My good friend TK Bay is back!

My first interview for this creator chat series, TK returns to chat about some of the changes he’s made producing content, moving on from XDA to focus on his own channels, and how the monetization game has changed looking at YouTube and Amazon.

100 podcasts later, and TK has actually been living the advice he gave in our first conversation. I owe him a ramen run when our favorite noodle shop re-opens.

Facebook drops as a news source WHILE more companies look to pull their advertising from the platform. Dish might be looking to drop the Boost Mobile deal, which was an important part of the Sprint / T-Mobile merger. WWDC is happening TODAY!

And we need to chat about how pretty the LG Velvet is!

Our second return appearance on this show!

My pal, podcaster extraordinaire, Adam Doud is back!

Adam is a passionate advocate for the art of podcasting, but from his first appearance on Creator Chat to now, he’s changed up his production. Working under another company’s media umbrella, those older podcasts were discontinued. Adam had a lot to say about those podcasts getting closed out, and what it was like striking out on his own to start up his new show, The Benefit of the Doud podcast.

Following up on Twitter labeling 5G misinformation, and does this make Twitter a “publisher”? Google getting sued for tracking your incognito browsing. The FCC is about to pour money into the hands of ISPs with ZERO accountability for real broadband improvements. LG and Samsung set to deliver mid-range 5G options in the USA.

And we should probably chat about this PlayStation 5 thing all the kids are hip to…

Our first return appearance on this show. My buddy Enobong Etteh from BooredatWork is dropping by to follow up on our previous conversation. Making changes to a channel can be stressful. BooredatWork pivoted on smartphone and gaming content, and E had a lot to share about how his audience reacted to that change in coverage.

E also had some feelings to share on the current political issues facing our country, on the protests, and how it’s affecting the tech community. We’re going to be discussing some raw topics, but Enobong’s style is always thoughtful and considered.
