Podcasts about Rox

In Episode 674 of the New Media Show, Podcast Hall of Fame Host Rob Greenlee welcomes Rox Codes, CEO and co-founder of Flightcast.com.  For a deep conversation about video-first podcasting, YouTube growth, AI-powered analytics, creator tools, and where podcast publishing is heading next. Rox Codes has spent years building tools for creators, including YouTube optimization, thumbnail and title creation, A/B testing, and creator growth systems. Flightcast was co-founded with Steven Bartlett of The Diary of a CEO. Rox is building a platform centered on a core shift in the market: serious shows are no longer just audio-first with a bonus video version. Many of the fastest-moving creators now think about YouTube first, then audio, clips, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, newsletters, social platforms, and every other surface where the audience may discover the show. Has video-first podcasting fully arrived, and is it now equal to audio, or is it becoming even more important for growth? Rox explains that Flightcast came from a very different starting point than traditional podcast hosting. Instead of beginning with RSS, downloads, and audio workflow, the platform was built from a YouTube creator mindset.  YouTube has long been the clearest growth platform for creators because it combines publishing, discovery, audience development, monetization, and measurable performance into a single system. Podcasting, by contrast, has often separated those pieces across hosting platforms, apps, ad systems, analytics dashboards, and RSS-based distribution. The episode explores why this matters now. A modern show can become a long-form YouTube episode, an audio podcast, Spotify video, Apple video, short-form clips, newsletter content, social posts, community discussion, and brand inventory. Rox describes podcasts as a powerful format because a single strong two-hour conversation can yield many different media assets across multiple platforms. That creates opportunity, but it also creates complexity. They discuss Apple's HLS video support, Spotify video, YouTube, RSS, 4K video, thumbnails in feeds, Netflix, Roku, FAST channels, Prime Video, and the growing need for creators to publish into more places without needing to understand every technical layer underneath. Rox argues that creators should not have to care about acronyms like HLS, VAST, RSS, or 301 redirects unless the technology directly affects their business. The software should handle the complexity so creators can focus on the show, the audience, and the growth strategy. A major theme of the episode is that video success is not just about uploading an MP4 file. Rox makes a strong case that the real shift is in mindset. On YouTube, titles, thumbnails, intros, pacing, retention, curiosity gaps, promise, progress, payoff, packaging, and audience behavior all matter. Podcasting has historically treated episode art and titles as secondary. YouTube treats them as the front door to the content. Rob and Rox spend significant time on thumbnails and titles, including why creators need to understand the psychology behind a click without reducing the work to empty clickbait. Rox explains that a thumbnail should create a question the viewer wants answered, while the episode itself must deliver enough value to earn attention and retention. The best creators do not copy blindly. They study what works, understand why it works, and apply that structure in their own voice, to their audience, and through their creative point of view. The conversation also moves into AI. Rox does not describe Flightcast as an AI-first platform, but AI is an important layer inside the system. He sees major value in AI analytics, back-catalog analysis, clip testing, title suggestions, descriptions, chapters, transcripts, and pattern recognition. His larger ambition is to bake more of the YouTube strategist and producer mindset directly into the software so creators can see what is working, what is not working, and where new growth opportunities may exist. Rob and Rox also discuss monetization. As video moves deeper into podcast platforms, host-read ads, dynamic ad insertion, video ad formats, brand partnerships, affiliate models, and creator-controlled advertising may begin to converge. Rox explains Flightcast's ability to support programmatic, dynamic sponsorships and bring-your-own-programmatic monetization, while keeping the platform focused on growth and creator support rather than solely on ad sales. The episode closes with a look at the future of podcast hosting itself. Rox argues that basic hosting has become a commodity. The next layer is growth, analytics, experimentation, distribution, monetization support, and creator intelligence. In a world where AI can make software easier to build and copy, the real advantage may come from insight, speed, taste, data interpretation, and the ability to help serious creators make better decisions faster. For creators, publishers, networks, and podcast platforms, Episode 674 is a clear look at the next stage of podcasting: video-first, data-aware, AI-supported, YouTube-influenced, and increasingly built around shows that can travel everywhere.

