    The Collab

    Sophie zeroes in on how perfectly targeted ad placements not only bring brands closer to their audiences, but deliver real results not typically found in other forms of media. She deep dives into this trend and discusses the effect that data driven, and sometimes AI powered solutions, has on a show and the audience, itself.  This episode features Tamara Zubaity, co-founder and CEO of Barometer, Paul Riismandel, President at Signal Hill Insights, and Shankar Vedantam, Executive Editor and host of Hidden Brain.

    The Feedback Loop

    Sophie dives into the ever-important host-listener relationship, and how the breaking down of the fourth wall brings the audience in as contributors, taking them from listeners to part of the show. With her guests, she discusses the use of social media, how hosts will take the extra step to make their fans feel seen and heard, and just how advertisers can align themselves with this trend.  This episode features Alie Ward, host of the comedic science podcast Ologies, and Matt Shapo, Director of Digital Audio and Video at the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB).

    The Binge

    Bingeable podcast creation has led to a rise in listener-creator engagement. In fact, two-thirds of listeners are taking in multiple episodes back-to-back in a single session, as they seek connections with not only the story, but the storytellers themselves. In this episode, Sophie discusses how the bingeable model engages listeners while also benefiting advertisers pursuing a way to tell their own brand's story while speaking to devoted audiences.  This episode features Tom Webster, partner at Sounds Profitable, and Delia D’Ambra, host and producer of three hit shows, Counterclock, Park Predators, and Dark Arenas.
