The latter part of the show focuses on feedback and audience participation. Ayla's podcast segment is evaluated by hosts and audience members, leading to an overall impressive score of 8.6 out of 10. The scores reflect strong engagement, with particular praise for Ayla's interview skills and the quality of content.

How Video Marketing Is Reshaping Content Strategies

Show Notes:

Chat GPT - General discussion

So much has changed since our last episode!  

Chat GPT was released or unleashed upon the world!

Garnered over 100 million users in the first month 

29 Billion in valuation 

What is Chat GPT?  
How accurate is it?
Is this a tool for marketers?  
Should marketers or content creators be worried about their jobs?
 Is this a technology everyone should have access to?  
Do you have any future concerns about the flood of fake information, deep fake videos and artificially created photos?

New Tik Tok Features
SOURCE:  TechCrunch 
TikTok does have a pretty good search function and does auto categorize videos.  But still there isn’t a great way to jump into a specific category.  That changes with this new update:

From Tech Crunch 
“TikTok has quietly added new topic feeds to its homepage alongside its current “Following” and “For You” feeds. Some users are now seeing new video feeds dedicated to “Sports,” “Fashion,” “Gaming” and “Food.” Swiping between the feeds shows you content for each category without having to specifically search for it.”

Instagram is getting rid of live shopping

SOURCE:  
The Verge 
Facebook and Instagram have been practically begging businesses to set up shops on their platforms.  You can still set up a store and experience 0 fees through June.  Despite this push for the last 2 years, I have yet to make a purchase from a store or even see an item available for sale in a Facebook store.

Is this a case of “stop trying to make fetch happen”? 
Do people want to shop on Facebook and Instagram

OUR TOPICS TONIGHT:
YouTube to Let Advertisers Target Podcast Listeners SOURCE: Hollywood Reporter
 https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/digital/youtube-audio-ads-podcasts-1235241846/

Takeaways: Beta version launched in 2020 New version increases ad time from 15 seconds to 30 seconds audio ad spots on video

SOURCE: Insider Intelligence
 https://www.insiderintelligence.com/content/tiktok-going-after-podcasting-and-it-s-all-youtube-s-fault

Could Tik Tok be releasing a Podcast app?

Notes: TikTok may be getting ready to release a Podcast App TikTok has over 1 billion monthly users and 138 million monthly US Users Recently registered for a patent for TikTok Music which includes podcast content

Is this really YouTube’s fault or is it from a fragmented app market on the Android Side?

SOURCE: VOX  https://www.vox.com/culture/2022/10/1/23376438/podcasting-pop-culture-and-just-like-that-only-murders

Key Notes from Article: Podcast Characters in shows are popping up everywhere.  From Sex and the City revival And Just like that, to Ghostbusters Afterlife that has a character named “Podcast”

What about fictional characters releasing podcasts?  
Ron Burgundy? Or HBO’s effort to extend the viewing experience with podcast content from cast/directors?
