A must listen for the future of media and marketing

Pull up a barstool while 2 expert media and marketing practitioners, Robert Rose and Joe Pulizzi- authors of "Killing Marketing", and other books together and separately including "Content Inc.", "Experiences", and many more..

Talk about football.

Don't worry, it won't last too long (if you don't like American football, you'll survive, but you've been warned) and then you'll get a run down of the latest media and marketing news and analyses...

But the real value comes from their take on the implications of what is happening.

They get under the surface and into not just what is happening, but why, and what it means.

The strategies, the technologies, the trends..and they are not afraid to go out on a limb, dare to forecast the future and be wrong...or right.

It's a great ride and you'll be sharper when you get back to your job Monday.

Good'un ,

This old marketing

I heard Joe’s visit with Michael Stelzner podcast and decided to seek out more.
Subscribed and have been enjoying episodes regularly and relistening to many.
They educate me on so many aspects of marketing.
Their stories of family life add a lot also.
Thanks Robert and Joe.

Great source of education and entertainment

Joe and Robert have helped me understand the ever changing world of marketing, business and content. And now even more with the introduction of web3 into the scene. My podcast feed was really lonely when they took their sabbatical, but thankfully they came back. Love this podcast, the Tilt, Content Inc and now $IDEA.
