Catherine, David and Matt were live to discuss what the players had to say at the end of another media day affected by player protest action over prize money revenue and welfare issues. How much of a feature was this action on media day? Would it help if the players were more specific about the welfare improvements they're seeking? And where does this movement go from here? Moving on to the tennis chat (16:20), we cover the challenges facing Iga Swiatek and Jannik Sinner as defending champions, how Novak Djokovic feels different to how he felt in Paris, the tough spot Alex de Minaur finds himself in, how life has changed for French Open finalist Maja Chwalinska, and much more. We close by wrapping up the day's tour results (47:15), including a first career title at last for Alejandro Davidovich Fokina and a third Eastbourne title for Madison Keys.

Welcome to ATP Weekly, your roundup of the biggest stories from the grass-court swing as Wimbledon approaches. Frances Tiafoe claimed the biggest title of his career at the Halle Open, defeating fellow American Taylor Fritz 6-4, 6-4 in the final. Tiafoe produced a near-flawless performance, breaking early in both sets and protecting his serve throughout. He also became the first American champion in Halle since 1993, a significant milestone heading into Wimbledon. In London, Francisco Cerúndolo defeated Tommy Paul 6-7(4), 6-4, 6-3 to win the Queen's Club Championships. The Argentine battled through a marathon final lasting more than three hours, the longest championship match in the tournament's history. After dropping the opening set, Cerúndolo steadily wore down Paul and completed a memorable comeback to secure his first ATP 500 crown. The triumph makes Cerúndolo the first Argentine ever to win Queen's and further establishes him as a genuine threat on grass after previously winning Eastbourne in 2023. One of the most anticipated stories of the week is the return of British star Jack Draper. After months on the sidelines with injury problems, Draper is set to make his comeback at the Eastbourne Open. Draper has spoken positively about working with former Wimbledon champion Andy Murray, whose guidance has helped him through a difficult rehabilitation period. The Brit opens his campaign against Brandon Nakashima. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Fresh off the most heartbreaking exit of her career. Alex Eala vs Elise Mertens at the Bad Homburg Open 2026 is round one redemption — and we have the full Eala vs Mertens prediction, preview, and tactical breakdown right here.Eala's incredible Berlin run ended in the semi-finals against Noskova, just one match short of a maiden WTA 500 final — but along the way she beat two Top 10 players and posted the best grass court season of her career, nine wins against only two losses. Now she opens Bad Homburg against Elise Mertens, the same player who beat her 6-2, 6-1 on clay in Madrid back in April. This time it's grass — the surface where Eala has been nearly unstoppable all season. The Eala vs Mertens Bad Homburg Open 2026 round of 32 is a rematch with a completely different surface and a completely different Eala walking onto the court. Eala even had to withdraw from her planned doubles pairing with Venus Williams just to be fit and ready for this campaign.Can Eala carry her grass court breakthrough into instant revenge over Mertens? Or does the experienced Belgian, a former world number 12 with 35 career titles, prove too difficult again?
he revenge match the Berlin crowd has been waiting for. Linda Noskova vs Alex Eala at the Berlin Open 2026 is a semi-final loaded with history — and we have the full Noskova vs Eala prediction, preview, and tactical breakdown right here.Eala has been unstoppable this week — back-to-back Top 10 wins over Rybakina and Svitolina, her sixth career Top 10 scalp, and her second ever grass court semi-final. But Noskova is the player who has caused her the most pain on tour. Their only previous senior meeting was a brutal 6-2, 6-0 demolition at Indian Wells, and Eala has won just one match against a Czech opponent in her entire career. The Noskova vs Eala Berlin Open 2026 semi-final is the biggest test yet of whether the Filipina's grass court breakthrough is real — against the one player who has dominated her completely. The winner reaches Sunday's final against Sabalenka or Pegula.Can Eala finally end her Czech nightmare and reverse the Indian Wells beatdown on the surface that has made her unstoppable this week? Or does Noskova prove once again that she simply has Eala's number?

