The Media Roundtable isn’t just another industry podcast; it’s an open lab where the sharpest minds in podcasting, advertising, and media break down the forces shaping the audio and creator media landscape—and reconstruct them in real time. 

We created this show in service of brand marketers responsible for making audio and creator media campaigns not just sound good, but drive results. For many brands, audio advertising is a highly effective secret weapon–but it can be difficult to navigate, requiring specialist expertise to untangle its nuances. From brand safety to ad load, from recapping the latest industry news, to redefining what a podcast is in this day and age, we tackle the issues that matter most to brand marketers, in the most entertaining way possible. 

You’ll hear from a wide range of voices—past guests include Steven Bartlett (The Diary of a CEO), T-Pain, David Spade, Ashley Flowers (Crime Junkie), Ben Shapiro (The Daily Wire), and Ira Glass (This American Life), to name a few—alongside leading brands, publishers, and our own team of experts. If you’re invested in audio and creator media, whether you're buying the ads, creating the content, or just curious about the business, Media Roundtable is your ear to the ground with an eye on the future–and it’s time you listen.

Who should you trust your ad money with? Easy. Who your listeners trust.

This week on The Media Roundtable, Dan Granger (CEO & Founder, Oxford Road) welcomes back Emmy, Murrow, and Webby Award-winning journalist Mosheh Oinounou (Founder & Host, Mo News).

Mo shares the story of how he transformed his legacy news career into being a trusted independent creator with an audience +1M strong. Even better, he does it all with integrity, not outrage. In a shifting news landscape, marketers need to find mo’ creators like Mo.

Join us as they talk: Leaving a Legacy, In Mo We Trust, and Journalistic FOMO.

"[Brands] shouldn’t just be cutting checks to the organizations, podcasts, or creators that just have the largest number of views. They should be rewarding people who are actually contributing to responsible information and dialogue, and frankly, trying to preserve and maybe improve our democracy."

The Guaranteed Human In An Artificial World: How Leaders from Whole Foods, and GoodRX, Libsyn, and iHeartPodcasts Collaborate with AI

Creators may think they have an idea where AI is heading, but now they’re faced with a critical decision: when do they lean in and when to run in the opposite direction. With constant changes and new reports of “AI brain fry,” it’s hard to get an accurate picture: does AI help creators or harm them? Is there a world in which there is a happy medium?

This week’s Media Roundtable: Special Edition comes straight from the iHeart x Oxford Road Luncheon at SXSW 2026, "Less Noise, More Life: The Science of Thriving in an Artificial World." Featuring Dan Granger (CEO & Founder, Oxford Road) as he hosts podcasting powerhouses Tim Ferriss (entrepreneur & host,The Tim Ferriss Show) and Dr. Laurie Santos (Psychologist, & host, The Happiness Lab) for an existential examination of AI. 

The panel breaks down when and how to use AI, and tackles the all-important question, “What the hell is going on?” Join them as they talk: Listener Loyalty, Screen Fatigue, and AI Pros and Cons.

“The people who are going to convert the best right now would not consider themselves creators. They do not have extremely large audiences, but they have people who really, really trust them.”

The Power of Independence: Why Brands Are Betting on Independent Creators

Independent creators have to find a way to succeed, often without a network to support them and a safety net to fall back on.. In fact, 80% of the ORBIT top 15 performing podcasts are indies. But what does it take to win on their own… and is it worth it?

Find out in an all-new Media Roundtable: Special Edition.

Direct from Podcast Movement Evolutions at SXSW, Dan Granger (CEO & Founder, Oxford Road) takes the stage with three of the hardest-working, most successful independent podcasters: Hala Taha (CEO & Founder, YAP Media, Host,Young and Profiting) and Brett and Jordy Meiselas (Co-founders, MeidasTouch Network, Hosts,The MeidasTouch Podcast).

The panelists get real about the joys and struggles of podcasting without a net. Join them as they talk: Audience Trust, Loving Crunches, True Partnerships, and more. Let’s dig in.

“ The pro [of being independent] is that you have complete autonomy over your content and everything that happens, whether it's a success or a failure, falls on you. The con is the same exact thing.”

-Brett Meiselas (Co-founder, MeidasTouch Network, Host, The MeidasTouch Podcast)

Killer Mike Didn’t Choose Independence by Accident. Here’s What Marketers Should Hear.

On a new Media Roundtable: Special Edition, Dan Granger (CEO & Founder, Oxford Road) sits down with Grammy-winning rapper, independent artist, activist, and host of Conversate with Killer Mike, Michael Render, better known as Killer Mike.

Mike’s story isn’t the typical “indie creator” narrative. He was raised in an intentionally self-sufficient Black community in Atlanta, mentored by organizers connected to Dr. King, and introduced to leadership before most people are introduced to responsibility. 

Independence, for him, isn’t a tactic. It’s a philosophy.

When he showed up to host our Indie PaC Awards at Podcast Movement Evolutions during SXSW, he didn't show up for a check. He showed up because he believes in what independent media is building. That distinction matters.

“We don’t have to have guests. We’re just conversation-driven.”

– Killer Mike
