In this episode, Alberto is on the road but checks in with a quick news round-up. This is shorter than the typical episode and mostly focuses on some news items—yes, Bluesky is the new Twitter; Canon and Amazon score a win for consumers against "gray market" goods; and the truth about Spotify's Wrapped news.

We're ALL on Bluesky Now

It's been a minute but The Noisecast is back with a new episode and an old friend. In this episode we go in on why AI-written news shouldn't be a thing, Tesla's I, Robot ripoff flop, and NYC's Mayor Adam's obsession with using tech to violate people's right to privacy.

Thanks for checking us out and as always let us know how much you liked the show.

Not Wrong, Just Hallucinating

It's been a while and to get things back on track, I invited a long-time friend, Dre Bettis, to help me talk about robots, AI-written "newspapers", and Gen-AI Minions Memes - the reaction was worth it.

AI: It's not wrong, It's Hallucinating

There's a lot of content out there. From YouTube to Instagram to TV - content exists all around us. While more and more content is being made there seems to be a glaring absence of art. While art can be comprised of different media content, understanding the difference between the two can get complicated.

In this episode I sit down to chat with Founder and Editor-in-Chief of ThePhoblographer.com, Chris Gampat, to better understand Art vs. Content and how it's shaping the world around us.

At a time when personal branding can seem at best tired and at worst inauthentic, it's important that you make sure that branding has a purpose. That's what our guest, Joi Sears, has spent much of her adult life creating - brands that connect with people and help drive purpose-based missions forward.

In our interview, we talked about where she started her professional journey and the ups and downs of not only being an entrepreneur, and a community organizer but also how life has changed since becoming a mom. This isn't branding how you see it on social media - we get real.

Branding with a Purpose with Joi Sears

Creating YouTube videos about video games could easily be called a dream job, but as we learned in our interview with Ernesto Lopez of ButtonCheck, it's not all fun and games. In this episode, Alberto sits down with Ernesto to talk about Ernesto's journey from stand-up comic to "family man" to full-time YouTube creator. It's a great look into what it takes to build a career by pursuing your passion and his thoughts on the current state of the Fighting Games Community (FGC).

What is good design? Is it a robust list of features or a pared-down interface that focuses on the basics? In this episode, we sit down with Alex Nicholas, a UX Designer that's worked on a number of projects including revamping the Florida DOT's SunPass site. We discuss how design impacts our decisions as users and product owners and how up-and-coming freelancers can get started.
