Jen, Eric, and Phil break down a week where EA torched a premium launch, Sony declared the disc dead, and Riot reminded everyone that nostalgia is still the most reliable growth lever in games.

This week, Zak and Aaron are back to talk about the biggest event in the history of the games industry, and why it could still be considered a failure in the eyes of investors. That's right, Grand Theft Auto VI, the game to end all games and save manufacturers from languishing console sails, could absolutely flop. If its hotly anticipated online component doesn't just meet, but exceed the astronomical financial figures posted by GTA V since its launch in 2013, the future of Rockstar and its 5,000-plus employees may be a lot less stable than previously imagined.Sources:I Cant Believe You've Done This - PWee28Take-Two's real GTA 6 jackpot may not be the game itself - The StreetGTA 5 Statistics 2026 - Axis Intelligence ResearchGTA Online Leak Reveals $5 Billion In Revenue, Shocking Spending Habits - RockstarIntelGTA 6 is a 'singleplayer experience', leaving me to question what's going on with GTA Online - PC GamerGTA 6 Doesn't Mean The End Of GTA Online, Says Take-Two CEO - KotakuGTA 6 Has the Highest Break-Even Threshold in Entertainment History - GTABoomListen to Beach Girl on SpotifyCheck Out MosscatMarket on Instagram

Pokémon Champions launched on mobile doing roughly $300-400K/day. Two days later it was collapsing. It's now around $80K/day and falling — a textbook shark fin from the biggest IP on the planet. We cover the wins on this podcast, but we also cover the failures, and this one is genuinely fascinating.We break down what went wrong with Pokémon Champions. The game is essentially Pokémon Stadium (the N64 classic) rebuilt for mobile — a pure battler with no exploration, no gyms, no story, no breeding, no catching Pokémon in the wild. The gacha is neutered into a "pick one of ten" system with no randomness at all. And the killer: Pokémon Home import lets players bring their existing collections straight in from Pokémon Go and other titles, so many players arrived on launch day with everything already unlocked — what Jakub calls "Web3 interoperability in play," and a total economy destroyer. Monetization is cosmetics, a battle pass, and ranch refresh tickets. That's it. The crew also contrasts it with the Pokémon apps that genuinely print money (TCG Pocket at ~$15M/month, Pokémon Sleep at ~$150K/day and ~$150M in three years, Pokémon Go spiking on the 30th anniversary), and picks apart the UA: ~300 creatives that are really about 7 concepts, almost all 15-21 seconds, cut from a year-old trailer.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 Why we're covering a failure02:40 It's Pokémon Stadium, rebuilt for mobile07:05 The neutered gacha — pick one of ten11:26 The shallow monetization: cosmetics and a battle pass12:30 Pokémon Home import — the economy killer14:35 The numbers — shark fin, Japan-driven, 16% US17:06 The Pokémon apps that actually print money19:59 The creatives — 300 videos, 7 concepts, all too shortThis episode is brought to you by Kinoa — the AI operating system for mobile game operations: flows, live segments, in-app messages, push notifications, and A/B testing in one place, run by the operators who own the numbers.

The Capitalism Model and Monetization of the Space Sector. Bob Zimmerman. Wall Street has embraced commercial space, with private companies like Catalyst performing satellite servicing missions once reserved for government agencies. The U.S. Space Force now buys rapid-launch capabilities from the private sector for orbital reconnaissance. India is also transitioning its space program toward this capitalist model to increase efficiency. (11)

