  • The audio production needs work

    Good guests and questions but I’ve stopped listening to several interviews because of how poorly produced some of the episodes are. A bit too distracting

  • Engaging and vital listening

    The Rebooting is vital listening for anyone wanting to learn more or simply keep up with what’s happening with all the new news brands popping up. No show goes as deep on the business models of these new brands that make big debuts.

    Brian is a good interviewer and knows the ins and outs of the world of media startups to ask the right questions. And he always gets into the money, something journalists and media folks appreciate.

  • Add this Show to your Favorites!

    A fantastic listening experience and a perfect complement to Brian’s newsletter and earlier work at Digiday. This is an essential podcast for operators in media. Brian’s ability to book great guests, ask valuable questions, share valuable insights, and keep the conversation moving makes for time well spent. I consistently walk away with a better understanding of macro-level issues in media but, more importantly, micro-level ideas for my own business.
