Pnr: This Old Marketing | Content Marketing With Joe Pulizzi And Robert Rose

The boys are back in real-time talking all things X, Google's podcast moves, and how to drive subscriptions. X CEO Linda Yaccarino does the company no favors with her interview at Vox's CODE conference. Ads are down. Usage is down. The only thing that can save X might be Linda's couch pants. Google podcasts is no more. Alphabet decides to cancel the podcast player and move resources over to YouTube. Good move?