Nog geen tweede sprintzege voor Olav Kooij in de Tour de France. De Nederlander raakte in de zevende etappe ingesloten en hield de benen stil. Vanaf de 23ste stek zag hij hoe Tim Merlier won in Bordeaux. In een nieuwe aflevering van In Het Wiel blikken we terug. Niek Goedvolk heeft het met Roxane Knetemann en wielerverslaggever Daniël Dwarswaard over de 'boksende' Merlier, het gokken van Kooij en de vorm van Jasper Philipsen. Het Moment van Rox gaat over de lead-out van Jasper Stuyven, die daarmee een belangrijk aandeel had in de ritzege. Verder komt Alpecin aan bod. De ploeg van Mathieu van der Poel (en Philipsen) is gewend om vroeg in een grote ronde al meteen te winnen. Nu staat de teller nog even op nul. Hoe gaan ze daarmee om? En waarom hebben we Van der Poel tot nu toe nog zo weinig gezien? Je hoort het hier!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Shriram Sridharan is the Co-founder and CTO of Rox, an AI-first revenue operating system that helps enterprise sales teams research accounts, automate workflows, and act on timely customer insights. He helps lead the company's product and technical strategy, building AI agents that make sales processes more focused, efficient, and repeatable. Before Rox, Shriram held engineering leadership roles at Confluent and Amazon Web Services, where he worked on scalable data and cloud infrastructure. His work focuses on using AI to turn complex revenue operations into practical systems that help teams win. In this episode… Enterprise sales can do more than track leads and manage deals — it can surface the right signals, automate repetitive work, and give teams more time to build customer relationships. But what separates a sales team using AI as another tool from one using AI agents to actually move revenue forward? Shriram Sridharan, a technical leader who has built large-scale systems at AWS and Confluent, says the key is using revenue agents to automate or augment the entire revenue lifecycle. He highlights the importance of connecting customer data, public signals, and internal workflows so AI can handle account research, meeting preparation, outbound personalization, and RFP detection. Instead of forcing account executives to switch between tools or spend hours on manual research, Shriram explains how agents can deliver the work behind the scenes with a human in the loop. The result is a more focused sales organization where teams spend less time on grunt work and more time generating pipeline, preventing churn, and growing revenue. In this episode of the Inspired Insider Podcast, Dr. Jeremy Weisz sits down with Shriram Sridharan, Co-founder and CTO of Rox, to discuss how revenue agents are reshaping enterprise sales. Shriram breaks down AI agent orchestration, sales signals, data warehouses, outbound automation, and RFP detection. He also shares his founder journey and key influences.

Bijna oneerlijk was het vandaag in de Tour. De drie sterkste renners uit de kopgroep reden allemaal voor dezelfde ploeg: Lidl-Trek. Mads Pedersen hoefde het alleen nog af te maken en deed dat met fietslengtes voorsprong. In deze aflevering van In Het Wiel hebben we het over die masterclass. Niek Goedvolk bespreekt het tactisch plan van Lidl-Trek met Roxane Knetemann en wielerverslaggever Marijn Abbenhuijs. Waarom wilde de ploeg per se met Pedersen winnen? Was de situatie met ploeggenoot Mathias Vacek voorop niet misschien nog beter? En we blikken uitgebreid vooruit op de eerste massasprint van deze Tour. Woensdag neemt Olav Kooij het in Pau op tegen onder meer Jasper Philipsen en Tim Merlier. Marijn en Rox leggen uit waarom de Nederlander misschien wel topfavoriet is.

