In our first podcast episode of 2021, we feature an interview with Dave Mace, who has designed, developed and implemented many cloud based content platforms over the years working on behalf of news, broadcasters and OTT organizations. 

We talk about how metadata has changed over the years, and what the near future holds

As it is the beginning of the year, this week's Metadata Matters podcast episode looks back on the guest interviews we've had so far and Matt Eaton provides two predictions for 2021. 

In this episode, we explore the importance of metadata at the consumer end of the supply chain - how enriched metadata is critical for personalization and recommendation engines. 

We speak to Jim Riley, Chief Revenue Officer from BitMax, a GrayMeta partner, that supports both content providers and downstream platforms.

This podcast looks at metadata within content localization with Scott Rose, CTO, SDI Media. 

We talk about some of the different types of metadata involved in localization, the role machine learning services play in the quality of the translated material, and why understanding context is everything for translation.

This week we talk to Sally Hubbard, Director of Media Management at PBS. 

We talk about the pilot she ran at PBS involving GrayMeta's Curio Platform. 

We discuss metadata standards, using time-based metadata to realize the full value of an archive, and the challenges & opportunities facing metadata management in 2021.

This week, we speak to Eric Fulmer, VP Operations at Shotflow, a company that delivers Studio Production Management solutions to retail and apparel brands.
