Podcasts about Mashable

Polish doesn't build trust—personality does. And no one understands that better than TikTok creators, who turn raw ideas into magnetic, shareable content every day.In this episode, we're pulling marketing lessons from TikTok's creative chaos with the help of Rhonda Hughes, award-winning B2B marketing leader.Together, they explore what B2B marketers can learn from leading with authenticity, embracing low-fi experimentation, and having the courage to make something truly original.About our guest, Rhonda HughesRhonda Hughes is a storyteller and connector of people and ideas with 18 years of experience helping brands engage their customers and audiences. She believes in creating value, not noise, and she has a knack for inspiring teams to push boundaries with fresh, fun, relevant content, campaigns, and programs. Rhonda's team's work has earned recognition from Mashable, Business Insider, Hubspot, Sprout Social, KISSmetrics, Content Marketing Institute, and snagged her a spot on North Bay's 40 under 40 “Ones to Watch” list, noted among the “Top 50 Women in Content”, and awarded for "Best B2B Campaign on TikTok."What B2B Companies Can Learn From TikTok Creators:Fun is a strategy—not a distraction. Brands win when they lean into playfulness—not just performance. “The brands that, to me, the companies that feel like they win are the ones that are really always putting their audience in the center and trying to figure out a way to be useful and be human and be playful,” Rhonda says. This kind of joyful creativity builds connection—and makes your brand memorable.Imperfect content is often the most relatable. Audiences don't crave polish—they crave authenticity. “The most engaging content isn't the most polished… you can tell that this was just a creative idea and somebody with their camera and they're rallying the folks internally around how they bring the story to life,” Rhonda says. “And that's part of what makes it so relatable and likable.” Let your audience in on the process, not just the finished product.Iterate like a creator. TikTok's best creators don't get stuck in strategy mode—they test, tweak, and try again. That mindset is essential for B2B marketers too. “TikTok creators are constantly iterating… they've gotta test formats and hooks and trends and sounds, and they have to move fast and be playful with this,” Rhonda says. The takeaway? Strategy doesn't mean overthinking. It means being in motion.Quotes*“You just never know what's gonna work. So you kind of have to be okay with trying and missing and trying again.”*“You want to build content that's gonna resonate with your audience and also be something they want to share.”*“If you're not enjoying what you're making, your audience probably isn't either.”*“It's not about going viral—it's about showing up over and over again.”Time Stamps[00:55] Meet Rhonda Hughes, Award-Winning Marketer[03:37] The Power of Authenticity on TikTok[06:00] Engaging Content Strategies[10:34] Spotlight on Successful TikTok Campaigns[16:16] Creative Marketing Examples[27:28] The Power of Authenticity in Social Media[29:37] The Bravery of Unique Marketing Strategies[30:33] TSA's Unexpected Social Media Success[32:39] The Importance of Fun and Experimentation in Marketing[42:03] Creating Value, Not Noise[43:37] The Utility of Content and Audience Engagement[50:03] Final Thoughts and Advice for Marketing LeadersLinksConnect with Rhonda on LinkedInAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