Dit keer geen cadeaus, maar Tadej Pogacar die gewoon zelf wilde winnen. In een etappe die we op voorhand aan de vluchters toeschreven, besloot de wereldkampioen halverwege toch maar zijn ploeg op kop te zetten. Met succes, want hij won overtuigend en nam als bonus het geel over van Jonas Vingegaard. Waarom wilde de Sloveen zo graag voor die paar seconden rijden? Zou hij zichzelf en zijn ploeg niet beter kunnen sparen voor het echte zware werk? Niek Goedvolk vraagt het in een nieuwe aflevering van In Het Wiel aan Roxane Knetemann en wielerverslaggever Daniël Dwarswaard. En wat zegt het dat Vingegaard al vrijwel meteen achterom zat te kijken? Het Moment van Rox gaat deze keer over Arnaud de Lie. De Belg begon al niet fit aan de Tour de France en reed sindsdien op grote achterstand achter het peloton aan. Vandaag kneep hij dan toch in de remmen, al had hij anders de tijdslimiet ook niet gehaald. Waarom blijft zijn ploeg hem zo uitwringen? We bespreken het in deze In Het Wiel.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dankzij een geweldige teamprestatie van Visma-Lease a Bike in de ploegentijdrit nieuwe stijl is Jonas Vingegaard de eerste drager van de gele trui. Hij begint de Tour met twaalf seconden voorsprong op Tadej Pogacar. In een nieuwe aflevering van In Het Wiel blikt Niek Goedvolk terug met Roxane Knetemann en wielerverslaggever Daniël Dwarswaard. Wat deed Visma zo goed vandaag? Welke tactiek viel het meest op? En waarom is dit toch zo'n lekker format? Verder zijn we vooral blij dat de Tour de France eindelijk begonnen is. Rox kreeg er een verliefd gevoel van en Daniël duidt de chaos aan de streep in Barcelona. Luisteren maar!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Onze derde en laatste voorbeschouwing op de Tour de France staat volledig in het teken van de ploegentijdrit nieuwe stijl. Niek Goedvolk bespreekt met ervaringsdeskundige Roxane Knetemann en wielerprofessor Marijn Abbenhuijs welke tactieken en scenario's we zaterdag kunnen verwachten. Heeft Paul Seixas na de beklimming van de Montjuïc nog een ploeggenoot aan zijn zijde? Gaan Remco Evenepoel en Florian Lipowitz samen finishen? En wie kan Netcompany-Ineos verslaan? Je hoort het in een nieuwe aflevering van In Het Wiel, waarin Rox en Marijn ook vertellen over hun eigen ervaringen met de ploegentijdrit.

Building Customer Loyalty Through Experience and Community  Shep interviews Sujay Saha, founder and CEO of Cortico-X. He talks about how aligning customer experience with pricing and expectations drives value.  This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more:    What is return on experience (ROX) and how can businesses measure it?  How can businesses match customer expectations to pricing?  How does blending creativity and data improve customer service strategies?  What steps can companies take to minimize friction in the customer journey?  How does building customer communities foster brand loyalty?  Top Takeaways:    The higher the price, the higher the expectation. However, this does not automatically mean more products or more features. To create amazing experiences that provide value, brands need to understand what truly matters to their customers.   Every customer looks for a specific kind of value, whether it is convenience, quality, community, or something else. Understand the value that your customers are looking for and design your experiences to meet (or even exceed) these expectations.  Memorable experiences are not always expensive. They are often simple, timely, or personal. Offering a free car cleaning service at an auto repair shop or designing a seamless airline boarding system can add extra value to customer interactions.  Customers love connecting with others who share their experience. By cultivating communities, brands can provide memorable, shareable experiences that create loyalty and a sense of belongingness.  Customers don't just compare you to similar businesses. They compare you to the best experiences they have ever had, regardless of industry, product, or price point. The real competition is every amazing experience.  The return on experience (ROX) should be both actionable and accountable. Leaders must examine the root drivers behind customer experiences and use them as a guide on where to direct their investments.

Jules and Rox are back for a raw, unplanned catch-up episode — and honestly? Those are always the best ones.They kick things off with a little surprise gift exchange, then dive headfirst into life updates: Jules opens up about navigating "dark goddess energy" before her period, discovering she has low iron, and the spiral of comparing herself to others when her inner critic gets loud.Rox shares attending the memorial of a school peer who passed away suddenly — and how sitting with grief, reconnecting with old faces, and reflecting on the fragility of life led to some unexpected clarity. She also talks about a game-changing discovery for mums: crèche gyms, and why 60 minutes to yourself might just be the most radical act of self-care when you have a baby.This one's for anyone navigating the messy, beautiful in-between of just living.

