In this episode of Ad Infinitum , host Stew Redwine is joined by commercial director Jordan Brady and Amplifi Media CEO and NYU professor Steven Goldstein to confront a fast-growing threat in the world of advertising: AI Slop . Used by Steven in a blog post earlier this year , “AI Slop” refers to the dull, generic content flooding our feeds—fueled by AI tools used without intention or craft. This episode pulls back the curtain on how these tools are transforming creative work—for better and worse. With the rise of “invisible minivans” (not Lamborghinis), Stew and his guests dig into how AI is flattening creativity, the steep cost of sounding like everyone else, and what marketers need to do to protect emotional resonance and brand authenticity in audio. You’ll hear: 🤖 What “AI Slop” is—and how to spot it in the wild 💸 Why boring ads are the most expensive kind to make 🎙️ How the human touch is disappearing from podcast ads 🧠 When AI is helpful—and when it becomes a creative shortcut 📉 What happens when audio loses its nuance, and how to fight back Stew, Jordan, and Steven put four of the top commercial radio ads through the Ad Infinitum wringer—grading each on persuasion, production, and sonic distinctiveness: Progressive : A 10-second “riddle” spot that lacked flair and fell flat—proof that brevity doesn’t guarantee brilliance. Verizon : A $50/month deal with an attempt at a clever hook (“cheaper than your dog’s glam squad”) and zero memorability. AT&T : A 60-second travel-themed ad that waited 46 seconds to mention the brand. Result? $155K in wasted media dollars. Cricket : The surprise winner. With early branding, relatable benefits, and lively sonic branding, it scored highest across the board—an example of simple, effective, human-sounding creative. The verdict? You don’t need AI to sound robotic—humans are making boring, formu Everyday AI: Your daily guide to grown with Generative AI Can't keep up with AI? We've got you.

In this episode of Ad Infinitum , host Stew Redwine is joined by Eric Molinsky —journalist, audio producer, and host of Imaginary Worlds —to explore how advertising creates universes of its own through storytelling, sound design, and the audience’s imagination. Ads aren’t just persuasive messages—they’re narrative constructs. Just like great novels or blockbuster movies, audio ads have the power to build immersive worlds. Whether it’s the cinematic lore of Apple, the absurdist multiverse of Geico , or the familiar nostalgia of Coca-Cola ’s holiday canon, brands are world-building. The question is—how do they make it believable? Drawing on his expertise from covering sci-fi, fantasy, and fictional world-building, Eric helps unpack how those same principles apply to advertising. From the “theater of the mind” that makes audio so immersive, to the use of recurring characters, in-world logic, and even breaking the fourth wall—this conversation offers a crash course in ad storytelling for every creative and Chief Audio Officer looking to level up. Then, in true Ad Infinitum fashion, Stew and Eric analyze real podcast ads from Rocket Money , Capital One , USAA , American Express , and Bank of America , as tracked by Magellan AI . How well do they construct imaginary worlds—and where do they fall short? You’ll hear: 🌍 Why audio ads are the ultimate world-building medium 🧠 How fiction techniques help audiences suspend disbelief 🎭 When to break the fourth wall—and when not to 🛠️ What ads get wrong about storytelling (and how to fix it) Whether you’re a marketer, a writer, or a brand trying to make a mark—this episode will reframe how you think about advertising.

In Ad Infinitum Season 3, Episode 3 - "Sonic Justice," Stew Redwine is joined by legal entrepreneur, founder of 1-800-NOCUFFS , and audio ad icon Darren Kavinoky to explore how bold, memorable local radio spots can deliver attention, affinity, and action in a sea of sameness from many Brand (bland) advertisers. We can all recite the jingles and often preposterous intonations and taglines of local radio advertisers. They are founders and small business owners like Darren who have to lay it all on the line to make their audio ads work. If things don't work out, they're letting people go and possibly going out of business. So they play to win. You'll find out how Darren won big time in audio in this episode and get some GREAT advice to running a small business that goes way beyond how to make unforgettable audio ads that call people to action. From humble beginnings and business-card ads in Russian newspapers to building one of California’s most recognized legal brands through the airwaves, Darren’s story is a crash course in founder-led audio success. Together, he and Stew break down why playing it safe is the real risk, how to build trust with sonic branding, and the five-pillar mindset that helped Darren grow from solo practitioner to multimillion-dollar firm. You’ll hear: ⚖️ How 1-800-NO-CUFFS became a household name 🎙️ The formula behind his unforgettable radio spots 🔊 Why audio ad success is all about playing offense 💡 And, how Darren dialed in his audio campaigns to convey empathy, ethos, and expertise—in just 15 seconds This one’s for the audio rebels, the founder-CEOs, and every CAO ready to trade boring for bold and reap the rewards.

