Too Good Not To Share

Next In Media is the perfect name for this podcast. Each interview brings new ideas and their potential impact. Although forward looking, the topics are practical and have immediate relevance. Every time I listen, I find myself sharing episode links with peers and friends.

Best Media Pod

Work in ad sales (previously a buyer), I have always looked for a pod that wasn’t speaking just broadly about marketing or so top-line about the media sector, but actually wasn’t afraid to get in the weeds…well this is it. Mike is great and he has guests on that actually know their stuff and don’t speak down to the audience at all. It’s a great listen and will keep you more knowledgeable than your peers.