C'est l'une des interrogations de cette saison 2026, que vaut Joao Fonseca sur gazon ? Le Brésilien n'a aucune référence puisqu'il ne dispute que sa deuxième saison sur cette surface qui est loin d'être sa spécialité. 24ème joueur mondial, l'Auriverde ne peut plus se contenter de performer sur dur ou sur terre battue comme à Paris où il a atteint les quarts de finale en sortant notamment Novak Djokovic. Fonseca doit devenir un joueur tout-terrain et performer sur herbe où Wimbledon l'attend d'ici deux semaines. FFonseca a manqué son premier rendez-vous à Halle en étant sèchement battu par Jannick Hanfmann 6/2 6/2. Il ne restera donc qu'un tournoi à Eastbourne pour Fonseca avant Wimbledon ou il n'a jamais dépassé le 3ème tour. Le jeu de Joao Fonseca peut-il être compatible avec la spécificité du gazon ?Nous évoquerons aussi les tournois de Halle du Queen's et de Berlin sans oublier les pronostics.

The wildcard who's lost only twice on grass all year against the world number two who can't find her form. Alex Eala vs Elena Rybakina at the Berlin Open 2026 is a round of 16 rematch with massive Wimbledon stakes — and we have the full Eala vs Rybakina prediction, preview, and tactical breakdown right here.Eala just beat Vekic 7-5, 6-4 to continue her remarkable grass court season — her seventh win on the surface in 2026, fresh off a Birmingham title. She is a wildcard ranked world number 35, and she is dangerous. Rybakina enters as the second seed, but she has an alarming 5-5 record across her last ten matches and has never reached a Berlin semi-final in four attempts. The two last met at the Italian Open in May, where Rybakina won in straight sets on clay. This time it's grass — the surface where Eala has been nearly unbeatable and where two of the last three Berlin champions have been left-handed, just like her. The Eala vs Rybakina Berlin Open 2026 round of 16 clash is the biggest test yet of Eala's grass court breakthrough season.Can Eala reverse her Rome defeat and pull off the upset of the grass court season so far? Or does Rybakina's class and power finally show up at exactly the right moment?

Il y a un peu plus d'un an, Taylor Fritz avait été la grande sensation de la saison sur gazon. Une victoire à Stuttgart puis à Eastbourne avant son magnifique parcours à Wimbledon où il n'avait cédé qu'en demi-finale face à Carlos Alcaraz. Taylor Fritz faisait partie de ces joueurs que l'on pouvait qualifier de "3ème homme" derrière Sinner et Alcaraz. Une année s'est écoulée mais les choses ont bien changé ! L'Américain est toujours dans le top 10 (9ème au classement ATP) mais son genou grince depuis la fin de saison dernière. Fritz à pu faire le première partie de saison mais il était sur le flanc lors de la saison sur terre battue. L'Américain que le retrouve pour cette première semaine sur gazon est en demi-finale à Stuttgart ou il défiera Alexander Bublik et aujourd'hui la question est de savoir s'il sera l'un des joueurs à suivre à Wimbledon ?

