About this episode

The hosts recap the best and worst of the email industry in 2025 and share their excitement for 2026.

“Closing time, open all the doors and let you out into the world.” No, but for real we’re wrapping up the season, putting up the storm windows, holidays and long PTO are coming. We’ll be back in 2026 but before we board up the windows for the winter we wanted to recap everything that's happened this year in the email industry. Alison Gootee stopped by our studio because she's been keeping a list so let's recap and we’ll see you in 2026! Email’s Not Dead is a podcast about how we communicate with each other and the broader world through modern technologies. Email isn’t dead, but it could be if we don’t change how we think about it. Hosts Jonathan Torres and Eric Trinidad dive into the email underworld and come back out with a distinctive look at the way developers and marketers send email.
