Back in 1979, Buggles sang Video Killed The Radio Star.

42 years later is the radio star making a comeback? We think so! In the second age of audio, podcasts, audiobooks and internet radio has seen huge growth. Paradoxically it is all thanks to AI. As the machines take over. Then the human race is more inclined for reaching out for the human touch.

That is our conversation today with Graham Brown, from Pikkal & Co, Singapore. Graham has a degree in AI. As well as has published over 1,000 podcasts so this makes him the right expert to answer this question.

Dear Marketers, before you set up an elaborate sales funnel (which by the way are becoming somewhat prehistoric) with email and a functioning website. Have you considered AI (beyond a chatbot) and machine learning to do the heavy lifting?

Today's guest is Bant Breen, Noted Marketing and Media Executive, Entrepreneur and Academic from Qnary, an executive reputation management company.

Qnary is one of the fastest growing companies according to both INC. and Entrepreneur magazines.

Bant has kindly agreed to come onto the show and share with us his insights and expertise of what is to come in regards to Artificial Intelligence and why Marketers, who work in an industry that quickly adopts technology is lagging behind a little bit when it comes to machine learning. A fascinating insight into what is coming up around the corner.

To check out more about Qnary visit https://www.qnary.com.au/ or to check out Bant's work visit https://www.bantbreen.com/
