Learn How To Sell on Amazon: https://h10.me/ft What does it look like when two childhood friends turn a side hustle into an eight-figure global brand? In this episode, Bradley Sutton sits down with Samuel Loo and Singchuen Chiam, the co-founders of Naoki Matcha, to unpack how they went from selling generic glass teapots to building one of the most recognizable matcha brands on Amazon. Their story starts in Singapore, stretches into Japan's tea-producing regions, and becomes a masterclass in patience, product-market fit, and long-term brand building. Sam and Sing did not stumble into success overnight. Their first products were fragile, generic, and easy to copy, forcing them to rethink the kind of business they really wanted to build. That search led them to matcha, a category with higher barriers to entry and far greater complexity than a typical private-label product. Instead of sourcing from a marketplace and calling it a day, they had to knock on digital doors, travel to Japan, build supplier relationships, refine taste profiles, and learn how to create a product customers would come back for again and again. Their growth was slow at first, but their commitment to quality and feedback gave them a durable edge. As the brand grew, so did its sophistication. They expanded from Amazon into other marketplaces, built teams across Singapore and Japan, invested heavily in in-house creative, and began thinking beyond Amazon PPC into upper-funnel channels like Meta, DSPs, and TikTok. They also shared how Naoki Matcha navigated the recent matcha shortage without major price hikes, using strong supplier relationships and careful supply chain planning to stay in stock while competitors struggled. It is a reminder that real brand power is not just built through ads and listings, but through trust, consistency, and operational depth. This episode is a powerful example of what can happen when founders play the long game. Sam and Sing did not chase shortcuts. They built slowly, learned deeply, and stayed obsessed with product quality as they scaled into an eight-figure business. For sellers who want to move beyond quick wins and build something that lasts, this conversation shows that the biggest advantage is not speed. It is discipline, vision, and the willingness to keep improving long after the first sale.

In this episode, we explore how a proposed city council bill in New York could disrupt Amazon's entire last-mile delivery network. The legislation effectively targets the use of subcontractors, which could force independent delivery service providers to shut down or convert their independent contractors into full employees. Next, we head out on the water, where CMA CGM and its Ocean Alliance partners have launched a new direct container service from Asia to the Port of Jacksonville. This strategic expansion provides shippers with a vital alternative to congested West Coast ports and enhances supply chain diversification for the Southeast. Finally, we unpack the high-stakes boardroom drama at the fleet payments giant WEX, which is currently facing a significant proxy battle from an institutional shareholder. The outcome of this struggle could trigger substantial changes in leadership and impact how operational expenses are handled across the broader trucking industry.

Over the past week, everyone has had launches on the brain – thanks largely to the Artemis II rocket and its ongoing lunar flyby mission. However, there are a couple of health-related launches that are the focus of this week's episode. First up is the launch of HayloARC, a health-focused demand-side platform – better known as a DSP. HayloARC is available for use by advertisers and medical marketing agencies seeking to better interface with HCPs and patients. To accomplish this, HayloARC utilizes first-party HCP data derived from 30-plus medical publications owned by Haymarket Media, the parent company of MM+M. For the feature conversation, editor-at-large Steve Madden sits down with Louis Naimoli, VP of programmatic business development and strategy at Haymarket, about what HayloARC is, how it's differentiated from other DSPs and what it offers programmatic buyers in medical marketing. Then, during our Trends segment, we're talking about how the fight for GLP-1 supremacy between Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly has shifted to the oral obesity pill battlefield. We discuss Novo rolling out a multimonth subscription program for Wegovy and the FDA's approval of Lilly's daily oral weight loss drug Foundayo. Music: “Deep Reflection” by DP and Triple Scoop Music.

Currently, he leads Data Potato LLC, focusing on responsible technology and data utilization, while serving on the AI Committee for Access and as a board member of the Anchor Foundation.Episode Summary:In this insightful episode of DSP Talk, host Asheley Blaise delves into the transformative landscape of AI in human services with esteemed guest Doug Golub. The discussion centers around how AI is reshaping the future of the direct support workforce with a strong emphasis on person-centered care and technological innovation. Doug Golub, drawing from his vast experience, shares invaluable insights on the inclusion of Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) in AI dialogues, highlighting the importance of integrating their hands-on experience for developing effective AI tools.With a focus on the potential of AI in enhancing rather than displacing the workforce, Doug outlines practical applications of AI in human services. The conversation reflects on the transformation of administrative and documentation tasks through AI to facilitate more meaningful support relationships. This episode offers a balanced exploration of AI's possibilities, alongside ethical and practical considerations, underscoring the critical role of DSPs in shaping AI advancements.Key Takeaways:The potential of AI lies in its ability to assist, not replace, DSPs by automating documentation and administrative tasks, allowing more time for direct support.DSPs' inclusion in AI development discussions is essential to ensure technology reflects real-world support and avoids biases.Training for DSPs should extend beyond utilizing tools to encompass understanding biases, ethical use, and empowering them to question AI's outputs.AI tools can help identify trends and provide valuable insights, but they must be interpreted and mediated by humans to maintain effective support.Notable Quotes:"If we understand how the software works, we call it software. If we don't understand how it works and we think it's magic, we call it AI." – Doug Golub"The tools that are emerging have to help make it more fulfilling, more opportunity, more robust to be able to make that difference in people's lives." – Doug Golub"These tools are changing the way that we work, they are changing the way that agencies are operating." – Doug Golub"What makes it better is when we actually involve the people that know what they're talking about, which are the frontline staff." – Doug GolubResources:Data Potato LLCThe New York Alliance AI CommunityAnchor FoundationListen to the full episode to dive deeper into a conversation intertwined with innovation and empathy, and to better understand how AI can partner with human expertise to transform the future of human services.

