Zach predicts the continued shift in the demand for alternative media, and how younger generations prefer to gain their knowledge from digital platforms from a varied array of sources and commentators,
1. What Do You Foresee For Your Industry In 2025?
I think the confluence of podcasting, sports, and handicapping will continue to trend and be officially embraced by the leagues across all professional sports. I think the audience, especially Gen Z fans who tend to follow online stats, will seek actionable and valuable knowledge in addition to entertainment from shows like ours.
This will separate the experts from the actors, and today their are too many actors faking it. This is fine in pure entertainment podcasts, but not when people are risking their money based on the opinions offered on the show. When it becomes infotainment, the research and information backing it up should be from an expert. I’m convinced 2025 will be just as entertaining but with more informed opinions.
2. How Do You Intend To Influence Your Industry Next Year?
I intend to continue to produce entertaining content week over week, while continuing to provide my audience with the most accurate analysis, trends and predictions. I pride myself on doing the work, knowing the stats and being the most accurate in the industry the last five years and I intend to continue that.
I also continue to mix in my passion for music and culture with my sports podcasts to make them entertaining to the widest audience possible.
