WATCH: Media In a Post-Trump America
Archer & Feldman make it to episode 5
What happens to the media when Trump is no longer the center of American politics? What happens to radio as AI takes hold?
In this episode of Archer & Feldman, we talk with media veteran Joel Denver about the future of journalism, broadcasting, and audience trust in a rapidly changing media landscape.
From the turmoil inside CBS and 60 Minutes to the collapse of traditional radio audiences, we take a look at how major media companies got here, whether they can regain credibility, and what comes next. Joel shares his perspective on the mistakes media organizations have made, the challenges of rebuilding trust, and why convenience—not loyalty—is increasingly driving audience behavior.
We also talk about the fragmentation of media, the rise of podcasts and streaming platforms, and whether legacy broadcasters can adapt to a world where viewers and listeners have more choices than ever. And we take a look at radio’s future in the age of artificial intelligence, including what AI may mean for programming, content creation, and the people who work in the industry.
If you’ve ever wondered what the future of journalism, radio, television news, and media looks like after Trump, this conversation is for you.
