In this episode of Ojai Talk of the Town, we sit down with Kristen McGuinness — author, writing coach, and the fearless organizer behind the upcoming TEDx Ojai event on Sunday, February 2nd. From 10 am to 4 pm, an impressive lineup of speakers will take the stage to share thought-provoking ideas, fascinating stories, and maybe a few surprises, all with the stunning Ojai backdrop. But this conversation is much more than just a preview of the event. Kristen shares wild tales from her time in the publishing world, including working with the infamous Judith Regan during her tabloid-dominating romance with Bernie Kerik, and Kristen's role in shaping O.J. Simpson's controversial book, If I Did It. Along the way, we explore how these eyebrow-raising experiences informed Kristen's career, her perspective on storytelling, and her passion for helping others find their voice. Kristen also talks about her father's notorious career as one of America's biggest marijuana smugglers and repeat escapes from prison. Tune in for laughs, insights, and a behind-the-scenes look at both the world of TEDx and the publishing industry's most scandalous moments! We did not talk about Sacramento Delta smelt runs, the Pacific Palisades on fire or the IPO of fast fashion giant Shein. Check out more of Kristen's work at https://www.kristenmcguiness.com/
You know the Bronco chase, the trial and the glove, but do you know …the book? In 2006, O.J. Simpson teamed up with prominent publisher, Judith Regan, to make a killing from his controversial life story. With the help of a ghostwriter, they created a “hypothetical” tell-all book about the actual murders O.J. stood trial for. Thousands of copies were printed and a companion TV special was filmed. But, when news of the unsavory book surfaced, there was an uproar, leading to the cancellation of the project and a grizzly amount of lawsuits. However the story takes a surprising turn when the family of one of the victims earns the right to release the book themselves.Ericka Bozeman aka Boze (Boze vs the World) and Carl Tart (Comedy Bang! Bang! Grand Crew) join Misha to unpack the story of OJ's book, "If I Did It."Follow The Big Flop on the Wondery app or wherever you get your podcasts.

The shift from side hustle to entrepreneur, ghostwriter to author is in many ways, a shift from self-imposed obscurity to visibility and standing in our own worth. Many of us are conditioned to promote others, be in the background, obligate and accommodate to a point where we end up not taking up the space we deserve. When we become the face of something, we're vulnerable to everything, and that's a scary step to take. Letting ourselves become visible is the act of self-realization that brings forth our true genius. It's easier said than done, but it is worth it. This week we explored the “how to” of stepping in with Kristen McGuiness, co-founder, Vice President, and Editor-at-Large of Row House, a disruptive publishing imprint at the intersection of wellness + social justice. How did Kristen go from ghostwriter in the background to stand in her own individual power? How is she balancing creativity with motherhood and entrepreneurship? In this episode, the founder of Storyboxing and bestselling author of 51/50, talks about her journey and how she was able to stand in what she's good at. I do believe that children are a great source of self-realization. I wanted them to see who I really am, I didn't want them to grow up with a version of me that wasn't my greatest potential. -Kristen McGuiness Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode -Children are a great source of self-realization How did motherhood push Kristen to start standing in her own individual power? -Rejection, revision, next step What is a kind and creative way to deal with obstacles? -Detach from approval How do we stop seeking validation from others and build our value so we can really rely on the attitude towards ourselves?

Kristen McGuiness is the author of the bestselling memoir, "51/50: The Magical Adventures of a Single Life" in which she recounts her adventures (and misadventures) of entering single life as she neared age 30 after a workaholic decade. In this book, she went on 51 dates in 50 weeks and found more than romance, she found herself. After the manic world of publishing, her next career in the nonprofit world seemed tame by comparison, but the experience of actually making a difference in children's lives, of raising money and spirits, has helped her enormously in her coaching practice. She has more than 20 years experience in the writing game, including a stint working for the legendary Judith Regan at Harper Collins, helping usher into print enormous bestsellers such as Howard Stern's "Private Parts." She worked with many cultural figures such as Chris Matthews, Motley Crue and Neal Strauss of "The Game" fame. She has also had a lot of experience working for NGOs in Paris. Now she's forged her own path, heading up her own editing, publishing, ghostwriting, coaching and teaching business here in Ojai, where she's lived for the past four years with her husband and children. Krista talks candidly about her addiction and recovery, and her close relationship with a therapist/healer which led her to Ojai.