Wed, 30 Apr 2025 19:02:04 +0000 https://feed.neuezwanziger.de/link/21941/17019398/wolfram-weimer-trumps-niedergang-papst-prozession-eu-aussenpolitik-neue-zeitrechnungnung-und-sportideologie 75eba8b68f9807ef113d2a80dea51e4e Wolfgang und Stefan besprechen den April 2025 Welche Qualifikation braucht ein Kulturstaatsminister? Pah, das ist ja nicht mal ein richtiger Minister. Also eigentlich keine. Vielleicht wäre etwas mit Medien schön in der Biographie. Will uns die neue Bundesregierung ärgern? Ist Kultur von dort aus gesehen wirklich nur noch ein linksgrünversifftes Projekt, das ein paar hinter die Löffel bekommen soll? Oder ist die Ernennung von Wolfram Weimer einfach Sinnbild für die neue Herangehensweise, für die Modernisierung des Staates auf Verkaufsflächendesigner zu setzen, als Wirtschaftsministerin eine Unternehmensmanagerin zu wählen und überall Juristen zu platzieren, außer im Innenministerium? Wir gehen dem Denken von Wolfram Weimer heute im Detail nach, Wolfgang hat sein Buch gelesen. Danach begutachten wir die Signatur-Politik von Donald Trump. Einfach "Zölle" zu sagen, greift viel zu kurz. Hier klammern Leute am Staat, die ihn zerstören, was sie sich nicht eingestehen können, weil dann die anderen gewonnen hätten. Im Wirtschaftskrieg Amerika gegen China sind es nun die Amerikaner, die den Gesichtsverlust fürchten. Anschließend sehen wir einsame Sportler im Wald, die mal keinen Blödsinn erzählen. KÄS-Termine 2025: Fr. 20.06. / Fr. 19.09. / Fr. 19.12. per Mail: neuezwanziger@diekaes.de SOMMERSALON am 23. August! Tickets gibts hier 00:00:57 Wolfgangs Smartphone Wolfgang erzählt, wie er durch den Kauf eines neuen Autos dazu gezwungen wurde, sich ein Smartphone anzuschaffen. Sein altes Nokia reichte nicht mehr aus, um die modernen Funktionen des Autos zu nutzen. Er beschreibt den Kauf eines iPhones als Verlust seiner Autonomie und Freiheit, da er sich nun der Technologie unterwerfen muss. Stefan versucht, ihm die praktischen Seiten des Smartphones näherzubringen, wie die Navigationsfunktion, die nicht nur im Raum, sondern auch in der Zeit navigiert, indem sie die Ankunftszeit vorhersagt. Wolfgang will das Smartphone jedoch nur für das Nötigste nutzen und nicht für soziale Medien oder ständige Erreichbarkeit. 00:09:06 Strafen für Apple und Meta Passend zu Wolfgangs neuem iPhone wird über eine EU-Strafe gegen Apple berichtet. Die EU-Kommission wirft Apple vor, im App Store andere Anbieter benachteiligt zu haben, indem es Hinweise auf günstigere Angebote außerhalb des Stores verhinderte. Apple soll 500 Millionen Euro Strafe zahlen. Stefan hält die Strafe für längst überfällig, aber angesichts des Lock-in-Effekts, den Apple über Jahre ausgenutzt hat, für zu gering. Wolfgang rechnet vor, dass die Strafe nur einen Bruchteil (0,15%) des möglichen Strafmaßes von bis zu 10% des globalen Jahresumsatzes ausmacht. Auch Meta (Facebook, Instagram) erhielt eine Strafe von 200 Millionen Euro wegen der Praxis, Nutzer vor die Wahl zwischen personalisierter Werbung oder einem Bezahl-Abo zu stellen. Beide Strafen werden als symbolisch und wenig abschreckend kritisiert. Es wird diskutiert, dass die EU sich zwar nicht scheut, US-Tech-Konzerne zu bestrafen, aber die Abhängigkeit von deren digitaler Infrastruktur (Google Suche, Cloud-Dienste etc.) eine härtere Gangart verhindert. Matt Binder von Mashable erklärt, warum Meta die Strafe als "Tariff" (Zoll) bezeichnet, um negative Assoziationen in den USA zu wecken. 