In this episode, "Audio’s Rule of Thirds", Stew Redwine 's guest is Mike Jensen , CEO of Rhapsody Voices and they discuss how brands can best connect with hosts, what the ingredients of a persuasive host read ad are, and rating some recent movers and shakers in the podcast space form Magellan.ai ’s May 2024 report - MeUndies, Rakuten, IBM, and monday.com. Audio is replete with threes: first, there’s production: voice-over, sound design, and music. Then, there’s the classic story structure of beginning, middle, and end. Of course, there are also timeless rhetorical appeals: pathos, logos, and ethos. And with Rhapsody Voices, Mike Jensen, focuses on three things to "deliver on the connectivity between the host, the sponsors, and the audience.” Mike's three suggestions for CAO's who want to make the ads work better than ever? Authenticity is key: Authenticity in host-read ads is paramount. A host should be able to demonstrate their genuine connection to the product—otherwise, why else are they reading it? Simplicity: For Mike, authenticity goes hand-in-hand with simplicity. For example, if a Starbucks ad has 20 potential value propositions, the host shouldn’t try to highlight all of them; instead, they should key into one or two things, like the new summer drinks and caffeine-free options. That way, the host can expand on what they genuinely like about the products. Clear call to action: Everyone knows an ad works best when it has a call to action. However, not all CTAs are equal. Triple down on having a clear, concise, and persuasive CTA, and triple-check the copy to make sure it’s solid. After all, a read is only as good as its copy.

In this episode, host Stew Redwine discusses the creative approach to scripting fiction podcasts, the role of sponsors and ads in spoken word audio, and analyzes four ads from the Ambie Award-winning podcast Ad Lucem . Stew is joined by two guests: Ray Harkins , Senior Director of Ad Sales at Wondery Nathalie Chicha , producer of the 2023 Ambie Award-winning podcast " I Hear Fear " Key points from the discussion: How knowing upfront that ads will be included affects the creative process when scripting a fiction podcast. Nathalie notes that while it can be challenging for listeners to shift from the story into a commercial break, it forces the creators to think strategically about building engaging cliffhangers to retain the audience through the ads. Ray shares insights on selling ads for fiction podcasts and the importance of matching the tone and style of the ads to the show's content. The rise of fiction podcasts and audio storytelling as an alternative to screen-based media. Stew believes there will be increasing growth in this space. The second half of the episode focuses on analyzing four ads from the podcast Ad Lucem: Sonos Era 300 Speaker - rated highly for relevance to an immersive audio experience, but critiqued for not demonstrating the product's capabilities. Twizzlers - seen as a weaker ad without a clear connection to the story themes. Dave Banking App - praised for capturing the financial struggles of the show's young characters, but felt longer than necessary. BetterHelp - the favorite of the four for cleverly integrating the show's AI assistant character into the ad copy. The overall takeaway was that while 60-second ads provide room for storytelling, the additional time must be earned through engaging, relevant content. Shorter ads may be preferable for fiction podcasts unless the extra length enhances the listening experience.

They analyze four recent top spenders in radio advertising and evaluate their sonic branding strategies. The conversation highlights the need for consistency, emotional connection, and clear messaging in sonic branding. They also emphasize the value of frequency and long-term commitment to sonic branding. The episode provides insights and examples for chief audio officers and marketers looking to enhance their audio advertising strategies. Takeaways Consistency is key in sonic branding to create a recognizable and memorable sonic identity. Sonic branding should evoke an emotional connection with the brand and differentiate it from competitors. Clear messaging and information transfer are important in sonic branding to effectively communicate the brand's value proposition. Frequency and long-term commitment to sonic branding can lead to a significant lift in advertising effectiveness.