Magnolia Pictures’ SCANDALOUS: The Untold Story of the National Enquirer, charts the thrilling origin story and influence of (in)famous supermarket tabloid the National Enquirer. The paper that former editor-in-chief Steve Coz called “the most perfectly placed piece of propaganda in America.” SCANDALOUS is the sensational true story of the most infamous tabloid in US history, a wild, probing look at how one newspaper’s prescient grasp of its’ readers darkest curiosities led it to massive profits and influence. From its coverage of Elvis’s death, to Monica Lewinsky and the O.J. Simpson murder trial, the National Enquirer rattled the foundations of American culture and politics, sometimes allegedly using payoffs and blackmail to get its scoops. With rare archival footage and revelations as wild as National Enquirer headlines themselves, SCANDALOUS examines our obsession with the rich, famous and powerful, and the tabloid that has fed those obsessions for generations of Americans. SCANDALOUS: The Untold Story of the National Enquirer features interviews with former Enquirer reporters and editors, including Iain Calder and Steve Coz, as well as journalists Ken Auletta, Carl Bernstein, and Maggie Haberman. Director Mark Landsman joins us to talk about the 50-plus year history of the supermarket tabloid that made UFO’s and mayhem respectable and in the process changed the way we consume all forms of media.

MediaVillage's Insider InSites podcast on Media, Marketing and Advertising
I’m E.B. Moss, the head of content strategy at MediaVillage recording live here at Podcast Movement 2018. In the hot seat today are two guests from Nielsen: Tony Hereau, Vice President of Audience Insights and Bruce Supovitz, Senior Vice President/Sales Director, National Audio Services. And for Westwood One and Westwood One Podcast Network, Senior Vice President of Digital Partnerships, Kelli Hurley. E.B. Moss: Kelli, I'm going to start with you because you have to go jump on a panel. Tell me about what you'll be speaking about. Kelli Hurley: The panel is with the IAB and focused on podcasts, growth of revenue, and where we see it evolving and changing over the course of the next six months to a year. Moss: And where DO you see it growing and evolving, [especially] with your experience as Westwood One has launched its podcast network? Hurley: The growth has just been staggering. Obviously all the research that has come out has proven that, however, the proof is in the pudding for Westwood One. Our audiences continue to grow and as a result our revenue. I think it's all about really figuring out what the audiences want in terms of content and delivering that to them. So you're launching more successful shows and thus really providing more opportunities for revenue. Moss: You've been working in audio for basically all of your career So we'll consider you something of an expert, and since Westwood is comprised of both broadcast and digital audio, streaming, podcasting, etc., how are advertisers finding the difference between radio and podcasting and sort of the hybrids that Westwood One often offers, which are radio hosts who have become podcasters. Hurley: It's really interesting. We certainly offer a unique value proposition to both our advertisers as well as talent and podcasters and radio broadcasters that come into our family in the sense that we've been very successful from an advertiser standpoint in terms of providing multi-platform campaigns where it includes sponsorship of a podcast, but really taking the host of the podcast and bringing them into the radio space by having them voice the spots that run adjacent to some of our exclusive content, like the Olympic updates as an example. But in addition to that, we offer something incredibly valuable to a podcaster, like Ben Shapiro who has been with us for about two years, has been a very successful podcaster, but now we syndicate his podcast on the radio. So it's a really unique position for us, and we find those ways to bridge the gap between the two worlds. Moss: Let's talk about some of those other hosts. I know Jim Rome is doing great in both linear and podcasting. Hurley: Jim Rome is an incredible example of a broadcaster who really saw the opportunity to get into original content podcasting. He's been able to expand his audience outside of his affiliation footprint, which has been incredible for him to grow and reinvent himself a little bit. Moss: I know that he's among your podcast hosts who are very popular because of their ability to really personalize and do some storytelling. Are there any examples that come to mind? Hurley: Well, I think our partnership with American Public Media and the incredibly successful podcast In The Dark is one of the best examples of storytelling out there in the space right now. ...