Podcasts about quick thoughts

In this episode join Isaiah as he reacts and breakdown Game 4 NBA Finals, as the Spurs choke away an 29-point lead and the Knicks complete the greatest comeback in NBA Finals history.

This week on America's podcast, we dive into a band that inspired a whole generation of punk, pop-punk, and “I swear I can still fit into my old leather jacket” bands — Social Distortion and their classic album Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell. It's just the Three Amigos on this episode — brothers in podcasting and brothers in surviving questionable music takes. No family members this week… so things might actually stay on track for once. Will this album send us straight to heaven, or will it be pure hell on the ears? No spoilers… but somebody may need emotional support hairspray by the end of the show.

Notes to come

A short podcast with JTE and April Dawn to discuss the two Horror films Backrooms and Obsession and what their success means both on and off the screen. 

Recently, the first Star Wars film in nearly 7 years was released in theaters. As you can expect, I saw it on opening night, and I wanted to take some time to share a few thoughts on the movie. A wild, crazy planet-hopping creature feature, “The Mandalorian and Grogu” is a far cry from the self-serious storytelling the saga has given us recently, and a welcome return to the wackier side of that galaxy far, far away…

Think of Pinterest's home feed like a TV channel.Pinterest's job is to keep people watching. Not just for five minutes today — but coming back tomorrow, next week, next month. So they've spent years building a system that figures out the best mix of content to show each person.Here's what they learned and changed:Variety keeps people watching. Repetition drives them away. They actually tested this. When they showed people more of the same type of content (even stuff the person seemed to like), engagement went up for one day — then tanked. People got bored and left. So Pinterest now actively mixes things up in your feed on purpose, even if you've been saving a lot of one thing.What this means for you: If you're posting a lot of pins that look nearly identical — same image style, same topic, same colors — Pinterest is going to spread them way out or stop showing them altogether. Not because they're bad, but because showing ten of the same thing in a row is bad for the viewer.Pinterest got a lot smarter about what "similar" means. It used to mostly go by topic category (like "home decor" or "recipes"). Now it looks at the actual image, the words in your description, and the topic — all at the same time. So you can't just change the caption and call it a different pin. If it looks the same, Pinterest knows.New pins get evaluated almost instantly now. In the past, a brand new pin might take a while to get "understood" by Pinterest. Now it's nearly immediate. Good news if you're posting fresh, varied content. But it also means a low-quality or repetitive pin gets flagged just as fast.Borderline content doesn't just get removed anymore — it gets quietly pushed down. If a pin doesn't fully meet Pinterest's quality standards, instead of just deleting it, they now space it way out in feeds so it rarely shows up. It's still there, but it's basically invisible.The big takeaway: Pinterest is rewarding accounts that post a good variety of content consistently over time. Not flooding the platform with 50 nearly-identical pins. Think of it like setting a dinner table — you want a mix of things, not the same dish in every spot.—-------Here are some helpful links from the podcast:Medium Article

This week on America's Podcast, we dive into a band that somehow gets more side-eye than a gas station sushi tray—and honestly, we're not having it. We're talking about Extreme and their long-awaited album Six. A ridiculously talented band with a killer vocalist and a guitarist who could probably outplay your Wi-Fi connection on a bad day. We're reviewing Six, the album that took 15 YEARS to make (seriously… that's longer than some bands stay together). Was it worth the wait? Did it rise to the occasion, or does it make you want to hit “X” faster than a pop-up ad from the early internet days? No spoilers—but let's just say, things get interesting. We also bring in members of the Free Form family—Al Horta and Tim Durling—because nothing says quality control like people who will absolutely call you out mid-review and still ask what's for dinner after.

I shared this with a friend recently and thought, why don't I share it here. Pinterest is now calling itself an AI-powered search platform with an emphasis on shopping. No doubt you've seen more and more products in your feed. But not all products get the same exposure or sales. So here's what we've seen within our agency that might help you gauge how much emphasis to put on growth when it comes to Pinterest marketing.—-------Here are some helpful links from the podcast:

Billy C gives his quick thoughts on the upcoming David Benavidez vs. Gilberto Ramirez showdown!

My two guiding principles right now in business – where is the money flowing and where do people need transformational wins – big or small. I started out in 2010 with Facebook and the boom of affiliates. Coupon clicks, prints, and it basically feeling like the wild wild west of the internet. The joke in the 2010's is you could basically print money. A lot of people got rich off courses, affiliates, and the easy money. It's harder now. Algorithms, discovery is more difficult and neither ads nor organic work 100% of the time. You have to stay curious, open to new pathways, and agile. That's tough in this market when you're burned out. I was on threads the other day, and the amount of posts from people feeling like they couldn't do one more thing was abundant. It made me sad. I've been there before and in that season, and only one thing helped me. What's the one thing I can do right now (big or small) that will put me in the path of the money flow and support people with wins? Sometimes that meant writing an email to those in a particular industry. Sometimes it meant connecting with someone. Sometimes it meant creating a new Pinterest image for a post. Other times it meant sitting back to do a little dreaming. Leaving my consistent workplace for a coffee shop, corner of a hotel lobby, or something different to jog ideas. Q2 is tough on Pinterest. It feels like there is no movement. If you're in the US, you just paid a crap ton of taxes, and you're feeling the itch of summer, but it's not quite there yet. I would leave you with one question today – what's one thing that you can do to position yourself in the flow of commerce within your industry and connect with someone or a group of people that just need help and support. —-------Here are some helpful links from the podcast:

Hour 4 in full

I'm embarking on a new adventure building a new site (in an ethical way) to help my husband share about his horrible habit of smoking cigars. And can I leverage Pinterest and a newsletter for growth. There are lots of challenges and assumptions I have for myself so I'm going into this with eyes wide open. —-------Here are some helpful links from the podcast:

Someone said to me recently that I might be putting on a happy face but Pinterest is going down. First, I would say, that might be a fair assessment as I always like to see the good. AND I have an entire community following me to understand how to view and navigate the platform. I take that very seriously so making sure i”m neither overly optimistic nor pessimistic. Let me address where I'm at. I think Pinterest has changed drastically in 2026 and I've not been shy about saying that. Maybe some people haven't heard me mention it but I did a webinar last month where I talked about what was the same and what was different. I think slop has invaded the platform and while Pinterest has made some attempts, it's not enough yet. That's hard to watch. Users still like the platform but some are becoming more exhausted with it daily. It's shifted more to products and for some of our product sellers they are crushing it – both organic and paid ads. We had a 90 ROAS on one of our ads clients campaigns. That's incredible. Elliot Investments just put $1 billion into Pinterest which makes me a little nervous. If you've watched the massive changes on Southwest airlines and wondered who made those changes, look no further than Elliot. They won't do anything sudden but it's something to watch for sure over the next 2 years. Where does this leave content creators? In a tough spot. But do I think all hope is lost? No. But I do think each business owner has to benchmark their goals, progress, time, and investment just like they would any other platform. I think the entire internet has had a massive overhaul since 2022 when Chat GPT was introduced and we're all still trying to figure it out. My team and I are talking daily about trying new things. We're investigating, testing, going deep on Reddit threads, looking for articles and working to make the platform work for our clients in the best way we can. Do we nail it every time? Certainly not and I will be the first to say that it's so frustrating to not be able to win for our clients. We care about their businesses just like we care about SPM. To those who want my deep thoughts on Pinterest, thoughtful discussions, and to be with other business owners who are troubleshooting Pinterest where it's at, join me in SPM insiders. This group has incredible ideas and we're all committed to finding ways to make it work. Just $9/month and you get a call with me monthly. I think it's worth testing it out just for 1 month to see that I'm not all sunshine and roses about Pinterest all the time. —-------Here are some helpful links from the podcast:

Where is Pinterest going and how does it serve creators as their founding business adopters? Our team has actively been investing in e-commerce sellers, as Pinterest has given us signals since 2022 that it is headed in that direction. From the hiring of Bill Ready from PayPal and Venmo and his stacking of the C-suite team with other e-commerce-forward C-suite leaders, the writing was on the wall. But that leaves the big question of where do creators fit into all of this. Do people on Pinterest still find them discoverable? Lately, I've been playing around on Pinterest more as a user. Just to see what is coming up for me. Of course, the AI slop which is all around the internet, but products are definitely something that comes up strong the moment I give the algorithm any signal that I like.I'm going to Spain in the fall for my 50th birthday. We're spending 2 weeks exploring the country with friends and I cannot wait. I've already started looking at clothes and new swimsuits. The moment I clicked on a suit, my feed was flooded with resortware and more swim. It was hard to find content. But now I''m searching for tips on Spain and it's back. That being said, search is still alive and well. In fact, Pinterest in the Q4 2025 investor report, said they have more searches than Chat GPT. That's impressive. Also, users grew to 614 million. But something lacked in their report and caused the stock to dip – advertisers impacted by strong headwinds due to tariffs. Those were their words, not mine. What does that mean then? E-commerce sellers on a large scale - think Target and Walmart- were hit hard and pulled back advertising dollars.Queue a new C-suite member who is specifically targeting small and mid-size businesses for advertising. Those who are selling products are PRIME for spending money on Pinterest Ads. Our clients prove this out with our e-commerce sellers having some of the highest ROI in Q4 of 2025. Last, I'll say this. We're leaning into experimenting with Substack and how to leverage Pinterest for growth of subscribers. We have two accounts running the experiment now and they are eager to prove out this model by going through our accelerator model first and then transitioning into ads. Our team is so curious and excited. Is Pinterest dead in 2026? A question I've been asked every year. I don't think so but the old models aren't work. It's time to think differently and creatively. —-------Here are some helpful links from the podcast:

In thinking through the best Pinterest strategy, I'm going in with blinders on. What can I learn from my data, my clicks, my saves, my images, my keywords? If I really sat with that, it would go counter to what the online world has trained me to do. Look at what other people are doing, who has the right answer, and how can I follow their rules.

In episode 207 of Film Focus, I discuss the recent sneak peek of the upcoming Street Fighter film. I've been very curious about this adaptation from the moment it was announced, through the change of directors, to the official cast reports. The reception surrounding this film has been quite mixed, and with the release of the official character posters and teaser footage, the online conversation has remained divided, with some embracing the madness, while others believe it to be rather poor. For me, I keep an open mind and am very interested to see how it turns out. In this episode, I share my loose thoughts on the teaser, from my positives to my concerns.