Dani Henderson has had contact with members of the Galactic Federation of Worlds (GFW) and other extraterrestrials who she found to be benevolent, but questions of infiltration and deceptive practices make her leery of supporting any off-world organization including the GFW. Similarly, she believes the Anunnaki in general, and the alleged return of Enki/Ea to atone for past misdeeds, should not be trusted. In this interview with Dr. Michael Salla, she also discusses assertions by leading politicians such as Vice President J.D. Vance that aliens are demonic, and the existence of a Collins Group that promotes negative stereotypes of extraterrestrials. They also examine the role of Satanic Ritual Abuse in conditioning victims for various projects associated with secret space programs.Dani is the author of Angels, Demons, and Aliens (2023), where she writes about her lifetime of direct physical encounters with benevolent and malevolent entities that have appeared to her since early childhood. She is also the organizer of Galactic Spiritual Informers Connection (GSIC), which brings together leading extraterrestrial contactees, secret space program witnesses, breakthrough technology inventors, SRA survivors, and exopolitics researchers. Her next GSIC features David Icke and Billy Carson and will be held from Sept 10-12 in Eastbourne, UK.Website: https://www.galacticspiritualinformers.com/2026ukJoin Dr. Salla on Patreon for Early Releases, Webinar Perks and More.Visit https://Patreon.com/MichaelSalla/

Send us Fan Mailwelcome to the latest episode on this episode we speak to Mark WalfordMark says "I joined a triathlon club in late 2019 (aged 35) having taken up open water swimming after spending most of my youth playing football but after having kids less and less exercise and an increasing waistline, I did some running but my knees was aching so trained up to do iron distance swim then 10km swim, and joined tuff fitty.Then covid happened no swimming but the club was good at encouraging safe exercise, i had an old bike i never rode, got it serviced and that was the start of my cycling. I set myself a target of qualifying for aquathon as my cycling wasn't much. I had entered Eastbourne sprint which became a qualifier much to my surprise I and qualified for Montreal in 2022. Next few years training more and more i qualified and racedMontreal world sprint tri 2022Bilboa European aquathon 2022Madrid European sprint tri (change to duathlon)Hamburg world sprint tri 2023Menin European aquathon 2024 Torremolinos world sprint tri 2024My results have been top 10-30 out of 40-100 participants, nothing to set the world alight.However im potentially best know because last year i completed 24 SuperSprint triathlons in 24 hour (starting on the hour ever hour) raising over £4000 of Alzheimer's research uk. This hadn't been done before, subsequently someone from Finland attempted a work record of how many they could do in 24 hours making and completed 18.

Richy Hafner ist mit seiner Familie nach Wellington ausgewandert in Neuseelands Filmhochburg, wo Filme wie «Herr der Ringe» und «Avatar» entstanden. Jetzt will der Filmemacher aus Horgen (ZH) dort Fuss fassen. Richy Hafner ist Filmemacher, Storyteller und Regisseur. Der 51-Jährige hat letzten Oktober mit seiner Familie den Zürichsee gegen die windige Hauptstadt Neuseelands getauscht. Wellington gilt als Zentrum der neuseeländischen Filmindustrie. Die spektakuläre Natur dient als Kulisse für Grossproduktionen wie «Herr der Ringe» und in den Filmstudios entstehen Blockbuster wie «Avatar». Regisseur James Cameron liess sich sogar einbürgern und ist jetzt ein Neuseeländer. Genau hier im kreativen Schmelztiegel der Hauptstadt will Richy als Filmemacher Fuss fassen und seine neue Chance nutzen: «Die Filmindustrie ist hier viel offener und neugieriger für Ideen.» Haus am Meer Richy und Carly Hafner leben mit ihren beiden Kindern Riley und Jonah in Eastbourne, einem kleinen Vorort in der Bucht von Wellington. Ihr Haus liegt am Ende der Strasse, wo der Leuchtturm steht und nur paar Gehminuten vom Strand entfernt: «Hier ist es ruhig. Es gibt einen Metzger, einen Supermarkt und ein Café», sagt Richy. Mit der Fähre kann man gemütlich nach Wellington City, auf die Seite von Downtown fahren. Richy Hafner hat einen 25-jährigen Sohn aus erster Ehe. Iain plant bereits, ihnen nach Neuseeland zu folgen.
Who is Arup?Arup Biswas is a dynamic entrepreneur at the forefront of AI-driven marketing solutions. Recognizing that true innovation lies in customer outcomes, Arup has dedicated his career to making powerful marketing accessible for all. He identified three key audiences—marketing agencies, recruitment firms, and SME owners—who often found traditional radio advertising out of reach due to high costs and lack of expertise. With a passion for breaking down barriers, Arup's work centers on helping these businesses connect with audiences more effectively, using cutting-edge technology to solve longstanding challenges and drive real, measurable success.Key Takeaways* Arup Biswas, founder of Klaxon AI, shared how AI can make radio and podcast advertising accessible, affordable, and targeted—even for small businesses. Breaking down barriers is reshaping who gets to be heard.* Removing technical barriers in media isn't just about cost. Klaxon AI lets anyone create professional audio ads in minutes, not days, changing who gets to participate in the advertising landscape.* Culture shifts when technology puts power in new hands. DIY audio ads, as Arup describes, give small business owners a voice where only big brands used to play. That shapes narratives—and who gets to tell them.* Targeted messaging is more than a marketing tactic. Klaxon AI shows that when we speak directly to our audience, we foster deeper connections and more inclusive cultural conversations.* Audio advertising isn't just for radio. Arup encourages using your audio ad everywhere—on your site, social, emails. Culture today is cross-media, and your voice can travel further than ever before.Don't forget: If you want to connect, ask questions, or get notified about upcoming guests like Arup, subscribe to the Systemise.Me newsletter here.

