    AI & The Melting of Truth

    AI & The Melting of Truth

    A special 400th episode of This Old Marketing. And yes, the boys are getting up there!
    Joe and Robert discuss AI announcements by the US President and Microsoft (launching of Copilot), as well as Google integrating AI into search. For AI to work well, it needs to be working from a correct set of information. Is that the case or should we be worried?
    Elon holds a company meeting and talks about X doing almost everything. It's too bad that Apple and Google have a head start in this area.
    And Disney buys out the rest of Hulu. Good thing? Regardless, Disney is having operational challenges.
    Rants and raves include Joe's new website, IP addresses and Omnicom buying Flywheel.

Ian Truscott ,

Makes my Friday

From the American football (and I’m from the UK), to the rants and raves, it’s a been a joy to spend an hour with these gentlemen every Friday over the years. Great mix of conversation, relevant topics, delivered with banter between two friends. A must listen for marketers and content folks.

Natleh ,

Funny, entertaining, educational (with a side of sarcasm)

I love catching up with my old buddies P & R on my way into or home from work. The easy conversational chat makes it feel like you’re in a conversation with friends, while the years of knowledge and experience give a well rounded view on what’s currently going on in the world of marketing, advertising and all that jazz.

Worth a listen!
