FM-Tech-AI-Cryto-Gas-Governors-Week’s Best Stories-Podcast 723

Every once and a while it’s good to roll through the news and pick a few stories to talk about. Used to do this a lot back in the radio days. These days not so much. We’ll talk about it in FM-Tech-AI-Cryto-Gas-Governors-Week’s Best Stories-Podcast 723.

The Brits May Say Goodbye To FM

Radio is a good place to start. Seems the Brits are getting rid of the FM Radio Band. Listening to digital services in the UK is now over fifty percent. Meanwhile in the US, the radio industry insists on telling the world radio listening has never been higher.  I don’t believe it.

Young Adults Abandon Radio

Especially relevant is an informal survey I did recently of younger adults. I asked them if they listened to the radio. Virtually none of them have. In years.

Princess Leia On Your Smart Phone

Radio talk makes me want to talk about tech. Remember the Princess Leia hologram in the first Star Wars? The first holographic smart phone is due to hit the market this year. The Red Hydrogen One will allow you to shoot 3D video and projects a holographic display which doesn’t require special glasses to see. Another idea from Star Wars that has become real. Details in FM-Tech-AI-Cryto-Gas-Governors-Week’s Best Stories-Podcast 723.

Big Tech Makes Us Mad

When they’re not complaining about gas prices, people love to complain about social media and big tech companies. With so many of the top market cap companies in the tech world, like Amazon and FaceBook for example, people are getting worried they might be too big. Regulation is the answer, right?

Not So Fast

Big Tech Disruptors

What disrupts social media and tech companies? Artificial Intelligence and Crypto Currencies to name two. Blockchain, Smart Contacts and Community to name three more. Moreover when you combine these new ideas with robotics and a faster and more robust internet, the next big thing might not be Amazon, FaceBook, Google or Apple.

Maybe It Will Disrupt Big Government Too

If so called ‘Big Tech’ can be disrupted by this ‘crust’ of new tech ideas that give the consumer control of their identity and money, what’s the possibility for the disruption and eventual dissolution of our sclerotic government? Think about it with me in FM-Tech-AI-Cryto-Gas-Governors-Week’s Best Stories-Podcast 723.

Minnesota Where Corruption-I Mean Business As Usual-is Legal

In conclusion it’s business as usual in the land of ten thousand lakes. The 2018 Governor’s race is heating up. Retiring 1st district congressman Tim Walz just got the nod from Education Minnesota. This is a big endorsement for Democratic candidates. On the Republican side the more things change…

Attack Of The Re-Treads

Gubernatorial re-tread and wealthy banking lobbyist Tim Pawlenty has decided to forgo the Minnesota GOP’s State Convention at Duluth in the beginning of June. He says he got into the race too late. Truth is, the twenty or so rich guys in Minnetonka don’t like the grassroots political community. Find out why in FM-Tech-AI-Cryto-Gas-Governors-Week’s Best Stories-Podcast 723.

Breaking News Fatigue-Podcast Consciousness-Free Wheeling Talk-Podcast 709

These days we’re in a news rich environment. Lots of breaking news. Content creators try to connect the dots and make predictions. A podcaster talks about this pressure and how to deal with it in Breaking News Fatigue-Podcast Consciousness-Free Wheeling Talk-Podcast 709.

A Breaking News Weekend

This was a weekend of breaking news from Washington, protests, and explosive expose’s from a porn star about the president. Suddenly the airwaves and Internet are on fire.

As a podcaster with over seven hundred podcasts so far, I’ve learned no matter what has happened, I’ve probably done a podcast about it.

Free Wheeling Talk

Many of the podcasts I’ve done have a lot of preparation and research behind them. But sometimes I like to just turn on the microphones and do some free wheeling talk about what’s going on, and the consciousness of The Bob Davis Podcasts. That is just what the doctor ordered in Breaking News Fatigue-Podcast Consciousness-Free Wheeling Talk-Podcast 709.

The Bob Davis Podcasts Are A Resource

Moreover many of the issues we deal with in media these days come up again and again. No matter what those issues are, I have probably done more than one podcast about it. As a result it is time to talk about The Bob Davis Podcasts web site as a resource. If you want to ‘connect the dots’ podcasts done on these issues over the last nine years are a great resource.

Breaking News and Social Media Fatigue

In conclusion I find many people greatly fatigued by the constant political fighting and breathless breaking news coverage lately. Breaking News fatigue, Opinion Fatigue and Social Media Fatigue is a big deal these days.

Podcasters As Content Creators

How do podcasters create content that is engaging and entertaining in this environment? How do you advance the story? Every now and then you have to throw the notes away and just talk. That’s what I do in Breaking News Fatigue-Podcast Consciousness-Free Wheeling Talk-Podcast 709.