Five questions over coffee. I have in front of me my coffee mug. I hope Arup has his drink with him, whether or not it's coffee or something else. But I'd love to welcome Arup as well. Arup is the founder of something called Claxon AI which I'm hoping we will learn more about in the next 15, 20 minutes. But from initial introduction I'll say that Klaxon AI is one of those game changing type AI systems that really should be shaking up the podcast advertising, media advertising landscape, enabling us all to produce those really game changing ads cheaper, faster and with more specificity.Stuart Webb [00:01:14]:So Arup, welcome to It's Not Rocket Science five questions over coffee.Arup Biswas [00:01:19]:Thank you, Stuart. I'm delighted to be here.Stuart Webb [00:01:22]:Terrific. Well, you know, let's start with who the who the who. The ideal audience for Klaxon AI is what's the sort of characteristics that anybody who's listening to us at the moment might be thinking? Well, I wonder if this is for me.Arup Biswas [00:01:38]:Yeah, well, there are three key audiences for what we do. And I should say that actually, yes, we are an AI business, of course, but actually it's all about the outcome for the customer. And the outcome for the customer is reaching people effectively in a powerful way. So our core market is marketing agencies are already working with clients, but offering traditional marketing methods, recruitment agencies who may be looking to recruit volume numbers of staff and owners of SMEs. So those business owners who are struggling hard to, to make their business business a success. But I've always thought that radio advertising in particular has been out of their reach because of lack of knowledge or price cost. Those kind of traditional factors have always been the issue. So that's our traditional market, that's our marketplace that we focus on and our solution is all about helping them overcome those issues.Arup Biswas [00:02:31]:And we provided a, created a solution which we think does all that.Stuart Webb [00:02:36]:And let's just sort of understand that. I mean you talked about the fact that it's a solution. So what are the sort of problems that you noticed that you were trying to solve with this? Obviously cost is one, but there must a bunch of other things that you're looking at this solution in AI that will actually help solve.Arup Biswas [00:02:55]:Absolutely. And the biggest, one of the biggest issues other than price, price is always an issue for small business owners is knowledge and technical expertise.Stuart Webb [00:03:03]:Yeah.Arup Biswas [00:03:03]:Particularly when it comes to broadcast advertising, whether it's TV or radio, people think, and traditionally this has been the case. So this is completely justified why people think this way. You need to go to a recording studio, you need a sound engineer, you need a voiceover artist, you need to create a script. And traditionally the cost of creating an audio advert has been thousands and thousands of pounds. Typically a recording studio can be upwards of £300 an hour to just hire the recording studio. So the costs are really high. But also the technical expertise, you know, if you're a business owner running whatever your business is, you know, how much do you actually know about creating a radio advert? You think you might have to outsource that, but it's not typically something you think you can do yourself. So there were high barriers to entry to get into radio advertising and there traditionally always has been high barriers to entry.Arup Biswas [00:03:56]:So when we came up with the concept for doing this, and I should say myself and my co founder, we come from a media background, so we were very experienced in working with small business owners who were looking to promote their businesses in normal market ways, but struggled with things like broadcast advertising. So we came with it from a problem point of view of how do we make it easier for these business owners to get their message out via radio advertising and increasingly podcast advertising. So we know that we know the pain. We, you know, we see the pain every day. And historically the pain's been there, been there. So what we've done is create a system which removes every, every barrier to entry. And I'll, you know, we'll talk a little bit more about what we offer, but essentially one of the services we offer is a self serve advert creation system where anybody can go in and create a professional audio advert with no technical expertise in less than five minutes. So that's what we've tried to do, is remove barriers to entry.Stuart Webb [00:04:55]:So let's, let's just deal into that and I guess we're going to get into some of the sort of the offerings and services that you've got. And I hope that there's going to be a valuable offer, a piece of advice that you'd like to give to the audience. But let me just explore for a moment. I mean, how does this system work? What does the business owner do to, to solve the problem they've got? Having sort of looked at the cost of this and thought this is going to be too