SCHEDULE THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 7-8-20261966 SWEDEN Chaos in the Strait of Hormuz and Global Alignments. Gordon Chang and Kamran Bokhari. The Strait of Hormuz memorandum of understanding has collapsed, leading the U.S. to end the ceasefire with Iran. Iran is attempting to divide international allies by courting India and Pakistan. Pakistan balances a mediating role against domestic economic instability, while India shifts toward a burden-sharing role in the Indo-Pacific. (1) Chinese Missile Provocations and the Undersea Power Struggle. Gordon Chang and Rebecca Grant. Chinalaunched a long-range missile over sovereign territories toward Fiji, an aggressive move coinciding with major NATO and RIMPAC events. The test signals China's intent to expand its nuclear triad despite its currently "noisy" submarine technology. The U.S. maintains its undersea dominance through advanced programs like the Columbia-class boomer and unmanned Orca systems. (2) Religious Persecution and the Rise of Underground Christianity in China. Gordon Chang and Piero Tozzi. Pastor Ezra Jin's release highlights the CCP's continued persecution of underground churches that refuse to answer to the state. Despite intense Sinicization and arrests of figures like Jimmy Lai, Christianity is flourishing in China as a witness for human dignity. Totalitarian control efforts have created an enemy in an underground congregation potentially numbering over 100 million. (3) PLA Purges and Xi Jinping's Power Consolidation. Gordon Chang and Piero Tozzi. Xi Jinping's provocative missile launches are linked to internal instability and purges within the Central Military Commission. By creating international tension, Xi forces competing party factions to rally behind his leadership. While he controls the propaganda and state security apparatus, his control over the People's Liberation Army remains incomplete. (4) Venezuela's Humanitarian Crisis and US Diplomatic Pragmatism. Evan Ellis. Twin earthquakes in Venezuelahave left thousands dead and missing, with the Maduro regime's response marked by corruption and inefficiency. The U.S. continues to work with regime "thugs" for stability and oil access while preventing the democratically elected leader, María Corina Machado, from returning to aid her country. (5) Electoral Shifts Toward U.S. Cooperation in Peru and Colombia. Evan Ellis. Keiko Fujimori in Peru and Abelardo de la Espriella in Colombia have secured victories, pledging to join U.S.-led regional security coalitions. Both leaders inherit nations plagued by record-high coca production and expanded criminal groups. Their success is viewed as critical for regional stability and counter-cartel efforts in the Americas. (6) Bolivia's Instability and US-Mexico Trade Leverage. Evan Ellis. Bolivia remains on "borrowed time" as Evo Morales leads blockades from his coca-growing stronghold. Simultaneously, the U.S. uses the USMCA's renewal uncertainty as leverage to ensure Mexico's cooperation on migration and drugs. This strategy risks long-term investment but forces immediate strategic compliance from the Mexican administration. (7) Cuba's Grid Collapse and Caribbean Regional Integration. Evan Ellis. Cuba's recurring blackouts highlight a crumbling infrastructure and the failure of economic reforms to appease U.S. sanctions. While the U.S. applies individual sanctions on leaders, CARICOM is expanding its regional influence, recently bringing Martinique in as an associate member to bolster Caribbean governance and maritime security. (8) Russia's Energy Chokepoint and the Shifting Global Oil Map. Michael Bernstam. Ukrainian drone strikes on major Russian refineries have triggered a severe fuel crisis, forcing export bans on diesel and gasoline. Meanwhile, Gulf states are building massive pipelines to bypass the Strait of Hormuz. These developments are neutralizing Iran's "golden weapon" and shifting global oil transit maps away from traditional naval chokepoints. (9) The Strategic Impact of the Drone War on Russia. Michael Bernstam. Ukrainian drones have achieved what sanctions could not, choking Russia's fuel supply and forcing it to sell oil at massive discounts to China and India. This new form of decentralized drone warfare has made fuel supplies the primary vulnerability of the Russianeconomy. Modern nations, including Taiwan, are now observing these lessons in resource warfare. (10) The Capitalism Model and Monetization of the Space Sector. Bob Zimmerman. Wall Street has embraced commercial space, with private companies like Catalyst performing satellite servicing missions once reserved for government agencies. The U.S. Space Force now buys rapid-launch capabilities from the private sector for orbital reconnaissance. India is also transitioning its space program toward this capitalist model to increase efficiency. (11) Asteroid Probes and Scientific Cosmological Anomalies. Bob Zimmerman. Missions are targeting asteroids like the potentially dangerous Apophis, with a fleet of probes planning a 2029 flyby. Meanwhile, the Euclid telescope has detected ancient quasars that challenge Big Bang timelines. Additional anomalies in Galaxy Centaurus A and unpredictable sunspot activity suggest current cosmological models remain incomplete. (12) European Heat Waves and Shifting Commodity Markets. Simon Constable. Extreme heat is becoming the norm in Europe, driving demand for air conditioning and pressuring electrical infrastructure. Commodity prices show mixed signals; oil and gas have risen due to Middle East tensions, while industrial metals like copper decline. In Britain, Andy Burnham is positioned as a likely future prime leader. (13) The Invisible Power of Global Data Centers. Simon Constable. Data centers represent the digital future, with Virginia housing the world's highest concentration for the federal government. Despite accounting for over 4% of U.S. electricity usage, a quiz reveals that a quarter of Americans know nothing about these facilities. The U.K.holds the second-highest number of data centers globally. (14) The Sino-American Lunar Race for Permanent Presence. Rick Fisher and Doug Messier. China aims for a permanent lunar presence at the South Pole to potentially deny access to other powers. NASA is countering with a civilian coalition of private partners like SpaceX to develop sustainable infrastructure for future Mars missions. China's architecture mimics Soviet systems, while NASA's Starship requires complex orbital refueling to reach the moon. (15) Risk Aversion and Logistical Timelines for Moon Landings. Rick Fisher and Doug Messier. The Chinesespace program is highly risk-averse to protect the Communist Party's legitimacy. While NASA is "game on," it faces challenges with the Starship lander, which reportedly requires at least 15 refueling launches per mission. China hopes for a manned landing by 2030, while NASA's 2028 timeline remains subject to potential delays. (16)

