In this episode of the Talking Points Podcast, Kevin and I talk about tech and media trends–from a little different perspective (that of a former Yahoo board member). I say “different” because it’s not the usual marketing predictions. Instead, this deck (featured in the show notes below) talks about much broader tech and media trends–but trends that will definitely have an impact on us all in the year(s) ahead.

Take a listen.