Een nieuwe In Het Wiel over de knotsgekke apotheose in de Giro d'Italia voor vrouwen. Demi Vollering reed Anna van der Breggen in een laatste etappe vol plottwists tóch nog uit de roze trui. In deze aflevering heeft Niek Goedvolk het met Roxane Knetemann en wielerverslaggever Daniël Dwarswaard over die gigantische coup. En onderweg leek het er zelfs nog even op dat er helemaal geen Nederlandse eindwinnaar zou komen. Hoe konden Vollering en met name Van der Breggen zomaar twee minuten cadeau doen aan Antonia Niedermaier? Uiteindelijk lukte het Vollering om op de laatste beklimming van Van der Breggen af te komen. Rox legt uit waarom de plek waar ze ging perfect gekozen was en waarom de roze trui daar geen antwoord meer op had. Luisteren maar! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Demi Vollering boekte haar eerste etappezege ooit in de Giro d'Italia Women. Onderweg kreeg ze haar concurrenten niet los, maar in de sprint was de Europees kampioene oppermachtig. Dankzij bonificatieseconden liep ze tien seconden in op Anna van der Breggen in het algemeen klassement, al bedraagt het verschil nog altijd een minuut. Hoe goed was Vollering nu echt? Dat bespreekt Niek Goedvolk met Roxane Knetemann in een nieuwe aflevering van In Het Wiel. Want hoewel Vollering won, slaagde ze er niet in Van der Breggen en Antonia Niedermaier bergop te lossen. Wat zegt dat met het oog op de Finestre van zaterdag? Ook blikken Niek en Rox terug op de indrukwekkende tijdrit van dinsdag, waarin Van der Breggen ruim een minuut pakte op de concurrentie. Roxane keek met open mond toe en appte haar oud-ploeggenoot direct na afloop: 'Dit wil ik ook weer!' In de podcast legt ze uit waarom die prestatie zo bijzonder was.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

 For the second hour of Stokely and Evans with Mark Schlereth, they speculate which golfers that Stoke will be paired up with at the Pro Am. They recap a comeback win for the Rockies. Mike wonders if the Broncos did enough to stay in the Super Bowl conversation after all of yesterday’s blockbuster trades. The guys see the Rams, a Kroenke-owned team, going all-in on them and they wonder if they’ll follow suit for the Nuggets. Mike and Stink discuss Russ’ legacy in Denver now that it appears he’s hung up his cleats. What’s Trending? A rare Rox win, two big trades that affect the Broncos, Jamal Murray says “No” to Canada, Dan Campbell hates pajama parties, Lamar stans, and the beginning of the Stanley Cup Finals.  

Het kan niet op voor Visma-Lease a Bike. Na vier keer Jonas Vingegaard, was het vandaag Sepp Kuss die de koninginnenrit van deze Giro d'Italia won. De Amerikaan voltooide daarmee ook nog eens zijn trilogie van ritzeges in grote rondes. Daarachter kende Thymen Arensman een minder goede dag. De Nederlander moest lossen bij zijn concurrenten en kukelde daardoor van het virtuele podium. In een nieuwe In Het Wiel heeft Niek Goedvolk het met Roxane Knetemann en wielerverslaggever Daniël Dwarswaard over Visma, Kuss en Arensman, maar ook over Giulio Ciccone. Wat was de Italiaan allemaal aan het doen? En heeft de teamleiding van Lidl-Trek nog wel grip op hem? Teamgenoot Derek Gee-West zat uiteindelijk 'gevangen' in de groep achter hem en verloor daarvoor belangrijke secondes in de jacht op het podium. Rox en Daniël halen in deze aflevering uit naar de 'egoïstische' Ciccone. Luisteren maar!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Een daverende verrassing in de vijftiende etappe van de Giro d'Italia. De op voorhand zeker lijkende massasprint kwam er niet, maar de vroege vlucht hield het tot op de streep stand. De Noor Fredrik Dversnes was uiteindelijk de sterkste van het viertal vooraan. Hoe kan het dat de sprintersploegen zich zo misrekenden in Milaan? Niek Goedvolk bespreekt het in een nieuwe aflevering van In Het Wiel met Roxane Knetemann en Daniël Dwarswaard. Dylan Groenewegen heeft nu nog maar één kans op succes deze Giro: op de slotdag in Rome. Verder hebben we het over Jardi van der Lee, die vandaag voor het eerst de blauwe trui mocht aantrekken. Hij komt uit het e-racen, trapte daar enorme wattages en maakte zo heel snel de stap naar de WorldTour. Deze weken laat hij zich voor het eerst écht zien aan het grote publiek. Rox en Daniël zijn lyrisch. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

S6E17 - Er is een nieuw duo geboren voor feesten en partijen! Ging hartstikke goed samen met Rox, dus die zenuwen had je niet hoeven wegdrinken, Mo. Was trouwens ook beter geweest voor het energy level van vandaag. Kaj & Jess zijn vooral aan het aftellen tot Gorgels numero 2 zich laat zien. Hoe gaat ie eigenlijk heten? Hallelujah?