Linktree: https://linktr.ee/AnalyticJoin The Normandy For Ad-Free NME, Additional Bonus Audio And Visual Content For All Things Nme+! Join Here: https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0KAnalytic Dreamz dives deep into Kanye West's (Ye) highly anticipated 2026 solo album Bully. Born in 1977 in Chicago, Ye began his career as a producer at Roc-A-Fella Records, contributing major work to The Blueprint before launching his own legendary run. His artistic evolution spans soul-sampled classics like 2004's The College Dropout, the Auto-Tune innovation of 2008's 808s & Heartbreak, and the industrial experimentation of 2013's Yeezus. With 24 Grammy Awards, Ye is celebrated for constant reinvention and polarizing creative shifts. Bully arrived on March 28, 2026, via YZY / Gamma as an 18-track project. The sound returns to heavy soul sampling with influences from Sam Cooke and The Supremes. Development included an early V1 version with AI-generated vocals in 2025, multiple delays from an original June 2025 target, and final re-recording with human vocals. The title draws from a comment by Ye's son and references to the Larry Clark film. Release featured listening parties and pre-save campaigns. Critical reception is mixed: production earns praise for its strongest soul chops and stadium hooks in years, yet many reviews describe the album as lifeless with weak lyricism and a lack of fresh artistic reset. Pitchfork scored it 3.4/10, with an Album of the Year critic average around 51/100. Commercially, Bully opened with approximately 117,000 first-week units for a Billboard 200 debut at #2, behind ARIRANG. It marks Ye's first solo album not reaching #1 since 2004 and the lowest opening of his career, though it extends his streak of 14 consecutive Top 2 albums. Streaming dominated with an estimated 50 million Spotify streams on day one, securing the biggest hip-hop streaming debut of 2026 and global #1 album status. Pure sales landed at a career-low ~20,000 units, reflecting the independent model with minimal traditional marketing and heavy reliance on fanbase and DSPs. Physical bundles sold via Yeezy.com. This segment explores the AI vocal controversy, the shift to streaming-first strategy, the production-versus-content divide, and what Bully reveals about Ye's ongoing career trajectory in 2026.

The best marketers in 2026 aren't doubling down on search and social. They're expanding into TV. Daniel sits down with Matt Giannetti, Senior Director and Head of Platform at Tatari, to break down how modern TV actually works and why more Performance Marketers are starting to shift budget there in 2026. From why streaming alone is not enough, to why DSPs are not the same as a true TV platform, Matt unpacks the biggest myths that still keep marketers from using TV the right way. They also dive into how brands should think about TV at different growth stages, why free media credits are not always a win, and what brands need to test first before making TV a real part of their media mix. If you're a Marketer trying to understand where smart brands are actually moving budget (and how to make TV measurable, efficient, and performance-driven) this is the episode for YOU. Tatari helps brands run TV like a modern performance channel. Unlike most platforms that focus only on programmatic CTV, Tatari gives marketers access to all of TV - linear, streaming, programmatic CTV, and direct publisher inventory - in one platform. By combining premium inventory with transparent reporting and outcome-based measurement, Tatari lets growth teams evaluate TV the same way they evaluate paid search or paid social. The result: more control, better reach, and TV spend that can actually be tied back to business results.

What's the balance between log‑level data and control, chasing opaque performance, and using transparency to actually change how and where you buy?Then they unpack The Trade Desk's latest earnings and what its slowdown (and supply‑side growth elsewhere) signal about where spend is shifting across DSPs, CTV, and the open internet.Finally, they dig into the rush of vendors promising “LLM performance” measurement, covering how pricing is already collapsing, how little real differentiation there is, and how brands should approach contracts, trust, and experimentation in this new category.
Fees, fees, fees. The Trade Desk is facing market pressure in all directions: from rival DSPs offering lower fee structures, SSPs and agencies clashing over its OpenPath product and bearish investors disappointed with growth. Guest Sarah Caputo, founder of consultancy Fraction Method, tells us why The Trade Desk should reduce its margin and make its fees more transparent.

In this episode of Next in Media, I sit down live at the Kochava Summit in Sandpoint, Idaho, with Charles Manning, founder and CEO of Kochava. We go deep on one of the most pressing questions facing the industry right now: how profound is the shift to agentic advertising and AI-driven workflows? Charles argues it is not a decade-long evolution like programmatic was. It is breathtakingly faster, and the companies that understand how to use their first-party data as a competitive kernel, rather than leaking it to the walled gardens, are the ones that will come out ahead. He draws a compelling analogy: if programmatic changed the auction, AI is about to change the workflow.We also dig into Kochava's CTV journey, from its mobile app roots to building measurement tools adopted by LG, Samsung, Vizio, and Roku, and how the view-and-do combo between the TV screen and the mobile device is creating powerful new outcome-based measurement opportunities for brands. Charles breaks down what holding companies should fear (and fix), why the ad tech supply chain is due for serious consolidation, and why he predicts a wave of take-privates and roll-ups followed by a bonanza of public offerings over the next two years. He also introduces Station One, Kochava's integrative AI hub that acts like a Slack for AI workflows, designed to help teams transform how they work without giving up control of their data. Key Highlights:⚡ AI vs. Programmatic: Charles explains why the shift to agentic advertising is moving breathtakingly faster than programmatic did. While programmatic took over a decade to fully reshape the auction, AI is set to transform the entire workflow within the next 16 months.
