Adweek Staff7 years ago7 years ago08 mins

There may not be a traditional media brand that has its podcasting vehicle firing on all cylinders like 46-year-old NPR, which sponsored the Rain Podcast Business Summit in New York on Wednesday.

Overheard at Dmexco: Ad tech vendors are ‘selling fear’ – Digiday

Seb Joseph7 years ago4 years ago08 mins

Cutting through the noise at Dmexco, the tentpole global event for the ad tech industry, isn’t for the fainthearted. The official talking points this year centered around brand safety and transparency, but the chatter that happened around the edges shows ad tech is still too cluttered and self-serving. One thing’s for sure: More ad tech…

TTC’s Brad Ross on The Commuter: What not to do if Liam Neeson boards your train – The Globe and Mail

Brad Ross7 years ago06 mins

When The Globe and Mail asked if I would consider writing something about Liam Neeson’s latest action thriller, The Commuter, I eagerly agreed. Not since The Taking of Pelham 123 has Hollywood fare given public transit such a platform. I imagined a storyline that had Neeson’s daughter, stuck on a shuttle bus – or worse,…

I Made the Pizza Cinnamon Rolls from Mario Batali’s Sexual Misconduct Apology Letter – The Everywhereist

Geraldine DeRuiter 7 years ago015 mins

Last night, I made cinnamon rolls. I’m not a huge fan of cinnamon rolls, per se, but this recipe was included in Mario Batali’s sexual misconduct apology letter, and so I feel compelled to make them. Batali is not the first powerful man to request forgiveness for “inappropriate actions” towards his coworkers and employees. He is…

Katelyn Polantz and Brian Stelter7 years ago08 mins

Michael Cohen, a personal lawyer for Trump who is named in the dossier, says BuzzFeed and several of its staffers defamed him when it published the 35-page document and an accompanying article last January.

Wolfenstein raises the question: When did punching Nazis become controversial? – Polygon

Steve Gaynor 7 years ago06 mins

Years ago, when MachineGames began production on Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus, I can’t imagine the studio — or any of us — would have guessed that actual, real-life, yes-I-mean-it Nazis would march in the streets of America in 2017, wielding torches, spouting hate speech, suffering little to no consequences as the nation looked on. And…

The bad media men list ‘outing’ story has a happy ending

Molly Roberts7 years ago09 mins

The “Sh–ty Media Men” list is back in the news. And the second chapter of its story has been as fraught as the first. Three months ago, a crowd-sourced spreadsheet of men in media who preyed on their female colleagues took over the Internet — until all the shouting about what had been designed as a whisper…
