Joe Pulizzi and Robert Rose, two of the most well-known experts in the content marketing space, talk about the latest content marketing trends and discuss how businesses can use content to attract and retain customers. Each podcast show features a discussion of content marketing headlines, rants from Joe and Robert on what's going on in the industry, and a "This Old Marketing" example from the past (that we can learn from). Always useful, entertaining and never more than 60 minutes. This Old Marketing is part of the Content Marketing Institute(CMI) Podcast Network.
Breaking news as X year-over-year numbers plummet. Can the Elon-run social media site recover?
Meta, and more specifically Instagram, is being sued by 33 states. The charge? That the company repeatedly misled the public about the dangers of being on their platform.
Joe and Robert discuss the sad truth: Meta puts profits (and addiction) ahead of the future of America. Done and done.
And finally, new research suggests that trust in media is at an all-time low (and getting worse by the minute). But there is an opportunity.
Rants and raves include the B2B creator, TikTok launches an event, and new DC funding for local news.

This week the all-knowing Elon announced their "everyone gets charged a dollar" plan. Musk made this sound like it was a "bots" move. Joe and Robert know it's something completely different.

And marketers are as tense as ever. Is this temporary or just stating the obvious?

The boys are back in real-time talking all things X, Google's podcast moves, and how to drive subscriptions.
X CEO Linda Yaccarino does the company no favors with her interview at Vox's CODE conference. Ads are down. Usage is down. The only thing that can save X might be Linda's couch pants.
Google podcasts is no more. Alphabet decides to cancel the podcast player and move resources over to YouTube. Good move?
And new research is out about who exactly is paying for subscriptions these days. What works and what doesn't?
Rants and raves include US student debt and the end of the writers' strike.
