Podcasts about local tv

I needed a confidence boost. She was there for what I needed when I needed it most. I was tickled to see her public, professional persona matched her warm and friendly demeanor in person. Listen as this Chicago suburbanite talks journalism schooling, why TV news, stories she will never forget, a familial workplace, mentoring the next generation, losing public anonymity, taking criticism then and now, hair, makeup and wardrobe, feeling pride and comfort in her career trajectory and how to end RBF. The tips, tricks and overarching advice of giving myself grace while adding the video component to my always audio podcast, will forever be appreciated and remembered. I'd like to thank this episode's sponsor, the Champaign Central C-Club. On Saturday, December 6, the public is invited to honor these local athletes as they are inducted into the Champaign Central Hall of Fame. Cocktail hour will begin at 4 p.m. at 2501 Village Green Place next to Jupiters at the Crossing. For tickets, visit this link or contact Phillip.Swartz7@gmail.com.Thank you so much for listening!

TVC 712.4: Emmy Award-winning writer, producer, director, and author Joseph Dougherty (thirtysomething, Pretty Little Liars, The First Cylinder, Comfort and Joi, Rod Serling at 100) joins Ed, Tony, and Dan Farren for some more thoughts on local TV horror movie hosts hosts from the 1960s and '70s. Topics this segment include how part of the appeal of watching horror movies on late night television was that it marked the first time that many of us were allowed to stay up late by ourselves.

TVC 711.3: Joseph Dougherty, Dan Farren, Tony Figueroa, and Ed remember Chilly Billy Cardille, Sir Graves Ghastley, Moona Lisa (pictured), and other local TV horror movie personalities from the 1960s and '70s—including Count Floyd, the character played by Joe Flaherty on SCTV that was both a parody of and a homage to the genre.

TVC 711.2: Emmy Award-winning writer, producer, director, and author Joseph Dougherty (thirtysomething, Pretty Little Liars, The First Cylinder, Comfort and Joi, Rod Serling at 100) joins Ed, Tony, and Dan Farren for a roundtable discussion about some of our favorite local TV horror movie hosts—a staple of television that began in the late 1950s and continued into the 1980s and which, for many of us, was an indelible part of our growing-up years. Topics this segment include how the genre began circa 1958, when Universal released its entire library of horror movies from the 1930s and '40s to local TV stations; why part of the charm from these local TV productions comes from their threadbare production values; and the many ways in which John Zacherle (pictured) set the standard for local TV horror hosts, first in Philadelphia, then in New York.

Alex Strathdee had me on his podcast Before the Bestseller to talk about AI. Here is an AI summary: In the rapidly evolving landscape of book marketing, authors have long been told to master Search Engine Optimization (SEO). But as we move deeper into the age of artificial intelligence, a new, perhaps more critical, strategy has emerged: AI Optimization (AIO), sometimes called Generative Engine Optimization (GEO). In a recent episode of Before the Bestseller, host Alex Strathdee sat down with the legendary Thomas Umstattd Jr.—host of the Novel Marketing Podcast and a self-described “book marketing hero”—to uncover the strategies, struggles, and secrets behind getting AI to recommend your book over the competition. This isn't just about keywords anymore; it's about training the digital brain of the internet to recognize your authority. Here is a deep dive into the insights Thomas shared on how authors can navigate this new frontier. The Rainforest Cafe Lesson: Why AI Recommendations Matter To understand the power—and the quirks—of AI optimization, Thomas shared a telling anecdote from a recent family trip to San Antonio, Texas. When planning the trip, he didn’t turn to Google or Yelp; he asked an AI to build an itinerary for his family, specifically requesting fun activities for children. The AI recommended the Rainforest Cafe on the famous Riverwalk. While the Riverwalk is known for authentic Tex-Mex, the AI prioritized the Rainforest Cafe because it offered “animatronic animals,” fitting the specific prompt for “fun activities for kids”. When Thomas arrived, there was a 40-minute wait, while better, more authentic restaurants nearby were actively soliciting customers. The food at the Rainforest Cafe was, in Thomas's words, “awful,” but the establishment was thriving because it was the kind of place ChatGPT would recommend. The lesson for authors is stark but valuable: The goal isn’t to trick AI into selling a bad product, but to realize that AI recommendations can drive massive traffic. If you want your book to be the one readers find when they ask ChatGPT, “What should I read next?”, you need to understand how the AI thinks. How Does AI Know About Your Book? If you ask an AI model to recommend a book based on a photo of your bookshelf, it can do so with shocking accuracy because it analyzes the books in its Large Language Model (LLM). But how does your specific book get into that model? According to Thomas, one major source is piracy. Recent court cases have revealed that AI companies often train their models on massive datasets downloaded from pirate websites. While this sounds alarming, the courts have generally ruled this as “fair use” because the AI's reading of the text is considered transformative. Thomas offers a controversial take for nonfiction authors: piracy might actually be beneficial. If pirated copies lead to a million people reading your book and establishing you as a thought leader, you will likely make more money in the long run through speaking engagements and podcast invites than you would have from book sales alone. In the world of nonfiction, the idea itself is often less valuable than the execution and the authority of the author. However, AI training data usually cuts off at the top 7 million most popular books. If your book is new or hasn’t reached that threshold, the AI might not “know” it exists in its core training data. In these cases, the AI relies on external sources it can read, such as Goodreads. The Sycophancy Problem A major pitfall for authors testing their AI visibility is the “sycophancy” of current models. If you ask ChatGPT about your own book, it will often flatter you, telling you exactly what it thinks you want to hear. It might even hallucinate that your book is a bestseller when it isn’t. To combat this, Thomas developed a suite of “AI Knowledge Checkers” in his Patron Toolbox. These tools are designed to blind the AI from the live web, forcing it to answer only from its internal context window. This reveals whether the AI actually knows who you are or if it's just quickly Googling you to be polite. The Foundation of AIO: Your Author Website If you want to rank in AI recommendations, you must stop relying solely on Amazon or social media. You need a robust author website. Thomas emphasizes that the principles of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and AIO are nearly identical. If you have been ignoring your website, you are already behind. Thomas highlighted three specific areas of your website that need to be optimized: 1. The Homepage Your homepage needs to be technically sound and content-rich. Thomas's toolbox includes a scanner that acts like a “curmudgeonly webmaster,” giving you a brutally honest score on your homepage's effectiveness. 2. The Book Page A common mistake authors make is having a single page listing all their books. For AIO, every single book needs its own dedicated, robust page. This page shouldn’t just be a sales link; it should be a service center for the book. It needs to include: Discussion guides. Sample chapters. Links to podcast interviews about the book. High-resolution maps (for fantasy authors). Editorial reviews. 3. The About Page Most authors write about pages that are too short and written in the first person (e.g., “I started writing when…”). AI struggles to rank the word “I.” Thomas advises rewriting your bio in the third person to create a narrative the AI can easily ingest and cite. A robust About page also protects your reputation, ensuring your website is the primary source of your life story rather than a third-party article. Off-Page Optimization: Earning the “Vote” Just like Google uses hyperlinks as “votes” of authority to rank websites, AI models determine what is true and important based on citations and links from reputable sources. This is “Off-Page AIO.” Podcasts as Backlinks For nonfiction authors, being a guest on podcasts is the most organic way to generate these authority signals. Every time you appear on a show, the show notes link back to your website. These non-reciprocal links are high-value currency for AI algorithms. Local Media and Journalism Don’t overlook local news. Local TV stations often publish articles without paywalls, making them easy for AI bots to scrape and index. Furthermore, major publications like The Wall Street Journal constitute high-authority sources because they have signed licensing deals with AI companies. Getting mentioned in these “legacy” media outlets tells the AI that you are a figure of importance. The “Timothy” Principle: Don’t Lose the Human Amidst all the talk of algorithms, scanners, and bots, Thomas ended the conversation with a vital reminder: AI does not buy books. Humans do. Thomas advises against creating corporate-style “customer personas.” Instead, he advocates for the “Timothy” strategy—identifying a specific, actual human being who represents your target reader. When you focus on thrilling that one real person, you avoid the trap of writing for a stereotype. You can talk to “Timothy,” ask him for feedback, and ensure your marketing actually resonates. Ultimately, the best marketing strategy is to love and serve your reader. If you do that, the algorithms—and the sales—will follow. Next Steps for Authors To help authors navigate this technical landscape, Thomas has made his suite of tools available at PatronToolbox.com. These include the website scanners, the AI knowledge checkers, and even a “hook identifier” that helps you find news angles for your book PR. As we look toward 2025, the authors who succeed will be those who balance technical optimization with genuine human connection. Tune in next week to Before the Bestseller when we are joined by Veronica Yager to discuss what it takes to make a book thrive in the coming year, including high-impact calls to action and the secrets of Kindle Unlimited.