The podcasting world is undergoing a major shift, and if you're still measuring success by download numbers alone, it's time to rethink your strategy. I break down how monetization in the industry has changed, sharing real examples from shows we work with directly, including how some previously sponsor-heavy podcasts have completely pivoted their revenue approach. I also make the case for treating your podcast as a content engine rather than a destination, using Amy Poehler's podcast as a prime example of how repurposed clips can generate 6x the views of the original episode. Plus, learn how something as simple as adding a subtitle to your show can help you niche down, attract the right audience, and grow faster.Key Topics Covered:How podcasters are moving away from big sponsorships and finding new ways to monetize their shows.Why the mindset shift from "driving listeners back to your podcast" to "using your podcast to fuel all other content" is essential right now.How Amy Poehler's podcast reels generate 6x more views than the podcast itself and what that means for your strategy.Monetization ideas you can start implementing regardless of your download numbers.Why niching down attracts the right audience, and how adding a subtitle helped one client do exactly that.Links & Resources:Listen to Ep. 73: https://www.pivotballchange.com/podcast-1/73Instagram Carousel Mentioned: https://www.instagram.com/p/DZATVngDj_x/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==Listen to Ep. 60 with Liz Emmerich: https://www.pivotballchange.com/podcast-1/60Listen to Ep. 56 with Kaitlin McMahan: https://www.pivotballchange.com/podcast-1/56Let's Connect!Book Your Podcast Consultation Today: https://www.pivotballchange.com/servicesLaunch Your Podcast with Pivot Ball Change: https://www.pivotballchange.com/servicesFollow Pivot Ball Change on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pivotballchange/Visit Pivot Ball Change's Website: https://www.pivotballchange.com/Riverside: https://riverside.sjv.io/c/6950782/2183832/28064

Introduction The rules that governed software pricing for a decade are breaking down. Per-user SaaS models made sense when users were people. Now that AI is automating those seats, the pricing logic collapses — and carriers, brokers, and insurtech vendors are all rethinking the economics at the same time. Michael Nadel is a partner and head of the global insurance practice at Simon-Kucher & Partners. He joined Josh Hollander for his second appearance on the show to dig into what the AI era is actually doing to monetization — from the pricing mistakes early movers keep making, to why outcome-based models are harder to execute than they are to sell, to a 50,000-session LLM shopping simulation that revealed what could become the next SEO arms race for insurance carriers.   Guest Bio Michael Nadel is a partner and head of the global insurance practice at Simon-Kucher & Partners, a global strategy consultancy focused on growth, pricing, and monetization. Before consulting, he spent time at CNA in strategy and innovation, and earlier led large-scale financial services implementation work at Accenture. He advises carriers, brokers, MGAs, and insurtech vendors on pricing strategy, and co-hosts an annual monetization masterclass at InsureTech Connect.   Key Topics From offense to defense — A year ago, clients asked how to monetize new AI features. Today the questions are more defensive: how does AI threaten my core product, my pricing model, and my existing revenue base? The two biggest AI pricing mistakes — Pricing before understanding what customers actually value, and jumping to outcome-based models before you can define or reliably deliver the outcome. Outcome-based pricing is the destination, not the shortcut — Buyers love paying only when value is delivered. The problem is definitional complexity — what counts as the outcome, who controls it, and what happens when results fall short. AI spend that looks like RPA in new packaging — Carriers running well-designed AI programs focus on workflow economics, not technology for its own sake. The recommended split: 70% on high-value workflow automation, 20% on data and governance, 10% on exploratory bets. GEO: the next SEO — Simon-Kucher simulated 50,000 insurance shopping sessions across 50 consumer personas and three major LLMs. What gets a carrier recommended by an LLM is not the same as what gets them ranked on Google. CMOs need to decide how to treat LLMs as a distribution channel now. Services businesses face the same disruption — Pure labor arbitrage is structurally challenged by AI. Firms that survive will combine domain expertise with AI-enabled delivery and evolve from vendors to partners.   Notable Quotes "You need to understand what people value before you prescribe a price. But very often, people build something, bring it to market, and then try to figure out why it isn't selling." "Automating a bad process simply creates a faster bad process." "It's not replacing system X with system Y — it's changing the way you work fundamentally. Orange juice to lemonade. Not a better way to make orange juice." "Last year, roughly one percent of our traffic came from LLMs. This year it was roughly five percent and increasing."   Resources Guest: Simon-Kucher & Partners: https://www.simon-kucher.com Michael Nadel on LinkedIn: (verify and add URL) Host & Organization: Joshua R.

Join Cihan Fuat Atkin, CEO and Founder of XCINEX, for a forward-looking examination of the structural forces rewriting the business of global entertainment. Boasting over 15 years of operational excellence, Cihan has generated $330M+ in partner revenue and scaled cross-border media-tech companies from raw concept to high-value exit. As Hollywood grapples with deep subscription stagnation, soaring production budgets, and the radical disruption of generative AI, Cihan argues that the real crisis isn't a lack of content—it's a broken distribution model. In this episode—recorded ahead of the highly anticipated July 4th rollout of VENUE+—we unpack how computer vision and automated auditing are replacing legacy tracking to give studios, live event promoters, and individual creators absolute transparency over their at-home audiences.