00:22:19 Papst beerdigt Stefan berichtet von seinem Wien-Besuch und der dortigen Schatzkammer, wo die Verschmelzung von staatlicher und sakraler Macht sichtbar wird. Im Kontrast dazu steht die als eher schlicht empfundene Beerdigungszeremonie für Papst Franziskus im Petersdom. Ein besonderer Moment war jedoch der Trauerzug mit dem Leichnam des Papstes durch das historische Zentrum Roms zur Basilika Santa Maria Maggiore, wo er beigesetzt wurde. Dieser Akt wurde selbst von nicht-religiösen Menschen als Gänsehautmoment empfunden und als letzter weltlicher Einschlag des Papstes gewertet. Wolfgang erinnert an die Tradition in Wien, verstorbene Burgschauspieler im Sarg um das Burgtheater zu tragen. Es wird auch die politische Dimension des Papsttums angesprochen, etwa die Rolle von Johannes Paul II. im Kalten Krieg oder Franziskus' Appelle gegen Aufrüstung. 00:28:15 Was denkt Wolfram Weimer Wolfram Weimer, ehemaliger Chefredakteur der Welt und Verleger (u.a. Cicero), wurde zum neuen Kulturstaatsminister ernannt. Die Entscheidung von Friedrich Merz löste viel Kritik aus, auch aus konservativen Kreisen. Jürgen Kaube (FAZ) bezweifelt Weimers Interesse an Kunst oder Geist. Die enge Verbindung zwischen Merz und Weimer (Golfpartner, Ludwig-Erhard-Gipfel, gegenseitige Lobpreisungen) wird beleuchtet. Wolfgang hat Weimers "Konservatives Manifest" gelesen, um dessen Denken zu verstehen. In einem Lanz-Auftritt von 2018 erklärt Weimer, Konservatismus sei wieder modern und bedeute nicht das Hängen am Gestern, sondern das Leben aus Werten, die immer gelten (Treue, Anständigkeit, Ehrlichkeit). Wolfgang kritisiert die Beliebigkeit dieser Definition. Stefan sieht Weimer als Gallionsfigur eines verlotternden Untergangs, der Chaos als Normalität verkauft. Weimers Buch wird analysiert: Er beklagt den Niedergang linker Weltanschauungen, interpretiert Böckenförde und Max Weber eigenwillig, fordert eine minimale Gesellschaft, kritisiert die "Bemutterung" durch den Staat (z.B. Verkehrsüberwachung) und sieht die Steuererklärung als "Marsch ins Freiheitsdefizit". Diese libertären Züge werden kritisiert. Weimer beklagt eine "Kleinkariertheit" durch Compliance-Regeln, die Geschenke und Geschäftsessen erschweren. Wolfgang hält das für Jammern auf hohem Niveau. Weimer stellt das Individuum über die Gesellschaft, fordert aber gleichzeitig Patriotismus und unterscheidet zwischen staatsbürgerlichem und natürlichem (Abstammungs-) Vaterland. Diese Widersprüche und die Nähe zum Ethnopluralismus werden diskutiert. Weimer bezieht sich positiv auf Oswald Spengler und beklagt die "biologische Selbstaufgabe" Europas durch niedrige Geburtenraten, spricht vom "eigenen Blut". Er kritisiert die Fokussierung auf die "dunkle Seite" des Kolonialismus in Lehrplänen. Die "Tugendrepublik" der "Gutmenschen" mit ihren Verboten (Fleisch, Kaminfeuer) und Quoten wird angeprangert. Am Ende plädiert er für eine Rechristianisierung Europas durch die Kultur. Abschließend äußern sich Michael Bröker und Micky Beisenherz zur Personalie. 02:20:54 Salon-Anmerkungen Es wird auf den kostenpflichtigen "Salon"-Teil des Podcasts hingewiesen, der die Sendung finanziert. Hörer werden gebeten, den Podcast zu teilen und zu bewerten, um die Sichtbarkeit zu erhöhen. Im nächsten Salon werden die Bücher "Abundance: How We Build a Better Future" von Esra Klein & Derek Thompson und "Die Welt nach dem Kapital" von Albert Wenger besprochen. Es wird erklärt, wie man den Salon über Steady, Patreon oder Apple Podcasts abonnieren kann. Man kann den Salon auch verschenken. Wolfgang kündigt Live-Termine in Zürich und Stuttgart an. Stefan erwähnt einen Termin in Mainz. Leseempfehlungen für den nächsten Salon werden gegeben. 