Navigating the Challenges of Media and Tech

On this week’s episode of The Rebooting Show, I spoke with Vox Media president of revenue and growth Ryan Pauley about how the publisher has become a podcasting juggernaut, with Pivot, Decoder and Today Explained franchises. Ryan discusses the “Lego approach” that snaps together different business models, with some podcasts as owned and operated and others as partnerships. We also get into the rebundling and how media companies like Vox can link with creators to provide the sales and distribution infrastructure most independent media operators will not build.
