![]() In Case You Missed It Chirp Chirp - Podcasts Are Coming to TwitterĪfter recording success with “Spaces”, Twitter has announced they’re bringing podcasts to the platform. If you’re interested in laughing through the pain, please click the link below. Sarah currently co-hosts The Brain Candy Podcast, which performs well for our clients with direct-to-consumer products targeting a female skew audience. Their first episode, which launched last week, covered topics such as narcissism, dating as an adult, and social media. MTV Challenge star and therapist Sarah Rice, and Tiktok sensation Therapy Jeff are pairing with The Butler Did It to talk through those toxic ideations, give their informed advice, and provide a laugh or two along the way. Mental health has never been a more prominent topic in our daily discourse, and yet many of us still feel the stigma of disclosing our current struggles. ![]() What do you say, Podcast Movement, your place or mine? You’ve got a standing invitation to The Media Roundtable for a good faith discussion. The move came across as tone-deaf, disingenuous and intolerant.Ģ) It would allow us to dive into helpful discussions about community tolerance and tools as best practices for "hard calls" versus seemingly partisan moves by, I'm sure, the very well-intending humans in the loop. But, in their approach, they ignored others and their own decision to allow The Daily Wire to be a sponsor in the first place. Of course, Podcast Movement reacted to the concerns of attendees. Why?ġ) It would allow the Podcast Movement community to hear from one another. What now? If Podcast Movement really is a diverse community, I propose we all come together for a town hall event to discuss what happened and find ways to do better in the future, or at least address their new organizational values, which would make decisions like these less of a surprise. If we truly believe in the free exchange of ideas as a foundational pillar of our democracy, then more of us will need to stand up, particularly for people with whom we have the most clear disagreements. I hope the public shaming and disavowing of sponsorship of Ben Shapiro will serve as a teachable moment and cause us all to look in the mirror. I’ve always been captivated by the quote (often misattributed to Voltaire), “ I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." Sometimes I fear that this spirit has been lost in modern media, where contradictory ideas and views are seen as harmful threats instead of invitations to a conversation in a good faith search for truth. I only wish that more journalists who do not align with the views of Ben or The Daily Wire would speak out as well. I was grateful to see The Blaze write a story to amplify my message. Instead of first consulting the community, data or event tools, they bluntly canceled without clear explanation, or reconciling their decision with their stated mission. In short, Podcast Movement's hasty negative response went against everything many of us in this industry have been fighting for including tolerance, credibility, and evenhandedness in media. In fact, The Daily Wire, his media property, was a paid sponsor!Īfter posting to LinkedIn, I was surprised by how many others from across the industry felt the way I do, even those that despise Ben. ![]() On next week’s Media Roundtable podcast, Oxford “Roadies” who attended will share their take on this year’s event, but this week we’re talking about the “ Ben Shapiro incident” that is making news with a post by Oxford Founder and CEO Dan Granger.īen Shapiro Canceled at Podcast Movement - Here’s What We Need to DoĪs some of you may have read, last week I was compelled to author a rant in the form of a series of LinkedIn posts about Podcast Movement’s Twitter Apology for allowing The Daily Wire Founder & Editor-in-chief Ben Shapiro’s presence at the conference, and the harm that it caused.Īs noted in my post, while many of my own personal views contrast with Ben's, his attendance was as legitimate as mine as a speaker and in line with the diverse community environment I'd come to believe Podcast Movement was all about. The “who’s who” of the Podcast Industry gathered last week in Dallas for the 8th annual Podcast Movement. ![]()