expensive for me to be able to sort of put a radio advert, a podcast advert, TV advert, whatever, out this might be a solution to it. What's the steps that they take? What are the different services you Offer.Arup Biswas [00:05:33]:Yeah, well, the first thing to say is when we talk to business owners is to forget everything they know about creating radio adverts. Because most of us, or most people come to this thinking expensive techniques, technically complex, all those kind of things. As I said, we've created a system that removes all that. So we've got two services. One is a self serve system I mentioned where anybody can go in, they can just write a few words of text. We use AI to create a script for the, for the company owner or the marketing executive. So you just need to put in a few words about your business. You know, for example, you know, ABC is a marketing company that works in Chester.Arup Biswas [00:06:11]:Our AI will automatically create a 30 second advert script using that text, or you can put in the exact text that you want to be read out. What happens is our system automatically creates the script, automatically adds an AI voice, and these are high quality AI voices. We use the best AI voices in the industry. You would never know it's an AI voice. And we add background music to it as well and we patch it up as a, as a 30 second advert. Now that process is super quick. Anybody can go into the site now, they could do it now and they'll see that they'll have an advert there to listen to literally within less than a minute, you know, no more than five minutes if they want to translate it, because we offer a translation facility as well. So that's fine, they could do that, then they could download the advert, do whatever they want with it.Arup Biswas [00:06:56]:But what we also know is quite often somebody will produce something like an audio file and they won't know what to do with it. It's great having an advert on your desktop or what the hell do you do with it. So what we do is we don't see ourselves so much as a tech company, we see ourselves as a full service tech and advertising agency. So we offer what we call a fully managed service where we'll create the advert for the client for the same cost. It's the same low cost. So we'll create the advert for the client and then we work with our media partners. So we have media partnerships with the largest radio station owners in the UK and the world's largest podcast advertising network. And, and these are companies that own every commercial radio station you've heard of, the big ones, you know, Heart Great Sits Radio, lbc, Capital Jazz fm, Classic fm, all the ones you, you've heard of, which get millions and millions of listeners every week.Arup Biswas [00:07:49]:And we partner with those guys to actually broadcast the advert for the client. So we offer a full one stop shop solution where the client can just say to us, yes, create the advert for us and we want it broadcast in Chester in, in September for two weeks. And we want to target a particular demographic now because more and more people are listening to radio adverts, not on traditional radios but on what you call connected devices, smart speakers, phones, game stations, Alexas, all those kind of things that gives you a lot of data about who's listening. And because the media owners have that data, we could target really effectively. So nowadays if a business owner says to us, oh my target audience is Eastbourne for example, but I only want to target 45 year old business owners in Eastbourne, within a 10 mile radius of Eastbourne and they have to be female business owners, we can do that. We could target exactly that audience through our media partners and deliver the advert exactly to that audience. So nobody else other than those target audience people will hear the advert which makes the advertising spend really effective of course. So what we do for the client is we create the advert, we manage the broadcast for them, we get it broadcast and we send them analytics at the end of it.Arup Biswas [00:09:02]:So, and obviously they can hear the advert when it's live on air. So we offer a full service solution.Stuart Webb [00:09:09]:And I think it's really important to, to, to, to, to sort of emphasize in this, if it's not become very obvious, that makes this really very, very cost effective, doesn't it? Because you're not paying for the normally 95% of people who don't want, you're targeting the very specific people that you know that you have a solution to their problem and therefore that advert becomes extremely relevant and very much more targeted.Arup Biswas [00:09:35]:That's right. And actually some of the campaigns we've already run for clients, they've been very targeted campaigns. So we've got one coming up actually in the next couple of weeks which is targeting business owners in Birmingham and it's just targeting Birmingham city centre. So like a mile, a couple of mile radius of Birmingham city centre. It's only targeting business owners because that's who the business the advertiser wants to target. We can even set the