ChatGPT's dominance of the AI market is slipping. New data from Sensor Tower shows OpenAI's flagship chatbot falling below 50% market share for the first time, while Google's Gemini and Anthropic's Claude continue gaining ground. At the same time, AI app downloads, consumer spending, and competition are accelerating across the industry. In this episode of Hashtag Trending, Jim Love examines what the changing AI landscape means for OpenAI, why Illinois could become the first U.S. state to restrict the use of AI-powered smart glasses while driving, and why Microsoft is reportedly considering a larger role for China's DeepSeek AI model inside Copilot and Azure despite potential geopolitical concerns. The show also looks at reports of another round of gaming industry layoffs, with Microsoft, Sony, and other publishers facing pressure to control costs while increasingly investing in AI-powered development tools. Stories include: • ChatGPT falls to 46.4% market share as Gemini and Claude gain ground • Illinois moves to restrict AI smart glasses while driving • Microsoft evaluates expanding DeepSeek in Azure and Copilot • Gaming industry braces for possible new layoffs amid AI transition #AI #ChatGPT #Microsoft #DeepSeek #Gemini #Claude #GamingIndustry #Xbox #ArtificialIntelligence #TechnologyNews #HashtagTrending Chapters: 00:00 Headlines and Intro 00:29 ChatGPT Share Shifts 02:41 AI Spending and Monetization 04:28 Retail AI and Amazon Rufus 06:01 Illinois Smart Glasses Ban 07:41 Microsoft Eyes DeepSeek 10:02 Gaming Layoffs and AI 12:46 Wrap Up and Outro

The shift from traditional television to connected TV has accelerated rapidly, requiring publishers to offer both massive culture-shifting scale and ultra-precise targeting capabilities. In this deep dive, Netflix Advertising VP Nicolle Pangis pulls back the curtain on how the platform built an independent, proprietary ad server to give global brands the exact mix of automated programmatic buying and high-impact live events they need to drive measurable ROI. Key Highlights

Brent is joined by Paige Kosinski, co-founder of Odyssey Entertainment Group, an influencer talent management company that has grown from a boutique operation into a mid-size powerhouse. The conversation covers the evolution of the creator economy, the art of matching talent with brands, and the practical steps aspiring creators need to take to build sustainable careers. Whether you are a merchant looking to leverage influencer marketing or a creator hoping to monetize your platform, this episode delivers real-world guidance from someone who lives and breathes this space every single day.Key TakeawaysConsistency beats follower count. Algorithms reward creators who show up regularly, and brands now prioritize engaged communities over raw follower numbers.Start with one clear focus. Creators should establish expertise in a single area before expanding into lifestyle content. That focus gives audiences a reason to stick around.Brand partnerships drive the bulk of creator revenue. Beyond one-off deals, long-term collaborations with aligned brands create stability for both the creator and the company.AI-generated content can backfire. Audiences are quick to spot avatar-driven or AI-produced material, and brands are even adding contract clauses to limit AI use in creative deliverables.The creator economy welcomes every generation. Gen X influencers are thriving on social platforms, proving that audience-building has no age requirement.Personal branding comes first. Monetization follows naturally when a creator invests in building a genuine, recognizable brand with clear content pillars.Cross-platform presence matters. Successful creators post across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Pinterest depending on where their audience lives.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Odyssey Entertainment Group01:53 The Evolution of Influencer Management05:11 Matching Influencers with Brands09:03 The Importance of Community and Niche10:07 Engaging Older Audiences11:11 Navigating Different Platforms12:39 Building a Personal Brand13:31 Public Speaking and Influencer Opportunities14:33 The Role of AI in Content Creation17:21 Getting Started as an Influencer18:55 Closing Thoughts and Promotions ResourcesOdyssey Entertainment Group - https://www.odysseyentertainmentgroup.comErica Ver - PianyandHoney - https://www.instagram.com/pianyandhoneyWall Blush Modern Manor Collection - https://wallblush.com/collections/modern-manor