[In terms of] hosts that are open and share their personal stories, we just launched a podcast with Judith Regan, who has many stories to tell from being a book editor and publisher over the years - from celebrities and pop culture. So she has done a really great job of telling her story within the fabric of a podcast. Moss: And then you're able to help people find these podcasts because you're using your broadcast platform to amplify, so to speak, their opportunity to download and listen to the podcast on demand. Hurley: That's correct. We think that’s really important. Obviously we all know what a podcast is, but there's still a lot of people in this country that don't even know what the word podcast means. So we feel it's really important to educate our listeners on the radio, you know, in markets big and small across the country because of our radio footprint, to really help them understand what a podcast is, how to download it, and where to find it. Moss: I'm going to toss to Nielsen and Tony to talk a little about data and insights. Kelli has talked about the discoverability of podcasting, let’s discuss the difference between radio and podcasting insights. How do you extract those differences? Tony Hereau: There are similarities, but there's probably a lot more differences. With radio it's often a local type of advertiser that is going to take advantage of that local connection. But with podcasting it's national, and it has the best of the spoken word capabilities that audio offers, but it also has some digital elements and mobile elements to it as well. And at Nielsen we can leverage a lot of that, because we're looking at tools that we have across all types of media and we're applying it to podcasting. So for example, in this insights booklet that we've been putting out we've just been leveraging the CPG angle and looking at national advertisers who could benefit from the podcast medium. Moss: Got It. So what you've done is you've taken a look at some buying habits among podcast avid users and how they do in terms of what products they're buying a little more. So, it seems that, for example, with news and politics with a Ben Shapiro that they're buying a lot of liquor. That's what it says to me. And then how are we doing with sports, since we mentioned Jim Rome? There it is I on page 17. Those of you in the industry are going to want to get a copy of this Nielsen new study. Oh, they're buying a lot of liquor too, so I don't know what it is about podcast listeners, but they also buy a lot of baby food and cookies! Hereau: I think we all know that the podcasting audience is a younger audience, and it's going to appeal to beverage makers, alcoholic as well as carbonated and so on. But there are even surprises on here, like nuts, skincare, detergent. You wouldn't necessarily associate that with a sports fan, but that's what the data is showing us. Moss: Well, nuts maybe I would. Kelli, my last question for you is do these jive with some of the advertising that Westwood One has sold in their podcasting? Hurley: Yes, absolutely. I mean I think that research really speaks to the strength of the current advertisers in the space, and ones that we have seen or are starting to dip their toe in and inquire about podcasting, which is great. Bruce Supovitz: E.B., I think the nice thing to point out about this study, which actually is a third one we've done, is it's taken from Home Scan. Home Scan is 100,000 homes where people actually scan in the barcodes. So we have very direct results here. So, you take a large panel of people, they spend a year scanning all their barcodes in from supermarkets, the Walmarts, Targets of the world, grocery stores, what have you, anything with the barcode. And then we ask them if they're fans of podcasting and more specifically what genres of podcasting are they a fan of, and that's how we get this very directional data about news versus sports. Arts and leisure versus lifestyle. And we can see which brands do best in which categories. Furthermore, with Tony's help, what we've been able to do is to figure out who are the most avid fans, the most engaged fans of that category and what's their buying power. And what we're seeing is that the buying power of podcast fans, and even more so of an avid podcast fan, really over indexes compared to the average consumer for a large number of categories, not just the top couple, but lots of different categories. Moss: Let's talk, Tony, about the consumption of not just the products that podcast listeners are getting but the podcast themselves. Talk about the audience growth and adoption of podcast listening. Hereau: Bruce was mentioning those avid fans. And that's essentially what is driving podcasting. When you talk to somebody who's a fan of podcasting, they're not just a light fan, they're an avid fan. They want to tell you about their favorite shows and so on. We're seeing a growth in that core audience even, not just light listeners coming into podcasting for the first time. In 2016 we tracked 13 million households across America that were avid fans of podcasting. A year later that number grew to 16 million. So that's a pretty big jump, like 26% year over year in the core listeners. So, we've been focusing our reports on those core listeners because those are the ones who are going to be more exposed to the advertising more repeatedly and are more likely to connect with the brands and advertisers. Moss: Got it. And why do you think certain genres are doing better? Is that a reflection of the demographics of people who listen to podcasts now? Have you seen a shift in which the top genres of podcasting are as the demographics change? Hereau: As they say, a rising tide lifts all boats. So the whole medium is expanding. All the formats are growing. The one thing I will say is that it is becoming more