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.

On this podcast I’ve interviewed a number of solo creators, folks working freelance for larger outlets or people hustling their own personal channels. This podcast, we’re going to speak with someone managing one of the largest Android sites on the web.

Daniel Bader from Android Central is someone I’ve only just recently started chatting with, but quickly fell into a friendly rapport. A skilled editorialist and a thoughtful podcast host, Daniel sat down to chat about his experiences getting into tech and tech reviewing, what it was like moving from a smaller outlet to a larger team, and some of the issues that even the bigger players are facing opposite algorithms and monetizing.
