M-Cube’s Mike Sponza on music technology and the future of brand experience

In this episode of AV in the Wild, Neil and Iffat sit down with Mike Sponza, Founding Partner and Director of Music & Licensing at M-Cube, to discuss music, technology and brand experience. Mike also reflects on how content delivery has evolved over time, and why, despite advances in connectivity, local storage and reliable infrastructure remain critical to consistent playback.  The conversation dives into the complexities of music licensing, where Mike unpacks how copyright rules vary by country and why ongoing dialogue with collecting societies remains essential, particularly as technology evolves. He also reflects on changes in content delivery over time, from hard‑drive distribution to store‑and‑forward systems, and explains why local storage continues to be critical, even in markets with advanced connectivity.  Mike shares his perspective on the growing role of AI in functional music, discussing both the efficiencies it unlocks through adaptive playlists and the ethical and creative considerations it raises. The episode also touches on how the consumption of audio evolved during the COVID period to meet changing industry needs, the increasing importance of sustainability initiatives, and how music, visuals and digital platforms are coming together to shape more immersive, brand-led environments.  Special thanks to Mike Sponza for joining us and offering a thoughtful look at how music‑led environments can enhance both brand identity and customer experience.

Storytelling, neurodiversity and the power of inclusive AV spaces

In this episode of AV in the Wild, Iffat and Neil are joined by award-winning writer, director, podcaster and advocate, Sam Grierson, for an open and reflective conversation about neurodiversity, creativity and belonging.  Sam shares their journey to a later-life diagnosis of autism and ADHD, reflecting on identity, self-discovery and the lack of visible role models for autistic women and non-binary people. The discussion explores the value and limitations of labels, the concept of hyperfocus, and how Sam’s experiences have shaped both their perspective and creative work.  The episode also looks at Sam’s writing career, including the plays and audio dramas created during COVID that place neurodiverse characters at the centre, many of which are made freely available to improve accessibility and representation. Broadening the conversation, the group discuss rising diagnoses, post-diagnosis support, intentional use of technology, and how the AV industry can create more inclusive, supportive spaces.  Thank you to Sam for sharing such thoughtful and personal insights highlighting the power of representation, community and safe spaces.

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
