In this episode, Alberto is on the road but checks in with a quick news round-up. This is shorter than the typical episode and mostly focuses on some news items—yes, Bluesky is the new Twitter; Canon and Amazon score a win for consumers against "gray market" goods; and the truth about Spotify's Wrapped news.

There's a lot of content out there. From YouTube to Instagram to TV - content exists all around us. While more and more content is being made there seems to be a glaring absence of art. While art can be comprised of different media content, understanding the difference between the two can get complicated. In this episode I sit down to chat with Founder and Editor-in-Chief of ThePhoblographer.com, Chris Gampat, to better understand Art vs. Content and how it's shaping the world around us.

At a time when personal branding can seem at best tired and at worst inauthentic, it's important that you make sure that branding has a purpose. That's what our guest, Joi Sears, has spent much of her adult life creating - brands that connect with people and help drive purpose-based missions forward. In our interview, we talked about where she started her professional journey and the ups and downs of not only being an entrepreneur, and a community organizer but also how life has changed since becoming a mom. This isn't branding how you see it on social media - we get real. You can find Joi's work on Instagram and on her site.

In this episode, longtime collaborator, Vitto, is back to talk gaming. This episode was as much a personal distraction as it was a long-overdue conversation about what we've been looking forward to in the world of gaming. Whether you're heavy into the fighting game community or if you prefer tabletop gaming - this episode has a little something for everyone. We covered the latest Tekken 8 character trailers (specifically King and Jack-8), the rise of the PC in the tournament scene, and Alberto got educated on Ra and Shadows Over Camelot. This episode was as much a love letter to games as two adults who have very little time for gaming in their lives.

The Noisecast is back with another interview with New York-based photographer, Monica K. Rose. Monica is part of a growing number of photographers that are going all in on analog photography - challenges and all - and allowing the character of film photography shape her creative vision. Monica started out her creative career first by making portraits for social media and quickly discovered her passion for conceptual photography in large part due to her experimentation in analog photography. Monica, spent some time with us talking about how she's made personal pivots to becoming a working photographer in New York City and how her love of making art continues to be at the heart of her decision to forego digital in favor of analog photography. We also got a chance to geek out about film stocks and gear - so definitely stick around for that.
