In this pre-Content Marketing World podcast number 95, Joe and Robert talk about Newscred's $42 million dollar round and what it means for the content marketing industry. Google pushes hard on native ads inside Gmail, and what's wrong with content calendars (hint: you'll find out)? Rumors swirl around Apple launching original programming, and a CMO survey says content development tops the budget charts for 2016. Rants and raves include an "ode to Joe" and a publishing crisis. This week's TOM example: Weight Watchers.
