SPOS #209 – Media Hacks #32
Welcome to episode #209 of Six Pixels Of Separation – The Twist Image Podcast. This is also episode #32 of Media Hacks. On the line is C.C. Chapman, Hugh McGuire, Christopher S. Penn and yours truly. In this episode, we celebrate the announcement of C.C.’s upcoming book, Content Rules (co-written with the truly awesome Ann Handley from MarketingProfs) which leads us down the rabbit hole into a conversation about content, authenticity, publishing (as usual) and how we all connect, create, curate and find content. And, in the end, none of us can figure out how to hold a phone the right way (who knew?). Beyond that we discuss devices and content and what this business may (or may not) look like. Enjoy the conversation…
