Steve Goldstein: Amplifi Media

It's been over three years since we had Steve Goldstein from
Amplifi Media on the show. He has an excellent feel for audio and
how it is consumed, whether that is podcast, radio, streaming,
voice or smart speakers. In particular, I have been fascinated
with the advent of the smart speaker. Is it really a device that
will save radio? Can it access those 1.8 million podcasts? How
much of a game changer is it?


In this episode, you'll hear how smart speakers have evolved
since the sales explosion of Alexa and Google Home in 2017.
You'll find out why podcasts have not found their way onto smart
speakers, and how radio has made out with them in the pandemic.
We also discuss the difficulties of starting a podcast that
doesn't have a point of differentiation.


It is always a joy to have Steve on the show to discuss the
evolution of audio.


There's always more on the episode page including the link to
