Music Industry Moves: Brad Smith Named Head of Podcast Products for SiriusXM https://t.co/FD0SOYYOtG

OH AND A LINK. Those help too! https://t.co/dqlYOIzTR3

We have much to do in pods product and strategy land! We have an already stellar founding team… and are looking for more. Come nerd out on podcasts w me and help us write the future of products for spoken word audio

(to those colleagues, I hope you know who you are, as I try to say thank you every chance I get)

All kidding aside, I’m light years beyond humbled to be trusted with a responsibility of this size. I’m excited to roll up my sleeves and do the good, important work alongside those colleagues who have supported me over the past year and then trusted me with this opportunity...

some podcast news: @brad has been named head of podcast products for siriusxm, effective immediately. he and the team will oversee sirius' podcast product strategy across all its platforms — sirius, pandora, and stitcher.

This will be a fun one. Delighted to be a part of the team bringing it to the world's ears. Related: failing to recall the Arrested Development "tape recorder" quote which feels somewhat fitting here Thanks for the opportunity, @LLMGT

Welcome, @Simplecast! 🙌 @SIRIUSXM @TechCrunch https://t.co/CtsGLd3WUG

Any successful startup has its chameleons - those key teammates who can quickly (AND successfully) adapt and change when and where the business winds blow. @danecardiel you’ve been one hell of a chameleon, sir! I'm excited to kick off this next chapter with you. Thank you!! ✨

TEAAAAAAM

It has been almost 4 years since @Brad and I starting reimagining what @Simplecast could be and turning it into a best-in-class platform. It's crazy how drastically different the podcasting world looks now than it did back then, but our vision continues to be no less audacious.

My work here - it is done.

today’s a very special day for @Simplecast in advancing the podcasting economy https://t.co/GV4eoutAil some thoughts on how @brad and team got here (as I was fortunate to be involved from the seed stage on)

Current status: a river of joy alongside a mountain of warm feels, but those million-or-so words are for another day soon. For now, I'll just leave this right here… 🛰 https://t.co/fXogFVBAcP

Podcast creators are creating, listeners are listening, advertisers are advertising, and enterprises are turning to podcasting to solve new problems.
