IAB compliance is coming, and the money should start flowing to podcasters thanks to all the new advertisers just waiting to advertise on podcasts, right? Well... not so fast. I speak with some authority when I say that there are more problems with podcast advertising than will be solved by having an agreed upon way of counting downloads. What's the problem? Logistics. We're just not set up to easily take ad dollars, because we've made it hard, when the advertising world is moving in a different direction. It should take hours to get an IO generated in 2018. Not days. Or weeks. I think it's mostly due to a misunderstanding -- if not downright ignorance -- of how digital advertising is supposed to work Check out this episode and see if you agree. The good news is that it's fixable. ----- I make shows for professional firms that support business objectives.

Abortion is a basic healthcare need for the millions of people who can become pregnant. Everyone should have the freedom to decide what’s best for themselves and their families, including when it comes to ending a pregnancy. This decision has dire consequences for individual health and safety, and could have harsh repercussions for other landmark decisions. Restricting access to comprehensive reproductive care, including abortion, threatens the health and independence of all Americans. Even if you live in a state where abortion rights are upheld, access to safe medical procedures shouldn’t be determined by location, and it shouldn't be the privilege of a small few. You can help by donating to local abortion funds. To find out where to donate for each state, visit donations4abortion.com. If you or someone you know needs help, or if you want to get more involved, here are 5 resources: 1. ShoutYourAbortion.com is a campaign to normalize abortion. 2.