0:00 - David Adelman said he doesn't want to "crush" his guys after losses, even thought that's what the media/fans want him to do. We don't need him to go full Bobby Knight on his locker. But hold your guys accountable! Get them fired up! Let's go! What's wrong with tough love if you guys are receptive to it?14:02 - Are the...Rox good again? You know who's definitely good? Sugano. Man, he's been wheelin' and dealin' all season long. Now that we've had a day or so to process Bo Nix AnkleGate 2.0, do we feel any different? All the internet "medical professionals" were offering their analysis of it all on Twitter last night, so make of that what you will. 32:45 - Oh, by the way...Marc Rycroft was in an episode of Breaking Bad! Seriously! Oh, by the way...The Saudis are pulling all their funding from the LIV Tour. Should the PGA let all those golfers back with open arms? Or should they make them work their way back? Oh, by the way...Erik Johnson was double-fisting cowboy boot margaritas on the ESPN broadcast at the Dallas Stars arena before Game 1. And honestly? It looked awesome.

Learn how to prove customer experience ROI by measuring Return on Experience, customer retention, referrals, earned sales growth, complaints, and loyalty. Summary: Customer experience leaders are facing a new reality: it is no longer enough to say customer experience matters. Executives want proof. In this episode of the Customer Service Revolution Podcast, Denise Thompson and John DiJulius discuss why CX leaders are being asked to connect experience initiatives directly to business outcomes like retention, referrals, loyalty, complaints, customer effort, close ratios, and revenue growth. John explains why customer satisfaction is too low of a bar, why NPS and surveys alone do not tell the full story, and why organizations need a clear Return on Experience dashboard to prove the financial impact of customer experience. He also breaks down why journey mapping often fails, how inconsistency damages brand trust, and why broken handoffs quietly cost companies revenue. The episode gives customer experience leaders a practical way to move from "warm and fuzzy" to measurable, executive-level business impact.   Key Takeaways 1. Customer satisfaction is too low of a bar Satisfied customers are not necessarily loyal. They may simply be customers who were not frustrated enough to complain. Leaders need to measure whether customers are staying, buying again, referring others, and spending more. 2. CX leaders need to prove financial impact Customer experience competes for budget against sales, marketing, IT, AI, and other departments. If CX leaders cannot show measurable business outcomes, they risk being viewed as optional. 3. Return on Experience should be measured clearly A strong ROX dashboard should connect CX efforts to business metrics such as retention, referrals, complaints, close ratios, first-contact resolution, customer effort score, reviews, and average annual spend. 4. Journey mapping fails when it only captures operations Most journey maps focus on standard operating procedures. The real opportunity is adding experiential standards, identifying service defects, improving handoffs, and creating above-and-beyond moments. 5. Inconsistency quietly destroys trust When the customer experience depends on which employee, department, or location a customer reaches, the brand becomes unpredictable. John calls this "employee roulette." 6. Handoffs are where CX is won or lost Customers and employees should not have to restart the relationship every time they move from one person or department to another. Warm handoffs create continuity and trust. 7. Earned sales growth may be one of the best CX metrics Tracking how much revenue comes from repeat customers and referrals gives companies a clearer view of whether the experience is actually driving loyalty and growth.

In the final hour, Dover and Cecil were joined by Will Petersen on what he learned from the Avs at practice today. How did Martin Necas perform in Round 1 against the Kings? The fellas discussed why George Paton hasn't signed an extension with the Broncos yet. The guys recapped last night's Rockies loss to the Reds. Did the Rox strikeout too much? Closing out the show, the fellas heard from Nazem Kadri saying he wishes that Dallas and Minnesota go 8-9 games in their series. 

