Fred Jacobs: Secrets to Shape Your Future in Radio and Podcasting -

We welcome back Fred Jacobs, the media visionary and founder of Jacobs Media Strategies, known for creating the Classic Rock format in the 80s. This time, Fred emphasizes the importance of innovation in the radio industry. He expresses optimism about radio's future and ways you can succeed, but he also highlights the need for creative formats and reaching diverse audiences. We also dig into podcasting, where Fred expresses a somewhat bearish outlook on stand-alone podcasts due to saturation and challenges in audience discovery and monetization, but also shares ways in which established radio brands can still use podcasts to advantage.As always, Fred provides key insights into what we can learn from radio’s past, present, and thoughts on our future, touching on topics like podcasting, AI, and marketing strategies.One-Minute MartinizingPlease help us thank these supporters who help keep BRANDWIDTH ON DEMAND free!Musicmaster  Radio Swag Shop  Morning Show Boot CampReturn to Brandwidth on Demand episodesYES!
