Episode 300: Video Format and Web3 Topics

It’s here...the 500th episode of This Old Marketing! In this very special show, Joe Pulizzi and Robert Rose take a walk down memory lane, sharing stories, clips, and predictions from across the past twelve years of the podcast. Along the way, they’re joined by some surprise guests and special videos from friends of the show.

• The Beginning (Episode 1 – November 20, 2013): Joe and Robert recall the car ride that sparked the idea and how they launched the first episode in less than two weeks. Hear the original introduction, plus proof that football talk has always been part of the show’s DNA.

• Episode 100 (October 12, 2015): Reflections on content marketing trends a decade ago, from the rise of content brands to the great terminology debate. Joe predicts the rise of the walled gardens, Robert envisions marketing’s shift toward experiences, and both make some bold (and hilarious) calls about Apple, Disney, and Twitter.

• Episode 200 (September 11, 2017): A nostalgic milestone filled with clips, insights on audience building, and predictions around Facebook’s billion-dollar content push. Highlights include Robert’s reflections on the value of audience and the duo’s “can’t believe we made it this far” moment.

• Episode 211 (December 11, 2017): The original “finale” - Joe and Robert answer listener questions, quiz each other, and close out what they thought was the end of the journey.

• Episode 212 (July 15, 2019): The “Genesis Planet” comeback episode after 577 days away. Joe and Robert return in full stride, proving the magic never left.

• Episode 300 (December 3, 2021): The first video podcast, featuring a special musical intro from Gary Busey. Predictions fly about Web 3.0, tokenization, the metaverse, and the future of “rented land.” Plus, cocktails, personal reflections, and football banter.

• Episode 400 (November 3, 2023): “AI & the Melting of Truth” marks another milestone with big conversations around AI, search, and Disney’s media moves. A clip on Google’s AI results shows just how much the world has shifted.

• A video greeting from filmmaker Kevin Smith

• A montage of messages from listeners and friends of the show. Thank you to A. Lee Judge, Bert Van Loon, Brian Piper, Cathy & Bridget McPhillips, Fernando Labastida, JK Kalinowski, Katie Brinkley, Maliha Khan, Paul Roetzer and Ruth Carter.

Yes, even in this celebratory episode, Joe and Robert can’t resist a few choice rants and raves. (You’ll just have to listen in!)

Did you know that most businesses only use 20% of their data? That's like reading a book with most of the pages torn out. Point is, you miss a lot.

Unless you use HubSpot.

Their customer platform gives you access to the data you need to grow your business.

The insights trapped in emails, call logs, and transcripts.  All that unstructured data that makes all the difference. Because when you know more, you grow more.