We wisten dat Paul Seixas goed was, maar na Luik-Bastenaken-Luik bestaat er helemaal geen twijfel meer. Het Franse supertalent was de enige die op La Redoute mee kon in het wiel van wereldkampioen Tadej Pogacar. Een nieuw duel voor de komende jaren lijkt geboren. In een nieuwe aflevering van In Het Wiel kijkt Niek Goedvolk met Roxane Knetemann en wielerverslaggever Daniël Dwarswaard terug op het oudste monument van de wielerkalender. Want als Seixas dit nu al kan, wat kunnen we dan in de toekomst nog meer verwachten? En moet hij dit jaar al naar de Tour de France gestuurd worden door zijn ploeg Decathlon? Bij de vrouwen is er niemand opgewassen tegen Demi Vollering en haar ploeg FDJ-Suez. De Nederlandse is bezig aan misschien wel haar beste jaar met nu al de Omloop, Ronde van Vlaanderen, Waalse Pijl en Luik-Bastenaken-Luik op zak. Ze maakte een bijzondere ontwikkeling door en dat zag onze co-host van dichtbij als ploeggenote bij Parkhotel Valkenburg in 2019. Vollering als eerstejaars prof, Rox als ervaren wegkapitein. Ze vertelt erover in deze podcast.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of the Asian Soup Podcast, Jules and Rox are back with a fun, slightly chaotic chat asking the question… are they basic? From matcha lattes and Crocs to trendy water bottles and journaling, they go through all the things they've probably been influenced by. What starts off as a light, rapid-fire convo turns into a real talk about social media, trends, and figuring out if they actually like something or if they've just seen it one too many times online.Come sit with us for a light catch-up and come judge us... are we basic?

0:00 - Jaden McDaniels called out the Nuggets and their lack of defense. He named names! It's still hard to believe he did that. The Nuggets HAVE to answer the bell tonight. If they lose tonight, that's a wrap on the series. Prove your mental toughness. Take care of business.After that, the Rockies won last night! They're up to 10 wins already! Let's give Brett a couple minutes for some Rox positivity.14:51 - Vic is having trouble focusing on the Avs vs Kings series. Because in his mind, it's already over. There's no way LA wins this series. Plus, we're so caught up in the Nuggets vs Timberwolves series. What happens if Denver loses tonight? What happens if they, god forbid, lose this series? Where do we go from there? 32:26 - Oh, by the way...A Mariners pitcher caught a line drive inside his jersey. And the batter was awarded a base hit. I'm sorry, I thought this was America! That should be a hit. Oh, by the way...get ready to buy a 2nd or 3rd TV in order to watch all the different playoff games across various streaming apps. Oh, by the way...the Cleveland Cavaliers have introduced the most unhinged form of in-arena entertainment we've seen in a long time.

Dover and Cecil opened the show reacting to the Avs getting an OT win over the Kings last night to go up 2-0 in the series. Cecil talked about how much he's liked Scott Wedgewood in net so far in the playoffs. The guys came up with another name that they would love for the Broncos in this weekend's NFL Draft. How well did Chase Dollander pitch last night against the Padres. Do the Rox need to get their bats going at Coors Field? 

We break down the Colorado Rockies surprisingly decent start to the 2026 season after back-to-back wins over the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers. Chase Dollander has his best start in MLB, Mickey Moniak goes off at the plate, and did the Rox win a game because of a successful ABS challenge? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

0:00 - The Nuggets wrapped up the regular season with a casual 12-game win streak. NBD. Give credit to the bench, man. They looked GREAT this weekend. Yesterday, they were playing a Spurs team that actually wanted/needed to win! Sure, Wemby wasn't playing, but the rest of the roster is stacked too! And the Nuggets B Team answered the bell. That's a great sign.14:54 - Rory McIlroy won his second straight Masters. He became the 4th golfer ever to go back-to-back at Augusta. But, he also said he's been practicing at Augusta a lot. He'll drop his daughter off at school, fly a private jet to Augusta, get a few rounds in, head home, then have dinner with his family. Is that an unfair advantage? Should Augusta limit the number of times you can play there before the Masters?Also, Aqib Talib said on his podcast that the Broncos might be making another big move this offseason...keep your eyes peeled on draft night...He was right about them getting another offensive weapon! Could he be right on this one as well?34:10 - Oh, by the way...like 3 seconds after our show wrapped up on Friday, the Walton-Penner Group purchased a 40% minority ownership stake in the Rockies. Woah! What does that mean for the Rox? Oh, by the way...are we really still making golfers manually write down their scores on a scorecard? It's 2026, man. Oh, by the way...Mike Vrabel isn't attending the Patriots pre-draft press conference. Shocker. 