age range. If they only want to target business owners over 25, for example, we could do that. So yeah, it makes it very effective and it means you're not, you're not wasting your ad spend on people hearing your advert who aren't in your target audience.Arup Biswas [00:10:13]:So why why waste money doing that?Stuart Webb [00:10:15]:Terrific. So that brings me on to the sort of third question. Is there a piece of advice, an offer, something that you can give, give to the audience listening at the moment, the people watching us on YouTube, LinkedIn who might say, well, this sounds like it's interesting. So how do I get some advice from this guy and understand whether or not this is for me?Arup Biswas [00:10:34]:Yeah, well, the first thing I would do is I'd say look at one of the challenges is people often think that radio listenership in particular is declining. They know podcast listenership is increasing because podcasts are booming massively around the world, but they think radio listenership generally is declining. And that's not the case at all. Radio listenership is really, really strong in the and around the world. So in terms of free advice, free resources, I would tell people to go to a couple of the industry websites. These are completely in industry official websites. One is called radiocentre.org which is kind of the voice of the radio industry in the uk. The second one is a site called Rajar R a j a r.co.uk which is run by the BBC and the Radio center which gives the stats on how many people listen to different radio stations.Arup Biswas [00:11:24]:So if you go there and even if you look for your local radio station, so you might want to know how many people listen to heart radio in your part of the world, you can go there and you can see the actual stats of how many people are listening to heart radio in your area. So you'll know how big the audience is. The second bit of advice I'd give, and this may sound a bit self serving, is just go onto our website, go into register for our free advertising service. There's no cost to create the advert. The only, the only cost is if you want to download the advert at the end of the process. But you don't have to do that if you just want to go in, have a look, see how it works, actually create an advert yourself, see how it sounds, do that, go in there, have a play with it, see how easy it is to create a professional audio advert and that you'll, that will make you very familiar and comfortable with knowing it's really easy. Now you don't need the traditional ways of creating adverts now. What we've done is created a disruptive way to create an professional audio ad cheaply and quickly.Stuart Webb [00:12:21]:So anybody who's just tried to sort of write down all of that information, I can promise you, and I've put it on screen. Now, if you go to our vault, which is systemize S Y S T E M I s e.me forward/free hyphen stuff that's systemized me free hyphen stuff, all of those links that ARIP has just, just mentioned will be there. You don't have to try and write them down. Just remember, systemize me free hyphen stuff, dead easy. Go on that, pick up all of that links, pick all of the information that we've got and we'll be able to direct you to all of that stuff that ARUP has just mentioned. And that will save you having to try and remember a lot of information which is actually going to help you to understand exactly how you can create these adverts. Low cost, highly targeted, very relevant to the person, has a problem that you can solve for them. And if that doesn't bring in leads, then nothing else will.Stuart Webb [00:13:17]:Arab, you've mentioned a little bit about how you sort of began your journey towards this. You were, you were obviously in the media world yourself. Was there a, was there a moment, a book, a course and in a meeting, something which sort of struck you as, okay, I've got a solution to a problem. I need to, I need to start telling the world about this. What brought you to who you are at the moment, as it were?Arup Biswas [00:13:38]:Yeah, well, as I said, myself, my co founder, Monok, we come from the media sector and actually we both started off as traditional newspaper journalists back in the day when, you know, newspaper readership was huge. So we started in the media sector. We moved into different areas of media operations in terms of managing news websites and operations, those kind of things. But we worked quite closely with advertising teams in our media companies. So we were working with colleagues who were working with local businesses who were looking to promote themselves via. In those days it was all newspaper advertising. You'll remember, Stuart, back in the day, all the job listings weren't on. Indeed they were in your local paper.Stuart Webb [00:14:16]:And all the properties, I don't remember those times.Arup Biswas [00:14:18]:I'm only 21, I'm obviously older than you.Stuart Webb [00:14:24]:21 in a few months. I just haven't counted the number of months recently.Arup Biswas [00:14:29]:But trust me, in, in, I'm going to say in the old days, job listings, property