1. Where to start: Audio is on the steep ascendent and so now is the time to start. But what is a Marketer to do, in a concrete, actionable way? Last week, we proposed the Audio Bio. This week, we propose The Audio Testimonials. For a great example, take a look at how the folks at VO BOSS are doing it.
2. Three Insights on audio:
- "Audio is the most immersive media format that triggers memorability, trust, and connection, beating out the ad-based video on demand, digital video, linear TV, and social media.
- "Audio platforms are trusted more than other media sources, while local content and host trust are the most influential drivers for listening.
- "In addition to the convenience and multitasking benefits long recognized for spoken word listening, other strong motivators for increased listening are personal growth, better content, and spoken word’s ability to improve mental health."

4. Worth Watching: The latest episode of Lingofest. This week, it's Part Two of our interview with Amy Stapleton, Co-founder & CEO of Chatables.
5. Special: This week and next week, we are running a series of interviews with leaders and innovators in the NFT space. Our goal with the series is to talk about NFTs but minus the hype. If you are convinced that NFTs are voodoo technology, or an irrational fad, or a bubble, or at the very least louche, watch these conversations. If nothing else, you will see that many honest people are earnestly trying to solve real problems with NFTs. Here are the epiosodes posted so far:
