The Media Roundtable isn’t just another industry podcast; it’s an open lab where the sharpest minds in podcasting, advertising, and media break down the forces shaping the audio landscape—and reconstruct them in real time.
We created this show in service of the Chief Audio Officer: the marketer responsible for making audio campaigns not just sound good, but drive results. For many brands, audio advertising is a highly effective secret weapon–but it can be difficult to navigate, requiring specialist expertise to untangle its nuances. From brand safety to ad load, from recapping the latest industry news, to redefining what a podcast is in this day and age, we tackle the issues that matter most to a CAO, in the most entertaining way possible.
You’ll hear from a wide range of voices—past guests include T-Pain, David Spade, Ashley Flowers (Crime Junkie), Ben Shapiro (The Daily Wire), and Ira Glass (This American Life), to name a few—alongside leading brands, publishers, and our own team of experts. If you’re invested in audio, whether you're buying the ads, creating the content, or just curious about the business, Media Roundtable is your ear to the ground with an eye on the future–and it’s time you listen.
This week, Oxford Road Founder and CEO, Dan Granger, meets with Adam Carolla. Adam gives a true insider's perspective on a host of topics within the podcast ecosystem, including his thoughts on best practices for brands to collaborate with talent on live reads.
Adam shares a strong message for brands who are afraid of sponsoring shows that produce controversial content and what it's like to live and work in harmony with people who hold entirely different views, from Tucker Carlson to Jimmy Kimmel.
