Recode Media Recode

Peter Kafka knows his way around the media-verse and when he doesn’t (which rarely happens), he interviews someone who does know. His podcast is great for all of the media junkies out there wanting to keep in the know about the ever-changing media landscape. He talks to magazine editors, newspaper journalists, tv producers, and all sorts of content creators. He asks questions clearly and doesn’t shy away from more difficult questions.

Love Kafka and his podcast but he whiffed it hard when he had YT Sue available to answer questions. You could hear in his voice how he got amped up and biased because a coworker of his was teased.

He pushes the agenda to limit the youtube upload freedoms, as well as some more crazyness, while citing how it works for traditional media...

This dude, Kafka, knows the dangers and hurdles of traditional media! He knows the generational engagement challenges of traditional media to penetrate cord cutters etc.

Pisses me of Kafka gets the opportunity to speak with Sue and basically whiffs the first half with bias then speed runs through generic talking points etc.

One of the audience members asked one of the best questions regarding the actual platform, creators, and viewers.

Peter is a great host and I appreciate that he doesn’t fawn over his guests, rather he asks them pointed questions that offer great insights.

If you work in media, the digital space, advertising or something similar you really can’t afford not to listen. I learn something new every podcast and find the podcast material pretty compelling. Some interviews are a bit long but that just means I need to listen in bits and pieces. Great stuff though.
