Barry and Steve's SEO and Beers Podcast is LIVE!

It won't end well with these two.

I'm pleased to announce that I've recently teamed up with Barry Adams to discuss all the latest digital publishing trends - whilst drinking beer.

Barry has been a good friend of mine for a number of years and we share the same passion for surfacing good journalism to our algorithmic masters. There's been a lot of confusion about LLMs recently and the role of SEO so we felt compelled to clear things up.

Along with publisher predictions for 2026, we discuss if AI Mode will become the default search view in Google, AI prompt tracking tools, Zero Click search, how you can influence without authority as an SEO - and a drunken night in RedRuth, Cornwall.

We haven't got a pre-planned schedule for our new Oscar contender, we'll team up - a bit like The Avengers (although who's who in that I will never know) - when there's been a significant number of updates in the industry.

We haven't even established a proper name yet - so this is where you come in. You can send us your suggestions along with topics you want us to talk about right here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScmoVivBiFBVCaW4gSTPuoNhaUccypwFf6luo7Qj2C8ofNFeg/viewform