listings, they're all in your local paper. That's where you would go, you know, Thursday used to be job paper day. You know, you'd get a paper on a Thursday and that's where your jobs were. Wednesday was for property. Now all that has moved online. But working with commercial teams in media organizations. Like I said, we understood how SME owners, business owners were evolving, what they wanted to do. They were Google AdWords was a new thing at the time.Arup Biswas [00:14:55]:You know, the, the power of advertising online became a new thing and more and more were shifting away from traditional print advertising into online advertising. But there was a growing band who wanted to go further and want to do things like radio advertising. But there just wasn't the capability to do it. A low cost, easy to, easy to use and understand way and it hasn't been for years. You know, we set up to solve that problem, to fix that problem. We, we knew AI could solve that problem and we built our own system to enable us to do it. So we have our own proprietary system that uses AI. Now if you're into AI, yeah, it's fine, it's exciting.Arup Biswas [00:15:31]:But if you just focus on the outcome of I want to reach potential large audiences in a really effective and powerful way. Radio advertising, podcast advertising is number one. And actually it's not me saying that numerous bodies, including the Guardian newspaper and Tapestry research, they did some analysis a few years ago about the effectiveness of podcast advertising, for example, and what they found, what they found was podcast advertising is more, it's the most effective form of advertising around, much more effective than online advertising, a lot more effective than TV advertising. And actually what they found in their in depth analysis and research was 52% of of podcast listeners who heard an advert in a podcast wanted to buy something from the brand. 38% of people who heard an advert on radio wanted to buy something from the brand. And there's a whole stack of literature about the science of audio and the fact it goes in your ear and it sticks in your brain and it, and you digest it and you, and it works its way into your brain in a different way to things you see visually, for example. So there's a lot of science about how audio is the most effective method of getting a message in, in your brain and also the most effective message method of advertising and getting the customers to recall your brand, recall your message and go onto your website and make a purchase.Stuart Webb [00:16:55]:Terrific. I'm very aware of the fact that you've given a huge amount of very detailed answers to questions that I've given you, but probably I've not yet asked you the one question that I should have asked and that's probably my fault for having not realized. There's an important question here, but there must be one important question that you keep thinking. When's he going to ask this really, really important question. So I'm going to ask you now to tell me what that question was. And obviously, as you know what the question is, you're also going to have to answer it for me because I can't answer that question.Arup Biswas [00:17:25]:That's fine. Well, I guess a really obvious question is what do I do with an advert? And I know it sounds really obvious because we've been talking about advertising on radio, we've been talking about advertising podcasts and Absolutely, you know, create the advert. That's where it'll go. That's where you're going to get your biggest audience when it's broadcast on radio or broadcast in podcast. However, an audio advert doesn't have to be just used in that way. There's lots of other things you can do with an audio advert. You can stick it on your website, you can stick it in your newsletters, you can stick it on your email, you can use on social media. So if you never want it to be on radio or you don't think you can afford the cost of it, going out on radio or podcast doesn't mean that an audio advert won't be effective.Arup Biswas [00:18:06]:It will be effective and there's lots of ways you can use it. So, you know, if you don't want it on Heart FM or Greatest Radio or in the podcast or whatever, fine. Use it on your website, Use it on your, in your blog section if you've got one. Use it in your emails. User on social media, people still digest it in the same way. It's still going through people's ears. They're still hearing the message. It's just a different medium that's going out.Arup Biswas [00:18:29]:So that's the one thing I think people should get, should really understand that using our system or using any system to create an advert doesn't necessarily mean you have to broadcast it on radio. An audio file, an audio advert can be used in lots of different ways and it's a powerful mechanism whichever way they use.Stuart Webb [00:18:48]:And now it's as cost effective as you described, Eric. There's no reason not to do five, six, seven of them and use them in different ways, different channels where, you know, there'll be different audiences. I'm always very keen on talking to business