Lingering Questions is one of my favorite parts of the Masters in Marketing newsletter, because it’s an opportunity for marketers to talk directly to one another.

Paramount is currently trying to overtop Netflix’s bid to buy Warner Bros., and Stephen Colbert — who works for Paramount-owned CBS, and whose show is due to end next April due to its controversial cancellation — has something to say about the big figures being thrown around.”Friday we learned that Netflix put in a bid to acquire Warner Brothers for $82.7 billion,” the Late Show host says in the clip above. “That’s a lot of cash. You know what that means? Someone, somewhere, must be paying for their own Netflix account. But just yesterday morning my beloved parent company, Paramount,…

I live in a city prone to extreme cold, heat, and allergens, which means fans, space heaters, and air purifiers are friends throughout the year. But so is the idea of consolidating those functions into one unit. The Blueair ComfortPro 3-in-1 is one effective space-saving answer. I tested this triple threat smart air purifier in the smallest room in our house, our toddler’s room, and it was just the breath of fresh, clean air I was hoping for.

JS: It feels dry on the front end, but it doesn’t bake up drying.SU: Yes, it’s tenderizing. So if you’re listening, please don’t add more flour in case you don’t have milk powder.

How could I sub this?” Thanks.SU: Okay, Roberto. I would actually not substitute with anything. There is no substitute. It is such a unique ingredient and it’s just not substitutable. And what I would recommend in this case…

Remember when social media content was limited to Facebook statuses and, er, “pokes?” Even a few years later, cutting-edge content was limited to a blurry photo with an oversaturated filter on Instagram.It seems bizarre now, given how much you can do with social media today. With the ever-growing list of platforms releasing new features daily, it’s an exciting time to build a following online — but it’s not an easy one. With the plethora of social media content options available every time you open your favorite app, it can be difficult to know what type of content your audience most wants…

Manfrotto One hybrid tripod: two-minute reviewAs soon as you pull the Manfrotto One out of its box, you can tell this is a tripod unlike any other. I’ve used many professional tripods over the years, such as the 3 Legged Thing Punks Brian 2.0 and Gitzo tripod Traveler series 1, but this feels less like a support for your camera gear and more like the center point of an…

The introduction of Spotify Wrapped back in 2016 made the concept of an end-of-year app-usage review go viral. Since then, many other apps have jumped on the bandwagon. One app that doesn’t have its own “Wrapped” yet is ChatGPT. Thanks to a genius idea posted on LinkedIn, I got ChatGPT to create my own ChatGPT Wrapped 2025, and it’s incredibly easy to do. You can ask ChatGPT to generate your usage stats I first came across this idea in a post by Angel Brodin on LinkedIn. She had the brilliant notion of asking ChatGPT to generate its own summary of…

Here’s a phrase that’s music to my ears: “You cook, I’ll clean.” I know some people think dishwashing is meditative, but for me it’s just a plain old chore—with zero enlightenment. So, unless I have somebody else on hand to do the cleaning, I gravitate towards meals that come together in one pot. Clearly, many of our readers feel the same, as they’ve saved a ton of one-pot recipes with MyRecipes, our free tool for keeping and organizing your favorite recipes.  Take a look over the list—you might just find a hearty, cozy, single-pot dish to add to your dinnertime…

They keep dozens of devices connected at once, manage traffic intelligently and often include helpful app features that make troubleshooting or adjusting settings much easier. Many…