AP correspondent Ed Donahue reports on expanded viewership for "Jimmy Kimmel Live".

Late night host Jimmy Kimmel returns to ABC Tuesday after being suspended and his show previously removed "indefinitely" after he made controversial comments regarding Charlie Kirk's murder. Disney decided to reinstate Jimmy if you will after much Hollywood backlash and boycotts however not all media companies or networks that have ABC affiliates are going to air Kimmel. Local TV station owners Sinclair Broadcast Group and Nexstar Media Group each announced this week they would not be carrying the return of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on their ABC affiliates. Will you be watching Kimmel's return if it's available for you to watch? Why or why not?

Did we just get a new veiled threat from the FCC chairmen today? President Trump also weighed in, suggesting that network licenses could be pulled if they air what he views as mostly negative coverage of him.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Atlanta's Sunday TV talk diet includes one local program - WAGA-TV/ Fox 's "The Georgia Gang." I watch it occasionally and happened to have some time Sunday to catch the most recent episode, and I'm furious but glad I caught it.Two pundits - Phil Kent and Martha Zoller - notably the right-wing participants, spewed anti-trans swipes, which I suppose should be unsurprising. That they did so with zero pushback from the show's moderator or the two left-wing participants, however, is disappointing. The pundits zeroed in on the prior week's Senate subcommittee skewering of Trump HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Kent whined that Warnock was "rude" and wandered into an attack on Dr. Demetre Daskalakis (without citing him by name), labeling him a "trans promoter," (I suppose) simply because he used the term "pregnant people" and offered his pronouns of preference in his now-infamous resignation letter. Listening to he and Martha Zoller fumble around in an anti-science uproar over CDC pandemic strategy "in the moment" and current vaccination conversations is cringy enough, but weaving in anti-trans swipes is just beyond the pale repugnant, and it's time someone called it out. So I did.Later in the show, the conversation of school shootings came up, what with the one-year anniversary of the Apalachee High School shooting and the recent Minneapolis catholic school shooting. Zoller, citing a "series" (it's two, lady - nowhere near the leading number of heterosexual white men who've victimized hundreds over the years) of incidents involving trans shooters, leaned into the mental health aspect. "...DSM 5 (the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition) took that out as a mental health problem but clearly there's a mental health problem there," she said. She almost gets it. Gender dysphoria isn't a "mental illness," in the latest DSM. She's right. However, as the Philadelphia Mental Health Center points out , "gender dysphoria is listed as a mental health diagnosis, but it is not considered a “mental illness” in the traditional sense," continuing "gender dysphoria is not seen as a pathological condition. The focus of treatment is not to “cure” someone of their gender identity but to alleviate the distress they experience due to societal pressures or physical incongruence."In other words, bigots like Kent and Zoller are a driving reason trans people seek mental health treatment; the dysphoria isn't something needed to be treated as a mental health condition.Bloop.------The ICE raid on the southeast Georgia manufacturing plant was meant to be a use of fear and intimidation aimed at Hispanic people working in construction, but hundreds of South Korean nationals were swept up (without any Korean-speaking ICE officials - which tells you ICE wasn't prepping to take them). So says Dustin Baxter with the Kuck Baxter Law Firm, an Atlanta-based immigration firm. He joined me to discuss. The "visa waiver" program was the likely channel the temporary guests from South Korea were here under the guise of, but this is just another situation where it is painfully obvious American immigration laws are woefully inadequate for modern needs.

Local TV news used to be the trusted place where communities got the facts. But today, something’s changed—and not always for the better. In this episode, I sit down with veteran anchor Elex Michaelson, who pulls back the curtain on the dramatic shifts inside America’s local newsrooms. What’s driving the changes? From corporate takeovers and cookie-cutter scripts to the loss of investigative grit, Michaelson exposes how profit motives and political agendas have transformed local stations from watchdogs into watered-down infotainment. Viewers are noticing—and tuning out. We’ll break down the biggest shifts, why they matter, and how the decline of local TV news leaves a dangerous vacuum in our communities. This is a candid, eye-opening conversation you won’t want to miss. www.EnergizedHealth.com/Grant www.PatriotMobile.com/Grant TWC.Health/Grant Use "Grant" for 10% OffSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
