Mixed Signals from Semafor Media
Dear reader,

Today, we’re premiering Season 3 of Mixed Signals from Semafor Media, the show where Max Tani and I talk about the radical changes in media right now with the people at the cutting edge of them.

Over the past two seasons, we've sat down with some of the most influential voices in the industry, including Jen Psaki, Ezra Klein, Tina Brown, Kara Swisher, Piers Morgan, Frank Cooper, and Jason Y. Lee, offering you an inside look at the media landscape through candid, often unexpected conversations.

This season, we’re diving deeper into these shifts and what they mean for the future. We’re talking about how the media is evolving, why these shifts matter, and how they’re influencing those in and around the ecosystem from journalists and content creators to media executives, marketers, advertisers, and consumers.

Season 3 kicks off with Clay Travis, the founder of OutKick, a media company at the intersection of sports and culture. In our conversation, we explore Clay’s path from new media to big media, how sports gambling reshaped sports, and whether or not politics is behind the NBA’s ratings decline.

We’re also thrilled to have Think with Google returning as our partner for the season, and we’ll feature a recurring segment with Joshua Spanier, Google’s Vice President of Marketing, where we’ll unpack how marketers can adapt to these shifting dynamics.

Whether you’re new to the show or a long-time listener, we hope you’ll check us out. 

You can find the show on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube

Thanks for joining us.