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Coylette James Here is a clear, polished summary and outline of the Dr. Coylette James interview with Rushion McDonald, based entirely on the transcript you provided. Summary of the Interview with Dr. Coylette James on Money Making Conversations Master Class Ffounder of a faith‑based nonprofit and creator of The Lioness Effect—discusses her mission to empower women to heal, lead, and monetize their purpose without compromising their values. She and host Rushion McDonald explore themes such as identity, healing from trauma, walking in authenticity, entrepreneurship, integrating faith into business, and redefining wealth. Dr. James emphasizes that women must first understand their identity and unique “superpower" before they can build meaningful businesses or confidently step into leadership. Drawing from her decades in corporate executive leadership and ministry, she explains how healing from past traumas, rejecting societal stereotypes, and valuing one’s own expertise are necessary steps toward long‑term success. She also breaks down practical strategies for clarifying value, avoiding under‑earning, building integrity‑driven wealth, and developing a legacy. Her life philosophy—“Don’t live your age, live your life”—shows up in her mindset, style, and discipline, as she approaches age 70 with energy, purpose, and intention. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to: Introduce Dr. Coylette James' work and her framework, The Lioness Effect, which helps women transform purpose into profit. Share practical guidance on identity, leadership, faith‑based entrepreneurship, and building wealth with integrity. Encourage women to overcome limiting beliefs, value their expertise, and break free from societal or personal constraints. Inspire listeners with Dr. James’s personal philosophy on aging, growth, and living boldly. Key Takeaways 1. Identity Is the Foundation Women must first understand who they are to build authentic businesses. Uniqueness is a “superpower” and should not be traded for cultural expectations. 2. Healing Precedes Leadership Trauma—whether personal, societal, or generational—can limit confidence. “Hurt leaders will hurt people.” Women must heal to lead with clarity and compassion. 3. Authenticity Builds Trust and Value You are your greatest asset; your voice is your brand. Don’t shrink or dim your identity to fit an image or corporate mold. 4. Faith and Business Are Not Separate Dr. James teaches that faith should inform, not divide from, business practices. Integrity and values should guide branding, service, and pricing. 5. Stop Over‑Serving and Under‑Earning People often undervalue what they give because they haven’t valued it themselves. Women must attach a price to their expertise, time, and transformation they provide. 6. Quality Creates Wealth Wealth isn’t only money; it includes wisdom and legacy. Quality and excellence build strong brands and repeat customers. 7. Know Your Lane Talent alone doesn’t build wealth—business skills matter. Bring in help for areas outside your strengths (marketing, operations, finance). 8. Entrepreneurship Requires Wisdom & Prioritization Dr. James balanced a full‑time executive career with her nonprofit by: Allocating hours wisely Using time strategically Mentoring within her workplace Following passion while honoring responsibilities 9. Age Is Not a Limiter At nearly 70, she asserts: “Don’t live your age, live your life.” Reinvention is possible at any age. Notable Quotes Here are direct, impactful lines from the conversation: On Identity & Purpose “Your authenticity is your empowerment.” “We were created on purpose for a purpose.” “If you’re trying to be what culture says you are, you’ll miss who you are authentically.” On Superpower “You take the supernatural of God, put it on your natural, and you’re empowered by it.” On Healing & Leadership “Hurt leaders will hurt people.” “I can’t take you where I haven’t been.” On Value & Monetization “What would you buy from you?” “If you wouldn’t pay for what you're selling, why should someone else?” “People will pay for quality.” On Wealth & Legacy “Wealth is not always monetary. My biggest wealth is the legacy I’m leaving.” “Make sure you put the quality in before your name goes on it.” On Aging & Living Fully “Don’t live your age, live your life.” “I will never get old. I will get older.” “How important are you to you?” #SHMS #BEST #STRAW #AMISee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have you ever wondered why some founders can have undeniable authority and skill, yet still struggle to translate that into real wealth for themselves? What if the gap isn't about effort, expertise, or even pricing… but about the architecture of the business itself?   In this episode, Eleanor dives into the concept of seven-figure authority paired with six-figure monetization architecture. She breaks down why positioning alone doesn't guarantee income, how the market can pull your business downward if you're attracting lower-value buyers, and why solving smaller problems - even exceptionally well - limits both revenue and enterprise value.   Watch the full video here: https://youtu.be/IVq0Y5keBrk Get full show notes and more information here: https://safimedia.co/WO104 Follow Eleanor on LinkedIn and Instagram here:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/eleanorbeaton/ https://www.instagram.com/eleanorbeaton/

