Off Track: Content shouldn’t be a game

Luca Allam
About this episode

Welcome to a special bonus episode of Luca’s Insight Track. In this 'Off Track' edition, I open up on the world of content, from creators to platforms, what’s real and what’s fake, short form media and long form media, and what the future of human and AI will look like in the content world.

In this episode, inspired from a great episode with Pakman, I share my own insights about the correlation between long form media and quality content, why podcasts need to continue to play in the long form territory and avoid vanity social attention metrics, and why an impending divorce between creators and platforms could unlock a happier future. Yes, manipulation of algorithms & platforms and buying fake followers & engagements is ubiquitous - but there also exists content with real depth, truth & humanity, and that gives hope for all of us. 

In this unfiltered, improvised, and off-scripted episode, I share my personal insights that have and continue to shape who I am. Tune in now for a raw and thought-inspired conversation on Off Track!
