The first monthly episode of “For Immediate Release: The Hobson & Holtz Report” features co-hosts Neville Hobson and Shel Holtz discussing the following topics:

  • How China is shaping the future of shopping — it’s online, social, and highly appealing to Gen Z
  • Media coverage of local news is evaporating. Should business pick up the slack?
  • Customer reviews are the new content marketing, says Jay Baer
  • Movements mean more than brand purpose. Just look at Pornhub’s new movement to save the bees.
  • The UK government has added 12,000 pieces of information to Google Assistant and Amazon’s Alexa
  • When you think of Augmented Reality, do you think of audio? You should.
  • Dan York reports on MindNode 6, WordPress 5.2, Pocket, Minnesota’s “Right to Repair” legislation, and Mozilla’s move away from IRC.

Special thanks to Jay Moonah for the opening and closing music.

You can find the stories from which FIR content is selected at Shel’s Link Blog.

The next episode of For Immediate Release will be posted on Monday, April 29.
