The Evolving Media Podcast Simon Staffans

Steve Coulson is the creative director over at Campfire, the company that's done a lot of amazing campaigns in the immersive and audience engaging transmedia vein over the years. Some weeks ago Steve caused a bit of a stir by releasing the graphic novel "Summer Island", a novel created with AI-generated artwork. As everyone can imagine, it's been fairly polarising, with some seeing a threat where others see possibilities.
Very timely, Steve also released his second novel today - "Exodus"!
Today we'll talk AI, art, and the future of content! Enjoy!

We're back! In this episode I talk to the prolific Sandra Lehner about utilization of NFTs in the world of media, about what the world of TV can learn from e-sports, about the need to build audience and actually engage with them and about how Gen Z is approaching their roles as consumers and increasingly producers. Check out Sandra on her LinkedIn here https://www.linkedin.com/in/sandralehner and enjoy the episode! As always, please do like, share and all that jazz! We'll be back with the next episode in a couple of weeks!

Welcome to a new episode of the Evolving Media podcast. In today’s episode I’ll be talking to Claudia Rinke, who’s a bestselling and award-winning author and the creator and screenwriter of the documentary film NOW - available later this spring - about the climate movement. The film features add-ons such as a podcast-series, and is an example of the interest she haves for narratives of vision and the Collective Journey. Let’s dive into it!Links for the episode:

A talk with Rosie Poebright of Splash and Ripple, about her latest venture, the immersive podcast drama "Play Inside"

In this episode we do a deep dive into the world of documentary filmmaking and the change (some would say long overdue change) that we're witnessing at the moment. Old models don't necessarily work anymore, and we desperately need to learn how to navigate new realities... while at the same time taking into consideration a whole set of new challenges and possibilities.Joining me for this talk is Louise Rosen. With over 25 years of experience of the documentary filmmaking industry, her company Louise Rosen Ltd (LRL) provides services to filmmakers including guidance on project development, editorial review at all stages of production, strategies for fundraising, distribution and festival planning, sales agency for project financing and distribution of finished films. LRL projects have included Oscar, Emmy, Sundance, and other award-winning films and have been released across all platforms. Enjoy! If you find this interesting, please share, comment, recommend and subscribe. Thank you!

Some of my formative media years were spent in the TV format industry, which back in the days was a creative hotbed for new ideas with the potential to go global basically overnight. Today the industry looks different in many ways. There is no one better to talk to about the future of TV formats and how they could potentially find a purpose in today's media world than Jan Salling. Formerly of Banijay, Nordic World, Zodiak and FRAPA, he now heads up the Nordic division of BBC. If there's something he doesn't know about TV formats, it's probably not worth knowing. Welcome!
