    Every episode is fantastic!
    No matter the subject, you’re guaranteed to gain something from every episode - can’t recommend Digiday enough. 🙌
  • SEW_96
    Brian interrupts his guests frequently & I’m not a fan.
    Otherwise the content is perfect

    Lessons for an engineer running a local media company
    Stepping into the digital media space in 2016, with a background in engineering and quality systems, I need all the help I can get. Our company 6AM City operates a network of hyper-local newsletter publications similar to theSkimm. In listening to the learnings from other tenured media folks on DigiDay, it has greatly helped advance our lessons learned and set us up for success. One of the greatest lessons learned is to reach out to those who are smarter than you and ask for what you need. It never hurts to ask... you never know what the connection on the other end might be able to contribute. We have successfully connected with many media and marketing executives by following up on Digiday Podcasts. There’s no better time then when it’s most relevant, so continue to listen everyday and be sure you walk away with something at the end of each Podcast.... then put it to use. Thanks for your contribution to furthering the ecosystem Brian Morrissey.

    Good dissection of the media business
    As the news media slowly transitions to digital formats, this podcast breaks it down for those seeking to understand.
  • Zuouperman
    Name a better media podcast.
    Go ahead. I dare you.
  • Deebowman25
    Quality stuff!!!
    Informative, entertaining, insightful about the industry without all the boring stuff.
  • Geofri
    It's impossible to hear the host.
    Good content but it's a very unpleasant experience when you can't hear the host.
  • mlserra
    A must-listen
    I work in the media industry and listen to this podcast religiously. I find the episodes to be extremely helpful as I think about my team and where to put time/energy (ex: not Instant articles). While I love that there are a lot of A level players in the podcast I would love to see someone from one of the mid-side media groups. It would be how their challenges differ compared to those with massive budgets and VC money.
  • SeanPmacNYC
    Great host, refreshingly candid interviews
    Brian does a great job as host, for someone hosting a Digital Ad business podcast, he's someone who defintiely does not drink the kool-ade and questions motives, but is also very welcoming to his guests.
  • Bjorn_SF
    Excellent Information! Love this podcast!
    Super big fan of Digiday already, so it made me so happy to discover [late to the game] this podcast. Now I'm hooked and they can't come out fast enough. Brian does a great job making each podcast interesting and relevant. Keep it up!
  • Adamj69
    Interesting insight every time
    Always a lively conversation relevant to the real challenges facing media today. One of my few 'must listens.'
  • Two Cool x2
    Please Fix the Audio
    As a career media buyer and planner, I love this podcast. The content is compelling and the guest are the top leaders in the industry. My only qualm the audio balance between the two speakers is terrible. Please fix this so we can focus on the content and not straining and blasting our ears. Thanks a lot and please keep up sharing interesting, relative, and important conversations for the ad world today.
  • Evansmummy
    Excellent podcast
    This is a consistently excellent podcast. Great listen each week. One request: Try to get voices from outside New York, DC and California. The podcast leaves the impression that there is no innovation taking place in local media.
  • TkpDtw
    Informative! Excellent guest speakers.
    I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to several podcasts. I thought the discussion with Rishad Tobaccowala of Publicis Groupe was fantastic! Any plans to provide podcasts via Stitcher?
  • BrandDefinition
    Excellent
    This podcast is exceptional.
  • Erin Ream
    LOVE!
    The Digiday podcast has quickly risen to the top of my podcasting priorities and is one of my "must listens" every week! I use it to get my wheels turning on my drive to work. The commentary is on point, educational, and even humorous and entertaining. Great guest interview selections. Highly unpretentious. I love this podcast and am so glad you guys started it. Keep up the great work.
  • Chris Ewert
    Excellent
    I’m a regular listener and love the weekly updates. Great insights and views on relevant topics. An important podcast to keep up with everything that’s happening in the digital world.
  • Fidit
    The essential podcast for digital advertisers
    Everyone knows that Digiday is a "must read" for anyone who needs to stay ahead in the fast-paced world of digital advertising. This podcast adds a new dimension to their journalism. It's a weekly wrap up of the new things they learned this week with extra color. I like the smart discussion and the delivery as a podcast - now, I can keep up with the latest trends in digital advertising while on my commute to work or out for a walk. Thanks!
  • Ana Andjelic
