From brand safety to ad load, from recapping the latest industry news, to redefining what a podcast&nbsp;is&nbsp;in this day and age, we tackle the issues that matter most to a CAO, in the most entertaining way possible.&nbsp;You’ll hear from a wide range of voices—past guests include T-Pain, David Spade, Ashley Flowers (Crime Junkie), Ben Shapiro (The Daily Wire), and Ira Glass (This American Life), to name a few—alongside leading brands, publishers, and our own team of experts. If you’re invested in audio, whether you're buying the ads, creating the content, or just curious about the business,&nbsp;Media Roundtable&nbsp;is your ear to the ground with an eye on the future–and it’s time you listen.
