Kill the word podcast? Our guest votes yes.

This week on “What’s a Podcast? - The Extended Interviews,” Dan Granger (CEO, Oxford Road & Veritone One) hosts AJ Feliciano (former GM of The Roost Network) for a deep dive on how The Roost became the in-house “media company of tomorrow.”

AJ is all-in on 360 content. He even built a flywheel for how podcasts can pivot into video so they can “pump [distribution platforms] with all types of content.” Oh. And in the podcast vs. simulcast debate? He’s 11/10 “simulcast.”

Dan and AJ are also talking: Be a Mini-Disney, Everything Everywhere All at Once, Find What Clicks, and more. Let’s get into it.

“Simulcast doesn't put itself in a box necessarily. When I'm talking to creators or fans and I say the word ‘simulcast,’ they see it’s in multiple places. It just sort of clicks immediately without having to explain it.”

– AJ Feliciano (former GM of The Roost Network)

This week on the Media Roundtable, Dan Granger (CEO, Oxford Road & Veritone One) hosts Steve Pratt (Founder, The Creativity Business, author of Earn It: Unconventional Strategies for Brave Marketers) for a debate about Steve’s article on Joe Rogan’s podcast status.

Why? Because a podcast is still the best place for an open exchange of ideas–even ideas about what is and isn’t a podcast. Plus, the cement’s still wet on our new podcast definition, so it’s time for a gut check.

Dan and Steve also cover Picking a Platform, Earning Attention, and more. This week's episode is sponsored by The Daily Wire.

“Consumers hold all the power. They can bypass anything they don't want. So the opportunity for most marketers that isn't being taken advantage of is: make something that people want.”

- Steve Pratt (Founder, The Creativity Business)
