Most brands concentrate on the question, “What is our voice?” Our guest on this episode, Shira Atkins, CMO and Co-founder of Wonder Media Network, points out the more important question for brands to ask is, “Who are the voices of the people we want to support and align with?”
This week we bring to you a great conversation between Shira Atkins and our host Scott Simonelli. They discuss how your brand can authentically use cause marketing on podcasts, how females are underrepresented when it comes to the voices used in advertising, and how Wonder Media Network is working to change these norms.

Mari Joller created Snackable to solve the problem, using AI to produce clearly-summarized, easily-discoverable and shareable spoken word content. Our own Scott Simonelli sits down with Mari on this episode of The Sonic Truth.
