PNR 171: Apple and Amazon Race to Content Dominance

In this episode of This Old Marketing, Joe and Robert discuss Apple's launch into the content creation business.  Meanwhile, publishers are still too focused on their channel strategies and Spotify launches into original podcasts (and sets up Amazon to purchase them in the near future). Rants and raves include the future of print and the big fail of ad tech.  This week's TOM example: Sinclair Oil.
