Patriot on Purpose

Adam Lantelme and Nate Hopkins, engage in a thought-provoking conversation with special guest Melinda Wittstock, a former journalist and founder of Podopolo, a podcast player platform using AI to elevate the podcast listening experience.

They discuss the intersection of blockchain and AI in combating disinformation, the importance of consuming information from diverse sources, and the impact of algorithms on social media and journalism. Melinda shares her entrepreneurial journey, experiences as a Canadian in the United States, and insights on the decline of journalism. Join us for an insightful discussion on media, technology, and societal responsibility.

Melinda Wittstock is the Founder and CEO of Podopolo. As a five-time serial entrepreneur in media and tech, Melinda has always believed that conversation is the best content.

Melinda's entrepreneurial journey began at a young age when she created her first interactive show for her neighbors at age six. She went on to work as a correspondent for The Times of London, covering business, media, and the early days of the internet. Steve Jobs once told her that she “asked the best questions”, and she later worked as a producer and anchor for CNBC's Financial Times Television, ABC News' World News Now, and the BBC, where she grew a TV newsmagazine to an audience of 20 million in just a few months.

Throughout her career, Melinda has learned how to create engaging content that benefits both consumers and creators. She is passionate about making sure content creators can earn a living from their work and has founded four successful companies in broadcast media, social networking, AI-driven consumer intelligence, gamification, and technology.

With Podopolo, Melinda has combined her knowledge of media and technology to create a next-generation podcasting platform at the intersection of social media, AI, and blockchain. Her vision is to create a world where podcasts can turn ideas into action, followers into movements, and communities into agents of change.