In episode 666 of the New Media Show, hosted by 2017 Podcast Hall of Famer Rob Greenlee, Rob talks with Greg Wasserman, Head of Relationships at RSS.com and host of Podcast Network Insights, for a deep conversation about one of the biggest questions facing podcasting, video, creator media, and digital networks right now: Podcast networks were originally built for an audio-first industry, but audiences have already moved the definition of a podcast beyond audio. Today, a podcast can be a YouTube show, a Spotify video, an Apple video podcast, a livestream, a short clip, a newsletter, a community, or part of a larger creator-led media brand. Greg brings a unique perspective from his work at RSS.com and from interviewing the leaders behind podcast networks, collectives, production companies, and niche media groups on Podcast Network Insights. He explains that podcast networks are no longer one simple model. Some are media-sales businesses. Some are community-driven groups. Some operate more like production companies, collectives, or full creator networks. Rob and Greg explore how the network model is shifting as video, live streaming, AI, Apple Podcasts, HLS video, YouTube, Netflix, Spotify, FAST channels, private communities, and creator monetization reshape what podcasting can become. The conversation also asks whether independent podcasters should join networks, what creators need to understand before making that decision, and why the future may depend less on downloads alone and more on trust, audience relationships, collaboration, niche value, and direct monetization. 00:00 Welcome to New Media Show #666 00:32 Are podcast networks becoming creator networks? 01:00 How audiences have already redefined podcasting 02:00 Introducing Greg Wasserman from RSS.com 03:00 Why Greg created Podcast Network Insights 04:00 How different podcast networks define community 05:00 Monetization, growth, and the changing role of networks 06:00 Internal network community vs audience community 07:00 Private communities, subscriptions, and audience relationships 08:00 Nova Podcast Network and media-company network models 09:00 Cross-promotion and collaboration inside networks 10:00 Are creators returning to collaboration? 11:00 Podcast networks as media companies 13:00 Owned-and-operated shows vs independent rev-share shows 15:00 Why ad revenue is not the only network business model 16:00 Marketing Podcast Network and niche value 17:00 Jay Shetty, Netflix, and platform exclusivity 18:00 Is Netflix becoming a podcast network? 19:00 Collectives, media companies, and different network definitions 20:00 What is a podcast network today? 21:00 Production companies and network partnerships 23:00 How creators should decide whether to join a network 24:00 Understanding your “why” before joining a network 25:00 iHeart, ad inventory, and the volume-based network model 26:00 Why sponsor status can distract from real monetization 27:00 Does network branding still matter? 28:00 Pineapple Street, GZM, Disney, and network identity 30:00 MCNs, YouTube networks, and the return of multi-channel networks 31:00 Silicon Valley, new media networks, and digital-native media 34:00 Traditional media adopts podcasting, video, and companion content 35:00 Apple Podcasts HLS video as a future distribution channel 36:00 Why video attracts higher media dollars 37:00 Know, like, and trust as a creator value 38:00 Will Apple Podcasts HLS video matter? 39:00 Free platforms, hidden costs, and creator control 41:00 Future ad dashboards across Spotify, Apple, YouTube, and Twitch 42:00 Platform exclusivity, Jay Shetty, Joe Rogan, and audience loss 44:00 Creator hustle and why networks cannot do all the work 46:00 Subscription fatigue and fragmented media access 47:00 More than 20 ways creators can make money 48:00 Lean creator teams, production help, and content scale 49:00 How podcast networks are using AI 50:00 AI-generated voices, sleep content, and audience behavior 52:00 AI for ads, scripts, show notes, social, and workflows 53:00 AI podcast networks and automated show creation 54:00 Agentic workflows and creator production systems 56:00 AI-generated content, humanity, and audience trust 57:00 Algorithms, AI interfaces, and future discovery 58:00 Platform algorithm changes and creator risk 59:00 Human connection, live events, and AI video podcasts 01:00:00 Why human storytelling still matters 01:01:00 Could creators build AI clones of themselves? 01:02:00 Avatars, HeyGen, Gemini, and disclosure 01:03:00 Human-hosted content labels and AI transparency 01:04:00 Video-first creators and separate audio/video feeds 01:05:00 Why The New Media Show still uses separate audio and video feeds 01:06:00 Audio-first creators, social media, and growth challenges 01:07:00 Different networks play different games 01:08:00 The future of compelling audio experiences 01:09:00 Spatial audio, AI audio, and interactive media 01:10:00 Personalized audience experiences and liquid content 01:11:00 Can audiences be moved from YouTube to Netflix? 01:12:00 Bundling, subscriptions, and platform experiments 01:15:00 Algorithms vs human curation 01:16:00 Netflix, FAST channels, and new distribution models 01:17:00 The technology challenge behind FAST channels 01:23:00 Greg's Tesla and the future of in-car video podcast listening 01:24:00 RSS.com, Podcasting 2.0, and AI labeling standards 01:25:00 Closing thoughts and where podcasting is heading Guest and Host Links Guest: Greg Wasserman Head of Relationships at RSS.com and host of Podcast Network Insights RSS.com: https://rss.com Greg Wasserman at RSS.com: https://rss.com/blog/greg-wasserman/ Podcast Network Insights: https://rss.com/podcasts/podcast-network-insights/ Greg Wasserman on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregwasserman Host: Rob Greenlee New Media Show: https://newmediashow.com Rob Greenlee: https://robgreenlee.com Podcast Hall of Fame: https://podcasthall.com Rob Greenlee on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robgreenlee Rob Greenlee Booking: https://calendly.com/robgreenlee About the Host/Author: Rob Greenlee is a 2017 Podcast Hall of Fame inductee and Chair, a global new-media leader who bridges podcasting's human roots and its AI-driven future.

Email: bidemiologunde@gmail.comIn this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde examines how content creation is reshaping public life in restaurants, gyms, malls, tourist districts, and other shared spaces. When does filming become intrusion? Who gets to consent when strangers, workers, children, or vulnerable people appear in the background? How should creators balance creativity, monetization, privacy, and basic public etiquette? This episode explores the social pressure to document everything, the risks of turning everyday life into monetizable content, and the new rules of consideration needed in a camera-saturated world.