Een emotionele dag op de wielerbaan in Roubaix, waar Wout van Aert eindelijk zijn felbegeerde kasseiklassieker won en Marianne Vos net naast de zege in Parijs-Roubaix greep. En omdat er zoveel gebeurde in beide koersen, zijn we hier met een extra lange aflevering van In Het Wiel. Niek Goedvolk bespreekt met Roxane Knetemann en wielerverslaggever Marijn Abbenhuijs waarom de gewonnen kassei zoveel betekent voor Van Aert en Visma-Lease a Bike. Ook gaan we in op de pech van Mathieu van der Poel en de mislukte fietswissel met Jasper Philipsen. Ook bij de vrouwen werd er gesprint op het Velodrome. Visma deed er alles aan om Vos hier te laten winnen, maar van de ijzersterke Franziska Koch kwamen ze - ondanks beulswerk van Tourwinnares Pauline Ferrand-Prévot - niet af. Rox legt uit wat de Duitse zo goed deed in de sprint. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mathieu van der Poel gaat voor het record van vier op rij, Tadej Pogacar wil zijn bingokaart compleet maken en de Nederlandse vrouwen moeten voor een primeur zorgen: er is heel veel om naar uit te kijken deze zondag bij Parijs-Roubaix. In deze nieuwe aflevering van In Het Wiel blikt Niek Goedvolk met Roxane Knetemann en wielerverslaggever Daniël Dwarswaard vooruit op De Hel van het Noorden. Waarom is over kasseien rijden voor Van der Poel hetzelfde als wat paardrijden voor sommige andere mensen is? Hoe moet Pogacar het aanpakken in jacht op zijn laatste monument? En hoeveel renners willen er in de vroege vlucht zitten? Je hoort het allemaal in deze podcast. Bij de vrouwen is het uitkijken naar de eerste Nederlandse zege ooit in De Helleklassieker. Lorena Wiebes en Marianne Vos horen bij de topfavorieten, maar Rox heeft een heel goed gevoel bij een renster waar ze de afgelopen weken veel contact mee had.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the final hour, Dover and Cecil recapped the Nuggets win over the Spurs. How good was Christian Braun shooting the three-ball? Cecil explained why he still wants more Julian Strawther. How did the Avalanche fall to the Blues last night? The guys heard from Sean Payton saying that a good running game is a way to take pressure off your own QB. Are the Broncos going to draft a RB this year? Closing out the show, the fellas reacted to Michael Malone closing on a deal with North Carolina. Will the Rox beat the Astros tonight? 

Een lekkere zondag met Mathieu van der Poel die nog even een training van 40 kilometer op kop van het peloton deed in Tirreno Adriatico, Jonas Vingegaard die niet van Lenny Martinez afkwam in Parijs-Nice en Karlijn Swinkels die Nederland een klassiekerzege bezorgde in Trofeo Alfredo Binda. Niek Goedvolk bespreekt met Roxane Knetemann en wielerverslaggever Daniël Dwarswaard de koersen van vandaag en de afgelopen week. Van der Poel maakte indruk met twee geweldige ritzeges: is dit de beste versie die we ooit van hem hebben gezien? En hoe komt Tadej Pogacar straks in Milaan-San Remo van de Nederlander af? De Sloveen krijgt daarbij in ieder geval hulp van Isaac del Toro, winnaar van het eindklassement in de Tirreno. Wout van Aert hoort niet meer bij de favorieten, maar toonde de voorbije dagen wel goede vorm. Nu nog durven gokken zoals MVDP. In Parijs-Nice zagen we een hele andere Jonas Vingegaard dan we gewend zijn. Heel gretig, haast amicaal en volop in de aanval. Waar zou die drang vandaan komen? En dan was er ook nog de misschien wel doorbraak van Swinkels. Zij bleef ijzig kalm met Anna van der Breggen in haar wiel en sprintte naar haar mooiste overwinning ooit. Wat kan ze straks tijdens de andere voorjaarsklassiekers? Rox sluit deze nieuwe aflevering van In Het Wiel af met een anekdote over een van haar deelnames aan Binda. En dat is zeker de moeite van het luisteren waard.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

