Pavan Davuluri only spoke at one Ignite 2025 session, and it did not deserve the hate he got. But what did he really say?
Copilot is a front-end for apps and cloud AI services, agents are background processes.
Apps in Windows need to become programmatic so AI and agents can control them.
You are in control. You being IT and the user. These experiences are off by default, opt-in, and optional. This is the end of whatever BS argument anyone has about this stuff.

We needed to pivot to survive and focus on what our audience wants. Podcast networks should be multi-dimensional to remain in the black, which means you are profitable and avoid struggling when advertising sales are down.

I started my podcast a year ago to educate brands on podcast ads and why our host-read ad format, which we have used since its inception, is the best and will always outperform all other podcast ad formats.
According to Spotify, the earliest podcast sponsors understood the intimate nature of podcasting, making it an ideal medium for brands to connect with engaged listeners and support their advertising goals. Why? Because at the center of that connection is the podcast host, whose familiar voice listeners trust. As podcast advertising grew - host-read ads became advertisers preferred format. Now...

Having been in podcasting business for several years, brands would benefit more if they worked directly with podcast networks because networks know what it takes to be successful and agencies who buy across thousands of podcasts do not implement the tools you need for a successful campaign - hence they waste brand money, while networks know how to position brands properly on their network & they save brands money.

2023-05-2604 minHost-Read Ads (Audio)Podcast Advertising Effectiveness
Having overseen podcast ad sales for over a decade, here at TWiT, we know how to properly implement podcast campaigns on our network. Here are the top four tools you should use to properly gauge your podcast campaigns.
Use ad-tech, such as Podsights, Claritas, or Podscribe, to properly gauge attribution. These providers will include a tracking pixel in the podcast feed and a tracking pixel on your website. Then the ad tech company can track who downloaded a podcast episode with an ad in it, and they track that IP address for 60 days to see if they visited...
2023-05-1902 minHost-Read Ads (Audio)Sales Tip - Communicate with the CMO and CSO To Maximize Campaign Results
I have worked in all aspects of C-level positions over my 35+ year career with an emphasis in accounting, finance, growth, partnerships, biz dev, media, and sales - I prefer to work with partners who bring their marketing and sales leaders to the first strategy meeting. And here are my top 3 reasons why this will maximize campaign results.
I find it common at several companies for their sales and marketing teams to have different agendas and not be fully aligned in working on the same goals, or they are just too busy to communicate regularly. It always baffles me...
2023-05-1202 minHost-Read Ads (Audio)What Brands Should Do In Uncertain Times
Brand marketing is an easy target that CMOs face pressure to minimize in times of uncertainty. Since the explosion of inflation last year, major cuts in the tech sector, the Russian/Ukrainian war, and the escalating political issues in the US and frankly everywhere. Brands are struggling to make decisions, and marketing is the first place they cut. CMOs resist cutting their budgets because how else do you expect to remain relevant and meet long-term goals if you are not marketing your brand?
Research indicates that reducing brand marketing budgets in downturns backfires, and the minimal savings...

I want to continue from last week's episode and do a deeper dive into why host-read ads in a podcast are more impactful than dynamically inserted ads. This is my 2nd podcast covering this topic, and I plan to do more because the difference is substantial.
First, who truly listens to 30 or 60-second dynamically inserted ads when listening to a podcast? I don't, all podcast players have skip features, and since the ad is read by some random person that I don't care about, I immediately skip the ads because it's easy.

2023-03-0302 minHost-Read Ads (Audio)Dynamic Ads versus Host-Read Facts #1
I've been reading about podcast advertising and its decline since its boom in the pandemic. A record number of podcasts launched and monetized during the pandemic, and several are closing now that it's over. Actors, athletes, and anyone stuck at home, the entire world, launched a podcast during COVID, and now there is a downturn as people are realizing that podcasting takes time, commitment, an audience, and hosts who have something to say that have an audience who wants to hear from.
Our network, TWiT.tv, was established in 2005, and today we have 13 ad-supported podcasts and 15 ad-free...

Let's talk about advertising copy. TWiT.tv provides a full-service continuity team that includes ad copywriting. However, many of our partners choose to supply us with their internal ad copy. Often, these copies are mass-produced and not tailored to our highly qualified audience, which causes them to fall flat in conversions. Our audience is curious and willing to try. We know something needs to be corrected when numbers show that our listeners are visiting sponsors websites but failing to sign up or make a purchase. We modify ad copy to highlight the most important features while including the why...

When we think of keeping people happy, we have a tendency to overthink it. The same thing applies to your clients. It's not as complicated as you might think, but there are some important things to consider. Here are six steps to keeping your clients happy.
Present Clear Terms and Expectations. When starting out the relationship between yourself/your company and your client, it's important to be clear about what you offer. For example, someone will generally not be pleased if they expect a yacht and get a canoe. This is an extreme example, but the point is...

TWiT.tv has been an ad-supported network for over 17 years, and when we first took on advertising in 2007, we adopted a two-ad-read model versus a one-ad-read model for all of our shows. Our ad format is as follows: each show episode has two ad positions for each sponsor - first is the host-read billboard (typically 10 - 15 seconds) and second is a host-read interstitial ad (typically 1-2 minutes and can be longer). Flash forward to 2023 - we still use this model today, and this is why:
We adopted the two-ad model because we paid for testing different formats...