Podcasting 2.0 June 5th 2026 Episode 262 - "Podcleanse" Dave and Adam are joined by John Spurlock and throw a big idea into the boardroom: The Podcast Data Collective Shownotes ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- John Spurlock - Guest The man behind op3.dev and Livewire.io - From the Great State of New Jersey! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 01 - THE IMPRESSION HEIST — AMP TASK FORCE RATIFIES 4 EXPOSURE DEFINITIONS, NO DISSENTING VOTES Podnews press release Jun 4: AMP Task Force Introduces Cross-Platform Alternative to the Podcast "Download" — "unified impression guidance for audio and video, advancing impression-based measurement as the medium's primary transaction currency." Four exposure definitions ratified. JS Jun 4 quote: "the AMP Task Force ratified a new framework with four exposure definitions, with no dissenting votes." Podcast Play: 30 seconds of content played, audio or video, once per user per session. Podcast Audience: The number of unique users who had a Podcast Play. Ad Impression: A commercial begins playing for the user. Ad Audience: The number of users exposed to an Ad Impression. They wanted to 'hasten the demand' Backstory: AMP first emerged May 29 (Podnews) — same day PC20-261 aired — "to confront podcasting's measurement dilemma." @dave reaction Jun 4 16:12: "RE: [Podnews AMP story] More secretive, back room podcast 'industry' nonsense." PNWR Jun 5 confirms the cabal-composition critique — James and Sam open the show debating AMP. James: "they also want to define what an impression is" + "we don't have a definition of podcast." Sam: "I don't think podcasting is [defined], we can measure consumption." PNWR catches the gaps [0:09:00-0:09:30]: "Spotify yes, Acast no, Art19 missing… Apple is already doing that. Apple is already being cut [out]." Same observation @dave made — who's in the room and who isn't. @js replies @dave on AMP Jun 4: "@dave Dave there were no dissenting votes" — Mastodon-thread confirmation that JS + Dave are on the same page about the consensus-by-cabal red flag. Discussion: V4V counter-thesis — No Agenda is value-for-value (no impressions, no exposures). Open standards vs industry cabals. PNWR is independent-podcaster-aligned; AMP is platform-aligned. Podnews AMP Jun 4 press release Podnews AMP origin May 29 @dave Jun 4 reaction post JS Jun 4 quote post PNWR this week (Pod News Weekly Review) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 02 - THE OPEN COUNTERPART — PODCAST INDEX ISSUE #775 (PNWR + @DAVE BOTH ON IT) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 03 - THE WHY BEHIND IMPRESSIONS — "THE FIRST FOUR AND A HALF MINUTES" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 04 - THE PODCASTING 2.0 DATA COLLECTIVE — THE OPEN ANSWER TO AMP The Podcasting 2.0 Data Collective — the open, V4V-aligned answer to the AMP cabal. Not a consortium with ratified definitions and trade-press releases. A collective of open tools and honest sentinels: OP3 for analytics, Podverse + newpodcasts.net for corpus data, Podcast Index for the namespace, Issue #775 for client identification done right. Matthew 5:6 (KJV): "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled." The verse that frames the work. Open data, transparent measurement, value-for-value — righteousness in podcast governance. Those who hunger for it are the ones who'll be filled. The AMP cabal trades righteousness for an ad-tech seat at the table; the Data Collective just keeps the lights on. THE CHARTER — Adam's working document, June 5 2026 We hold more power than we give ourselves credit for. Definition of a Podcast: Syndicated delivery of media files with precise consumption data for all stakeholders. What we brought in (the Podcasting 2.0 namespace contributions): Transcripts Chapters Funding (V4V) Person Location …etc. Statistical relevance: Advertising is based on percentages. Collectively we have about 10% of all apps — statistically enough to be relevant. Godcaster app tracing proves we can measure important metrics. Data to aggregate and display: Follows Plays per episode Completion rate by time Strategy: Become the authoritative source by publishing open stats Monetize We will not be loved initially by the industry, because we will have the truth. Advertisers will love us though, as will Podcasters. Monetization: Data subscriptions Resellers (DJL) Ad Networks Podcasters themselves (consideration) Podcast Index has built the trust needed to house this data. We already have a data exchange relationship with the apps. op3.dev is critical in this equation to offset the old system for correlation. OP3 full podcast support landed this week [PNWR 1:53:00-1:54:30] — OP3.dev now has full episode-level + show-level analytics support for podcasts. Spec work also moving on private feeds (insecure feeds spec). Direct relevance to V4V infrastructure. @dave → @james Jun 5 11:50: "Do you have the daily lists that show up on newpodcasts.net available anywhere as a download? I'd love the full, historical list of feed urls that have appeared there if possible." Open-data request — corpus curation theme. @dave → @mitch May 30: "Would you be able to send me a flat list of all the feed urls in Podverse which have more than X number of subscribers/followers? Let's say more than 5?" Podverse data request — corpus quality. Anchor FM RSS restoration request — Fri 11:01 email to NA inbox (Lusso Lets). Listener can't retrieve feed data from Podcast Index. Adjacent infra beat — the unsung user-facing pain of corpus indexing. Discussion: corpus curation as a steady-state job (Dave's sentinel work) vs measurement standards (the AMP cabal) — which one keeps the ecosystem honest? The Data Collective doesn't ratify, it just shows up to maintain. Hunger and thirst. They shall be filled.