02:26:38 Trumps Fanboys reden über Trumps Zölle Das Hauptthema ist Donald Trumps Zollpolitik. Es wird betont, dass dies seine "Signature Policy" ist, über die er seit Jahrzehnten spricht. Die aktuelle Situation mit Handelskriegen und Marktverwerfungen wird als direkte Folge dieser Politik gesehen. David McWilliams beschreibt Trumps Zoll-Formel als amateurhaft und inkompetent, basierend auf einer Formel, die ökonomisch keinen Sinn ergibt. Wolfgang erläutert den Unterschied zwischen früherer politischer Inkompetenz, die von Institutionen abgefangen wurde, und der heutigen Situation, in der Inkompetenz direkt an den Schalthebeln sitzt und zu chaotischer Politik führt. Stefan ergänzt, dass die Politik normalerweise durch die Verwaltung abgeschottet ist, dieser Mechanismus aber unter Trump zusammenbricht. Trumps Fokus auf Zölle ignoriert die Stärke Amerikas im Bereich digitaler Dienstleistungen und das Dollar-Privileg. Die Reaktion der Kapitalmärkte (steigende Zinsen für US-Staatsanleihen) wird als einziger wirksamer "Check" gegen Trumps Politik diskutiert, da sie die Staatsverschuldung und Kredite verteuert. Trump-Anhänger im "All In"-Podcast versuchen, die Politik zu rechtfertigen, räumen aber ein, dass das versprochene Wirtschaftswachstum ausbleibt. Hoss und Hopf sehen Trumps Handeln als Beschleunigung einer unvermeidbaren Rezession, damit er am Ende seiner Amtszeit als Gewinner dasteht – eine Logik, die als absurd kritisiert wird. Die Notwendigkeit, die heimische Landwirtschaft (Sojabauern) mit Milliardensummen zu subventionieren, um Wählerstimmen zu sichern, wird erwähnt. China reagiert mit der Drohung, westliche IP-Rechte zu ignorieren und Produkte selbst billiger anzubieten. Der Personalmangel in wichtigen Sektoren (Energieversorgung, U-Boot-Bau) in den USA wird thematisiert. Ben Shapiro plädiert für "Rugged Individualism" und lehnt staatliche Eingriffe ab, obwohl der Staat gleichzeitig Grenzen schützen soll. 04:10:24 Krieg: Gaza, Ukraine Die Berichterstattung über den Gaza-Krieg wird kritisiert. Es sei schwierig, seriöse Bilder und Informationen zu erhalten, ohne auf antisemitische Kanäle zu stoßen, die das Leid in Gaza zwar zeigen, aber gleichzeitig Hetze verbreiten. Seriöse Medien würden sich scheuen, die dramatische Lage abzubilden, was wiederum Antisemiten Vorschub leiste. Die Tagesthemen berichten über einen israelischen Angriff auf ein Krankenhaus, bei dem eine Hamas-Kommandozentrale getroffen worden sei, wobei jedoch medizinisches Gerät zerstört wurde. Diese Darstellung wird mit der Berichterstattung über den Ukraine-Krieg verglichen, wo eine solche Übernahme der russischen Darstellung undenkbar wäre. Ein Bericht über die Tötung von palästinensischen Sanitätern durch die israelische Armee, deren Leichen verscharrt wurden, wird erwähnt. Israel weist die Vorwürfe zurück und behauptet ohne Belege, es seien Hamas-Mitglieder gewesen. Ein israelischer Reserve-Offizier äußert sich besorgt über den zunehmenden Einfluss rechtsextremer Minister auf die Armee. Es wird die Entkopplung von Soldaten vom zivilen Leben und der Politik im Krieg thematisiert, illustriert durch Aussagen eines ukrainischen Soldaten, der nur noch seinen Frontabschnitt und seine Leute sieht. Die psychischen Folgen und die Verrohung durch den Krieg werden angesprochen. 