About this episode
Introduction This show kicks off with the hosts discussing the merits of different podcast schedules. They then have an internal discussion about when and where to record. Believe me, this makes for extremely riveting audio. It’s like the Serial podcast without all the interesting content. After they sort out how frequently they record, they discuss Giving Tuesday and discover that they are all old and have no idea where new trends come from. Jeremy then discusses how easy it is to get him to buy things with email marketing, as well as the fact that he bought a Peloton cycling bike. He doesn’t mention whether or not he is paying for the monthly subscription to ride a bike, but he also doesn’t give out an affiliate code, which is unexpected. The Show I’m not gonna lie. This is a weird one. There really doesn’t appear to be a single topic; the hosts just sort of ramble about several different things, so I’m just going to give you a bullet list. Black Friday sales James don’t do ‘em. Email Marketing Jeremy is a sucker for good email marketing. Rob doesn’t market via email, even though he is a marketer. Facebook Advertising James wants a Facebook feed that’s nothing but ads. Rob discusses whether or not Facebook is shaping what we think and what we talk about by rewarding certain posts with views. Chinese Social Rating Is there a social rating number being used in China like a credit score? Who knows, but that doesn’t stop our hosts from discussing it. Black Mirror Episodes James mentions season 3 episode 3 of Black Mirror, Nosedive. Black Mirror is too scary for Rob. Tips & Tricks Rob has recently purchased a very old car and needs to know why his check engine light keeps coming on.
