Joel Denver , Co-Founder and CEO of SonicTrek.ai , joins BRANDwidth on Demand to explain what actually changes when AI enters broadcasting, what doesn’t, and why indecision—not innovation—is the real risk. A practical conversation on AI-infused radio, local relevance, human judgment, and the future of audio. Essential listening for anyone shaping the future of radio, podcasts, and audio-first media.