04:28:46 EU und Aserbaidschan Die EU-Außenbeauftragte Kaya Kallas besucht Aserbaidschan. Stefan merkt an, dass Kallas im Westen kaum bekannt ist, in Russland aber neben Trump als Hauptgegnerin wahrgenommen wird. Kallas bezeichnet China als Schlüssel für den russischen Krieg, da es Russland wirtschaftlich und mit Dual-Use-Gütern unterstütze. Ihr Besuch in Baku wird kritisiert, da Aserbaidschan unter Präsident Aliyev einen Angriffskrieg gegen Armenier in Bergkarabach geführt hat, die Zivilgesellschaft unterdrückt und politische Gefangene hält. Dustin Hoffmann wirft der EU-Kommission vor, Werte zu ignorieren und sich brutalen Diktatoren anzubieten. Kallas lobt Aserbaidschan hingegen als wichtigen und verlässlichen Energiepartner, der der EU geholfen habe, sich von russischer Energie zu lösen. Es wird enthüllt, dass Aserbaidschan russisches Gas an die EU weiterleitet und somit von den Sanktionen profitiert. Kallas spricht dennoch von gemeinsamen Werten wie Menschenrechten und Rechtsstaatlichkeit und begrüßt eine Einigung im Friedensprozess mit Armenien. Der aserbaidschanische Außenminister Bayramov betont die guten Beziehungen zur Türkei und kritisiert die Biden-Administration als zu pro-armenisch. Er zeigt sich hoffnungsvoll bezüglich der neuen Trump-Administration. Aserbaidschan pflegt trotz seiner muslimischen Prägung enge Beziehungen zu Israel, bezieht Waffen und liefert Erdöl. Das Verhältnis zu Russland wird als "normal" beschrieben, wobei man die territoriale Integrität der Ukraine respektiere. Aserbaidschan wird als Beispiel für neue globale Akteure gesehen, die pragmatisch mit allen Seiten kooperieren und Einmischung ablehnen. 04:48:15 Neue Zeitrechnung Der Erfolgscoach Ed Mylett präsentiert ein Konzept zur Zeitmanipulation: Er teilt seinen Tag in drei 6-Stunden-Abschnitte (6-12 Uhr, 12-18 Uhr, 18-24 Uhr) und gewinnt so angeblich 21 Tage pro Woche. Wolfgang entlarvt dies als simple Einführung von Doppelschichten. Stefan meint, dass KI solche individuellen Zeitrechnungen problemlos in Standardzeit übersetzen könnte. 04:51:08 Neue Sportideologie Es wird eine aufkeimende Gegenbewegung zur rechten Vereinnahmung von Fitness und Männlichkeit beobachtet. Als Beispiel dient ein Fitness-Influencer, der in einem Video klarstellt, dass das Heben von Gewichten einen nicht zum "Warrior" oder Beschützer macht. Er kritisiert "Douchbags wie Andrew Tate", die Männern einreden, Frauen und Immigranten seien ihre Probleme. Er analysiert, wie rechte Ideologien über harmlos erscheinende Aktivitäten wie Fitness normalisiert und Fitness selbst radikalisiert wird. Der wahre Feind seien nicht andere Gruppen, sondern die Superreichen und CEOs, die von der Ungleichheit profitieren ("The enemy is up"). Er ruft Männer dazu auf, sich als Arbeiterklasse zu erkennen und sich nicht länger von den Eliten spalten zu lassen, um echten Wandel zu ermöglichen. Wolfgang hofft, dass solche Stimmen lauter werden. Stefan erwartet einen großen Backlash gegen die aktuelle politische Situation, die von Partikularinteressen und offensichtlicher Dummheit geprägt sei. Die Rolle von superreichen Geldgebern und Netzwerken innerhalb der CDU wird angesprochen. Komm' in den Salon. Es gibt ihn via Webplayer & RSS-Feed (zum Hören im Podcatcher deiner Wahl, auch bei Apple Podcasts und Spotify).