🧭 REBEL Rundown 📌 Key Points 💨 HFNC met criteria for non-inferiority to BPAP for preventing intubation or death within 7 days in four of the five ARF subgroups.🧪 Bayesian dynamic borrowing increased power across subgroups but created variable certainty, especially in smaller groups such as COPD.🫁 The immunocompromised hypoxemia subgroup did not meet non-inferiority, leading to early trial stopping for futility.️ Rescue BPAP use, subgroup-specific exclusion criteria, and non-standardized BPAP delivery are important contextual factors that influence how subgroup results should be interpreted. Click here for Direct Download of the Podcast. 📝 Introduction Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure (BPAP) has long been a foundational modality in the management of acute respiratory failure (ARF), particularly in COPD exacerbations and cardiogenic pulmonary edema, where it can rapidly reduce work of breathing and improve gas exchange. It remains a core tool in our respiratory support arsenal.High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC), however, has expanded what we can offer patients by delivering many of the same physiologic benefits through a far more comfortable interface. With high flows, modest PEEP, and effective dead-space washout, HFNC can improve oxygenation and decrease work of breathing while preserving the ability to talk, cough, eat, and interact with staff and family. This combination of physiologic support and tolerability makes HFNC especially attractive in patients where comfort, anxiety, or cardiovascular stability are key considerations, and in settings where prolonged noninvasive support may be needed. Rather than competing with BPAP, HFNC broadens our options in ARF and allows us to better match the modality to the patient and their underlying disease process.The RENOVATE trial set out to answer a high-impact question across five distinct etiologic groups: Is HFNC non-inferior to BPAP (NIV) for preventing intubation or death in acute respiratory failure? 🧾 Paper Azoulay É, et al.

On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Lisa Conarton, CEO of LC Elevated Hospitality, who shares compelling examples of what it means to be a leader in the hospitality and tourism industry. We discuss the importance of building trust, why collaboration is key to success, and the difference between ROI and 'return on experience' (ROX). Lisa also shares how people can be proactive rather than reactive and why understanding how to go with the flow is so important. What You Will Learn in This Episode: How Lisa built her career path in hospitality and tourism, moving from convention operations to launching her own destination management consultancy Why earning trust is necessary for leadership and success in hospitality How networking and partnerships have been essential in driving growth for Lisa How Lisa differentiates between ROI (return on investment) and ROX (return on experience), and why focusing on experience benefits both travelers and businesses Why championing creativity encourages authenticity What real-life crisis taught Lisa about letting go, going with the flow, and relying on cultivated partnerships to execute successful events How Lisa approaches partnerships and collaboration, and her examples of coopetition within New York State destination marketing The Pillars of Hospitality Leadership From full-service hotel management to destination marketing and now as she builds her own consultancy, Lisa has consistently sought out growth opportunities. Her experience has shown that there are three key areas you have to prioritize: Earning Trust Trust has to be earned, particularly in hospitality, where seamless service and reliability are so important. Lisa emphasizes that trust is built over and over and over again, and needs consistency and integrity in every interaction. Networking and Collaboration Networking is the avenue to future collaboration and partnerships, which are the real engines behind growth. Not only do great relationships provide support in crisis, but they also lead to opportunities for greater collective achievements. The very definition of coopetition. Return on Experience (ROX) While return on investment (ROI) is a familiar metric, Lisa also values "return on experience"—the transformative impact of meaningful, memorable interactions that benefit both guests and the businesses serving them. Planning and execution are vital, but so is the focus on creating memories that resonate long after a trip or event ends. The Power of Partnerships Lisa shares the story of a last minute challenge, when with only 24 hours, she had to move a 150-person event when the venue became unusable due to heat. Through her well-established industry relationships, the move was seamless. While meticulous planning is crucial, so is the ability to let go and trust your partners. From her involvement with New York State's Destination Marketing Organizations (DMOs) to local industry partnerships, Lisa's success stories center around shared values and transparent communication. She explains why it's so important to figure out where each partner fits, recognize strengths, and build collaborations that play to everyone's best qualities.