mainstream. Podcasting was, you know, the early adopters and the more tech centric audience, but it's starting to become more of a mass medium. Moss: I see. So, where with younger people and music and games and hobbies might've been the bigger categories, we're starting to see more of a little of an uptick in perhaps kids and families, etc. Hereau: That's right. It's growing in all areas, and it's almost as though there's a podcast for everyone. So that's where the growth is coming from. Moss: I love it. Supovitz: And, E.B., the beauty of podcast is there's something for everybody and I think this points out that all those different genres have different strengths. Whereas a lot of companies have done great research talking about consumption and other metrics, we felt that with the brands really wanting to move, brand dollars really wanting to move with the podcasting this would be very key findings. You know, there's a lot of direct response already in the medium. So, we're feeling more demand to show results or directional results on brand dollars. So for instance, we're getting a lot of requests for brand lift studies. A brand, you know, with direct response you can tell whether something does well because there's an action, there's a code, you have to click something, you have to do something. With brands they want to know whether their message is resonating. Moss: So more awareness. Supovitz: Awareness, resonating, and people taking an action. So we actually are doing a large number of brand lift studies where we play a spot for a certain number of people and we play the same clip without the spot for the same number of people. Ask them both the same set of questions and see did the spot resonate. Did the spot cause an action? Did people refer that product to somebody? And the results have been fantastic. Moss: Interesting. Now do you think that smart speakers has had an impact on the uptake of podcasting? Hereau: It is, about one out of every five households has a smart speaker in it now. And so that's definitely a tailwind for the podcast medium, but the smartphone has driven the growth of podcasting more than the smart speaker has over the last five years. Moss: Because, people can take their podcast with them. Hereau: It is. Moss: And now what I think this is fascinating is that other media are now leveraging audio to promote their products. I'm thinking about Netflix populating the comedy channel on Sirius, for example. Hereau: I think there's opportunities and I think there's a lot more types of businesses and brands that are exploring what they can do with audio. And I think with the combination of the research that we have and the opportunities that podcasting affords it's green valleys. Moss: I think so too. Now the standard question: Bruce, any favorite podcasts that you listen to? Supovitz: Well, you know, at Nielsen we have to be a little neutral, but I will say I'm a big sports and news junkie. Moss: Okay. Supovitz: And, I will tell you this, it's expanding my horizons. When you get on there and you look at all the shows, these true crime shows, these history shows, these travel podcasts it's fascinating. So I try to sample a lot of them. Moss: And you, Tony? Hereau: I definitely like the music genre, like to hear the behind the scene stories. Even though you don't hear a lot of music in podcasts, it turns me on to lots of new bands that I wouldn't have heard of before. Moss: Yeah. And you have a panel coming up [at Podcast Movement.} What are you going to be talking about? Hereau: We're trying to give the podcasting community the tools they need to help make it even more successful than it has been. And as Bruce said, it's gonna come from growth from brand advertisers, because the direct response space is supporting the medium entirely, but we think there's a lot more opportunity. So we'll share some great resources. Moss: One last question: what's the change in the air with podcasting? Without your Nielsen hat on, just your observations at Podcast Movement? Hereau: I would say that the medium is growing more diverse, so it's not just the diversity of content, it's the diversity of players, whether it's content, whether it's the audience, or whether it's the advertising. So it's becoming multidimensional is really the way I see things happening. Moss: Well said. Bruce? Supovitz: I love Podcast Movement. This is my third one. There's a really great vibe at this conference. It's people who are very enthusiastic and have strong feelings about what they do. I think the challenges that they're conquering are just the volume of shows that are out there for people to listen to. And how do you make it easier for someone to find them? How do you make it easier for a buyer to buy them? My session here is with someone from Sparks Foundry, who is a big buyer, along with Cadence 13 and Midroll who are going to be fellow panelists. We're talking about how brands are moving in, big brand names are moving in, and how do you make it easy to make the buy? Is that programmatic? Is it host read? How do you keep up with those tonnage of shows? So it's a very exciting medium and it's the hot thing. Moss: That's great. Well, I did a podcast from Podcast Movement 2017. Now I've got 18. I can't wait to perhaps ask you guys in 2019 if those projections came through.