Jubilee Media founder and CEO Jason Y Lee joins Next in Media to break down how the digital-first studio builds scalable, format-driven IP that captures Gen Z's massive attention span without relying on a single face. Discover the monetization strategies behind their unscripted content, why creators are turning down Hollywood, and how authentic human conversation is outperforming AI in the modern creator economy. Key Takeaways: The Creator Economy Flip: Top digital creators no longer view Hollywood as the ultimate graduation point, reversing the media power dynamic as traditional studios now seek out digital-first strategies to survive. The Attention Span Myth: Massive engagement metrics on 90-minute videos prove that younger audiences aren't suffering from short attention spans; they are simply starving for unscripted, long-form authenticity. Format Over Face: Designing repeatable, host-agnostic IP rather than relying on a single charismatic personality eliminates key-person risk and unlocks true operational scalability for digital studios. Contextual Brand Storytelling: The next frontier of monetization rejects one-off, disruptive advertisements in favor of naturally embedding brands into existing, high-performing video franchises. The Anti-Echo Chamber Demand: Algorithms have hyper-fragmented public discourse, creating a massive, untapped market of viewers who actively seek out raw, multi-perspective content to escape their own echo chambers. The TV Screen Takeover: Digital-first production must now default to cinema-grade standards like 4K, as YouTube's massive growth on connected televisions blends the boundary between streaming networks and independent creators. The Human Premium in an AI Era: As artificial intelligence commoditizes automated content creation, media companies that double down on raw, real-life human connection will hold the ultimate competitive advantage. IP Upcycling and Windowing: Legacy distribution strategies like FAST channels and AVOD licensing represent the most lucrative secondary revenue streams for creators sitting on deep libraries of episodic content.

Keach Hagey addresses the development of ChatGPT and the subsequent power struggle at OpenAI. She explains how Altman's shift from prioritizing AI regulation to commercial monetization triggered a conflict with the nonprofit board, leading to his temporary firing. The board cited management issues and Altman's tendency to "bend the truth" as reasons for the dismissal. Additionally, a major falling out occurred with Elon Musk, who unsuccessfully attempted to take control of OpenAI or merge it with Tesla. The interview concludes with unresolved warnings from AI pioneers regarding the existential dangers of AGI. (4/4)MQY 1956

In this episode, Travis Chappell and his producer, Eric, break down the real-world pros and cons of different creator monetization methods. From sponsorships and coaching to affiliate marketing and live events, Travis shares candid insights from years of building content businesses, working with clients, and growing revenue streams online. The conversation blends humor with practical advice for creators trying to decide where to focus their time and energy in today's digital landscape. On this episode we talk about: Why sponsorships and brand deals are still one of the best monetization methods for creators The hidden downside of launching merch too early without a large audience How one-on-one coaching helps creators build scalable offers and frameworks Why communities and memberships are becoming increasingly valuable The difference between sponsorship ads and programmatic podcast advertising How affiliate marketing can sharpen valuable business and traffic-generation skills Why live events and in-person experiences may become even more important in the AI era The growing shift back toward analog habits, physical media, and human connection How creators should think about audience size before choosing monetization strategies Why digital products are still effective, even as AI makes information more accessible Top Quotes: “High ticket is better than low ticket when you're starting online.” “You can't fix who you are while staying in the environment that created you.” “If you have the impressions and can sell sponsorships, it's basically mailbox money.” “We're all still human, and we still crave in-person connection.” “Affiliate marketing teaches you how to get traffic and sell before you take on business risk.”Connect with Travis Chappell: Instagram: @travischappell Other: https://travischappell.com A Word from Our Sponsors: Are you ready to start your own creator journey and make it big?

Kristen Wager introduces a new method of monetizing recipes called Recifix and shows us how to build a more stable and diversified food blog business in the face of AI and traffic volatility.   Kristen is a PhD-trained consumer insights leader with deep expertise in the creator economy. Over the past decade, she's led research initiatives at Kellogg's Company supporting top CPG brands like Special K, Cheez-It, and Morning Star. Most recently she built research programs for the top 100 food creators at Raptive where she gained firsthand insight into the food creator ecosystem and the challenges creators face. That experience led her to create Recifix - a cleaner, calmer way to find, plan, and share ad-free recipes, all while supporting the creators behind them.   Relying on Google traffic alone is becoming increasingly risky. This episode explains what is actually changing in search, why AI is accelerating that shift, and how experienced bloggers can build stronger revenue streams that are not dependent on algorithms.   Key Topics Discussed: - Traffic from search is not owned and can disappear without warning. - AI is reducing clicks by delivering answers without sending users to blogs. - Real diversification means adding new revenue streams not just new platforms. - Email lists and direct audience relationships protect your business. - Subscription based models create compounding and recurring income. - Trust with your audience is your strongest long term competitive advantage.   Connect with Dr. Kristen Wager Website | Instagram Recifix - kristen@recifix.com