owners who are sort of unsure about whether or not they should target and get very much more niche in there trying to solve particular problems. And I keep saying to them the niche person is the one that actually it's where the money is really made. So actually creating a very niche advert might sound like a really crazy idea, but actually it's the one which is probably going to be the most effective in bringing the person that has a problem that you solve to get to know who you are and start to know and trust you. And it's a much more effective way of doing it by something as simple as creating an audio advert like you're describing than it is by blasting a message to the entire world and hoping, which is just a very ineffective strategy.Arup Biswas [00:19:41]:Yeah. And, you know, with our services, there's two ways to, to look at that. One is, as I said, with the radio advertising, it can be really targeted at who you want to reach and the demographics. But podcast advertising is a really interesting space. I mean, everyone know how big podcasts are getting? You know, they're huge globally in the UK and globally. But with podcasts, obviously there, it's a bit like websites. There's podcasts for everything and podcasts for very niche subjects. So if you want a podcast just on marketing, you'll come to your podcast Stuart.Arup Biswas [00:20:11]:But if you want a podcast on business growth that you, you know, sorry, your business growth podcast will come to you. If you want one on marketing, if you want one on cars, whatever, there'll be a podcast about it. I mean, if you. Everybody knows about the Peter Crouch podcast, you know, and he's got some really successful podcasts out there now, music podcasts that appeal to people, they're funny, that the comedy podcast, but the podcast for everything. And whatever sector you're working in, there will be a podcast that relates to that sector. So that means you can have an advert in that particular podcast, which means only people that be hearing it are people that you want to target, people who are, who are looking for those services or looking for knowledge and experience. So you can be really, really highly targeted. Which is why some podcast advertising can be a bit more expensive because it's so targeted.Arup Biswas [00:21:04]:But going back to your point, it's exactly that point, you're not wasting a single penny on people that aren't in your target audience.Stuart Webb [00:21:11]:Brilliant. Brilliant. Arab. I think you've really, really hit the nail on the head with that. And I'm just going to, once again, if you, if I would encourage you, go to Systemize me free hyphen stuff, go and find out Those email, those URLs, those websites that are mentioned, they will be in the vault. You can go there, you can pick up those, those valuable links and find out just how quickly and easily you can create an advert like Arup has just described to you. I'm going to back up what he's saying. I've been doing some sort of helping people launch their own podcast just recently.Stuart Webb [00:21:47]:When you look at the number of blogs there are in the world and yet there are so few podcasts and blogs are something that I know every web expert tells me, you must have a blog, you must have a blog. If you've got a blog but you haven't got a podcast, you've missed out on a huge section of potential audience I happen to have to attend. Not because I, because I was doing something else there, but I was attending an event recently in the middle of Derby which was around the train industry and there were no less than 12 YouTube and podcast people there, all creating podcasts about the trains that they were seeing. So there are some really huge audiences for these people. If they hadn't expected there to be a huge audience for their stuff, they wouldn't have been there. So go think about it. Go have a look at what you can do with podcasts, look at what you can do with an advert to promote your stuff on a podcast and get out there and do it. Arup, I've got to thank you for, for what you've just said.Stuart Webb [00:22:46]:I think it's brilliant stuff and really, really appreciate you coming on and spending a few minutes with us.Arup Biswas [00:22:50]:Thank you, sir, I really enjoyed it.

Catherine, David and Matt were back for their second live show with news from media day at the Championships. Part 1 – Men's Draw. We discuss what the top players said in press today, including Jannik Sinner's reluctance to state his reasons for changing his team right before a major tournament. There's further chat about the apparent “blind date” nature of the US Open doubles partnerships, and about a cheerful Carlos Alcaraz being beaten by Andy Murray – at golf. Novak Djokovic showed he's clearly still hungry for big titles, and we discuss whether a professional and mature Jack Draper is feeling the pressure to succeed on home turf. We've spoken as well to Matteo Berrettini, Alexander Bublik, and Alexander Zverev, and an emotional Dan Evans gave us a insight into the internal struggles that can loom over you at the end of your career.
