Podcasts & Video Interviews

The C-word features on the Faultline Podcast for the first time, in an episode full of taboos.

CEO of Bold New Solutions (BNS), Lu Bolden (formerly of Verimatrix and ThinkAnalytics), introduces us to a new venture – one that aims to drill into both engineering and business problems for customers like Wide Open West (WOW).

Greening of Streaming’s Dom Robinson and Ben Schwarz bury the hatchet with Faultline’s Tommy Flanagan and Quentin Vidberg, to discuss whether our recent article did justice to the group’s recently completed remote energy monitoring tests.

How does GoS plan to build on this groundwork of SDR versus HDR energy data? What sort of sample size can be considered credible? And is the honeymoon period over for the non-profit?

LiveU’s Chief Product Officer, Gideon Gilboa, returns to the Faultline podcast with unfinished business.

Stormtroopers, Zixi, lessons from the military, and the perils of AWS.

Brad Carter, CEO and co-founder at Cerberus Tech (formerly CTO until a few weeks ago), joins Tommy Flanagan for an analogy-laden journey through the rise of this UK-based IP video SaaS specialist.

Mistakes and naivety. Enemies turned friends. Codec politics and the power of persuasion.

It can only be Guido Meardi, the eccentric CEO and co-founder of London-based V-Nova, who gives Tommy Flanagan the warts-and-all walkthrough since emerging from stealth mode in 2015, to launching an MPEG video compression standard with LCEVC.

Varnish Software’s Frank Miller (aka the CTO who never sleeps) joins Tommy Flanagan and Quentin Vidberg on the Faultline Podcast.

The trio discuss smashing world records in video delivery, traversing disruption in the CDN landscape, and waning interest in Open Caching… also pizzas, socks, and saturation rigs.

Yes, you did read that title correctly. If you hadn’t already heard, the legendary journalist formerly of Streaming Media Magazine, Eric Schumacher-Rasmussen, has turned to the dark side – swapping scribe for Mjölnir as CMO of id3as.

Eric joins Tommy Flanagan to discuss how this surprise career change came about and what life is like on the other side of the interview table.  We also hear about “jaw dropping” moments from IBC 2023 concerning the company’s new low-code streaming SDK, and we can’t resist name-dropping a few celebrities while we’re here.

The first female executive to guest on the Faultline Podcast is Olga Kornienko, EZDRM Co-Founder & COO – aka the queen of digital rights management.  In this episode, we broach the important topic of what can collectively be done as an industry to encourage the representation of women in the video technology space.  But not before we unwrap EZDRM’s recent marketing epiphany, touch on IBC 2023 plans, and deliberate how the vendor might react to shifting industry trends in content protection – as a company dubbed “the industry’s best kept secret”.

A trip down memory lane with Marty Roberts, SVP of Product Strategy and Marketing at SaaS video platform provider Brightcove, precedes tantalizing teasers about what the US vendor has in store for IBC 2023.

Themes span QoE video analytics, cloud-based video predictions, ad-tech and FAST, acquisitions, commoditization, commission checks, and tea leaves.