VYS0049 | Machines of Loving Vayse - Vayse to Face with Sequoyah Kennedy v2.0 - Show Notes Imagine, if you will, a world burning as society crumbles (is this stretching you?), in the perpetual, scorched twighlight of a dying planet, the determined foot of a tall figure crushes a skull on a landscape forged of human bones - that foot belongs to Sequoyah Kennedy and the human bones are the vestiges of the common myths and misunderstandings about artificial intelligence... apparently AI's are better than humans at devising effective metaphors in order to convey useful information - and we'll have to hope for their sake that's true. In this episode Hine and Buckley invite back to Vayse one of the most intelligent and articulate humans in the material world, Sequoyah Kennedy. Since the Nonsense Bazaar ended SK has gone deep down the rabbit hole of large language models and has returned to help Hine and Buckley get their heads round what artificial intelligence actually means in 2025 and dismisses some of the ubiquitous confusion which surrounds the topic: is the best use of AI as personal assistant and unpaid artists? Are there demons haunting cyberspace? Do androids dream of electric sheep? and he touches on one of the big questions of our time - are we all in very real danger from this soulless, characterless mockery of human ingenuity with no empathy, no conscience and no soul... or will Elon Musk just finally piss off so that we can live in glorious harmony with our wonderful, wise robot buddies? (recorded 11 March) Thanks to Sequoyah for his patenience in explaining these ocmplex ideas to two middle-aged luddites and thanks, as always to Special K - the man who makes sense of our ramblings, Keith who once again did a sterling job of the show notes.

Is AI the savior or the destroyer of journalism?

Whether you're a journalist, PR professional, or simply interested in the future of media, this episode provides a balanced and nuanced look at how AI is reshaping the way we create, consume, and distribute information. Don't miss this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the opportunities and pitfalls that lie ahead in the brave new world of AI-assisted communications. Listen in and hear about... AI's transformative impact on media and journalism Challenges and opportunities for PR professionals in the AI era Evolving strategies for earning attention in a fragmented media landscape Ethical considerations of AI-generated content and transparency Innovative AI tools reshaping content creation and distribution The enduring value of human creativity and critical thinking in storytelling Balancing AI assistance with maintaining authentic voice and expertise Notable Quotes On the Evolution of Digital Media: "Mashable was trying to be kind of like the millennial version of CNN at some point. So really, you know, struck gold with its strategy, which very few people were doing at the time, in the late 2000s, early 2010s of going all in on social media." - Pete Pachal [07:47 → 08:09] On AI's Impact on Journalism: "AI is affecting everything with regard to media at every layer, like the distribution, the production, just the story ideas even. And that idea of doing something quick and easy and employing whether it's interns or junior level people to just fire out those posts, that's a job for a robot now." - Pete Pachal [12:52 → 13:11] On the Changing Media Landscape: "Media itself is on its own hero's journey and now they're going through these trials and tribulations and they need to pass through them to get to the other side where they will be welcomed with open arms and redeemed if they follow the cycle." - Dan Nestle [13:53 → 14:11] On the Role of AI in Journalism: "The quick, the quick application, I guess a statement I would say about applying AI to journalism is it's like super easy to abuse and harder to use." - Pete Pachal [16:42 → 17:07] On the Future of AI-Generated Content: "I don't know a single journalist now who doesn't at least use perplexity or something like it every now and then, at least. Right. And there's other ways to improve that. Chief among them is essentially using AI with your own data, whether it's your stories or in the case of say, a legal reporter, using it on all these sort of legal documents around a case, which is a relatively easy thing to set up." - Pete Pachal [17:28 → 17:54] On the Future of AI in Media: "I think there's actually a better reason to do this kind of thing. And I think that the reason other orgs may want to start doing this for basically stories they don't have people for but are still relevant to their beat or their area of expertise is to make sure their corpus of content includes those stories." - Pete Pachal [22:32 → 22:50] On the Importance of Human Touch in Writing: "Writing is thinking. And he's right. The act of writing is not separable from the storytelling phase of it. And I think every writer knows this. As you're writing a story and you're, you know, you're figuring out transitions and things, you're like, oh, right, I should say this or I should say that." - Pete Pachal [46:28 → 46:48] Resources and Links Dan Nestle Inquisitive Communications | Website The Trending Communicator | Website Communications Trends from Trending Communicators | Dan Nestle's Substack Dan Nestle | LinkedIn Dan Nestle | Twitter/X Pete Pachal Pete Pachal | LinkedIn The Media Copilot Website The Media Copilot | Substack AI for PR & Media Professionals - Course Pull to Open | Pete's Dr. Who Podcast Timestamped key moments from this episode (as generated by Fireflies.ai)

Just two more sleeps until Christmas! Oh, and Happy Festivus for the rest of us! Brian returned from vacation today & we started things off with news about the La Crosse Mayoral race, an officer-involved shooting in Chippewa County, an updated on the WI school shooting from last week, and sad news about a couple of retired K9 Officers. In sports, we recapped this weekend's NFL action & took a look ahead to tonight's MNF matchup between the Saints & Packers. Also, the Badgers got a nice win before the holiday break, an updated look at the College Football Playoff bracket after a few games this past weekend, and Tiger Woods' son is the real deal! We talked about a VERY festive pub in England, and took a look at some of Google's year-end search trends. Great story about CNN's "Hero of the Year", and a Bengals fan who won free pizza for everyone in the stadium during yesterday's game against the Browns. Mashable.com put together a list of the top Christmas horror movies of all time, and even though 2nd Floor Sarah is out, we hooked you up with a few things going on in the area this week. During today's "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a drone show that went horribly wrong, a bunch of skiers in Colorado that got stuck on a lift, a contractor in Maine who wanted just one more spin on the slot machine before being arrested, and apparently…people are putting glitter in their pickles.

Apple is reportedly facing a fine from the European Union, and it could be a hefty one. It’s the first Big Tech company to be slapped with a financial penalty under the EU’s Digital Markets Act, which went into effect last year. The law, aimed at spurring competition in digital markets, requires Big Tech companies designated as “gatekeepers” to change policies that lock consumers into their products. Like, say, the walled garden of the Apple App Store. EU regulators ruled that Apple violated the DMA by failing to fully support app developers “steering” consumers to alternative marketplaces. It’s a story Matt Binder, a senior tech reporter for Mashable, has been following.

It's Casual Friday! Sam and Emma speak with Mehdi Hasan, founder, CEO, and editor-in-chief of the new media company Zeteo, to discuss the biggest stories of the week and his new venture. First, Sam & Emma check in on Trump's trial, where people are concerned about how he keeps falling asleep. But that doesn't matter to South Carolina diner patrons* (*Ainsley Earhardt's friends and family), including former South Carolina State Rep. Chip Huggins, who thinks Trump is being crucified in court. It also doesn't apply to NewsMax's Carl Higbie, who is ecstatic to see how much energy Trump is showing by taking a car from lower Manhattan to Trump Tower on 5th Avenue. Then Mehdi joins Sam and Emma, and they discuss how the propaganda in support of Israel appearing on news and social media is the greatest since the entire media machine threw itself behind the Iraq War in the early 2000's. They discuss President Biden's reactions to the campus protests, the weaponization of the word "democracy", the baffling decision by Senate Majority Leader Schumer to reportedly partner with Speaker Johnson to invite Netanyahu to address Congress, and also check out Sen. Bernie Sanders explaining why Israel may end up being President Biden's own version of Vietnam. And in the Fun Half, the MR Crew check out Joe Rogan decrying out of control wokeness infiltrating college campuses, a respected Dartmouth history professor, Annelise Orleck, being forcibly arrested by police at a campus protest, Mehdi Hasan expertly dressing down Piers Morgan in a debate over the usage of the word "Intifada", and Donald Trump pretending like he doesn't know who RFK Jr. is when asked about him, even though they met at Trump Tower in 2016, and Trump is worried he's going to siphon votes away from him in November.