FOX's Tonya J. Powers spent "A Few Moments With..." Terence Wrong Executive Producer of O.J. Simpson: The Lost Confession?. LISTEN NOW: About The Special: In 2006, O.J. Simpson sat down with noted publisher and TV/film producer Judith Regan for a wide-ranging, no-holds-barred interview, in which Simpson gives a shocking hypothetical account of the events that occurred on the night his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman, were brutally murdered. During their conversation, Simpson, in his own words, offers a detailed - and disturbing - description of what might have happened on that fateful night of June 12, 1994. For over a decade, the tapes of that infamous interview were lost - until now. Simpson's explosive words finally will be heard, as he answers the questions that gripped a nation during the notorious "Trial of the Century." Hosted by award-winning journalist Soledad O'Brien, the shocking special O.J. SIMPSON: THE LOST CONFESSION? will air Sunday, March 11 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. The two-hour broadcast will air with limited interruptions and will feature public service announcements on domestic violence awareness throughout the program.

Today's Guest: Peter Golenbock, sportswriter, 7: The Mickey Mantle Novel Order '7: The Mickey Mantle Novel' by Peter Golenbock, available from Amazon.com by clicking on the book cover above! Today, I am sitting in the St. Petersburg, Florida, dining room of popular sports writer, Peter Golenbock. Peter, who’s written many books about and with members of the New York Yankees, including: Dynasty; The Bronx Zoo, which he wrote with Sparky Lyle; Balls, written with Craig Nettles; Guidry, with Ron Guidry; Number One, written with Billy Martin; and Wild, High, and Tight, written about Billy Martin. He also co-wrote Idiot with then-Boston Red Sox player Johnny Damon; Bats, with former Mets manager Davey Johnson; Thunder and Lightning, with hockey all-star Phil Esposito; and several racing books, including NASCAR Confidential and American Zoom. You can see an entire list of Golenbock’s books at his Web site, www.GolenbockBooks.com. He has also started writing a blog at http://petergolenbock.blogspot.com/. Despite his impeccable credentials, Golenbock recently found himself in the news on the heels of a book he did not write, O. J. Simpson’s quasi-confessional, If I Did It. By coincidence. Golenbock’s latest book, 7: The Mickey Mantle Novel, a story that takes liberties with the real life of his old friend and former Bronx bomber/slugger, Mickey Mantle, was also due to be put out by Simpson’s publisher, Judith Regan. Here’s an excerpt from the book that appeared in Publisher’s Weekly - it describes a fictional encounter between Mantle and actress Marilyn Monroe: “Mickey enters her, going in nice and easy. The look on his face changes from excitement and pleasure to surprise and then disappointment. He waits for the yelling and screaming, waits for her to tell him how good it was, waits for an ‘ooh’ or an ‘ahh,’ any reaction at all, but no. While he works away at it, Marilyn just lies there staring at him with cold, accusing eyes.” In the storm that followed cancellation of Simpson’s book and Regan’s firing, Golenbock’s book was cancelled, too. But Golenbock’s book didn’t stay cancelled for long. It will be published on April 3, 2007, by Lions Press. I have asked Peter, who has been an acquaintance for many years, to join us today and talk about his controversial new book and his long career.

On this week's episode of How Was Your Week?, America's Gentleman, PAUL F. TOMPKINS, discusses with Julie the horrors of the sea, the delights of podcasting, and the suits Steve Buscemi is forced to stand behind on the HBO program, "Boardwalk Empires." Also! The delightful and hilarious JAMIE DENBO (Terriers, Ronna & Beverly) brings us an enchanting list of her three favorite musicals, and talks about exactly which scene in "Godspell" will chill you to your meat-bones. This conversation will charm you, whether or not you are willing to be charmed. Beware! Plus: Julie is high on sizzurps for most of this podcast, because she is sick! And in this state, the following topics are discussed by her: Beverly D'Angelo's haunted house, the Dice-Man's cat, Paste Magazine's preference for Ruth Buzzi over Julie Klausner when it comes to assembling lists, Bruce Vilanch's "blind item" talk, Judith Regan's hair, and not much else that doesn't have to do with celebrities or television, sadly because Julie has not left her apartment in a week due to her being sick, as previously mentioned. But! This fact should not deter you from listening from this episode at once--and not as charity! It is a bowtie-spinning blockbuster of an hour-and-change of comedy. Host: Julie Klausner Guests: Paul F. Tompkins, Jamie Denbo Produced by Chris Spooner Original Artwork by Marcia Neumeier Music by Ted Leo
