We’re starting 2016 with a bit of a change to the podcast. Now you’ll be getting more analysis from MediaShift’s very own Mark Glaser, a roundup of the week’s top news, and a chat with one special guest. And wouldn’t you know it, our guest this week is Rafat Ali, a former co-host of the Mediatwits, founder of PaidContent, and CEO of travel service site Skift. In this week’s episode, you’ll hear Ali talk about being unable to raise more venture capital was “one of the lowest points of [his] professional life,” how being a dad is like working in a startup, and how social media is performative. Plus, the biggest digital media stories of the week: Univision buys the Onion, Al Jazeera America Shutters, Tech’s Frightful Five, and Netflix adds more subscribers than expected.
