No Mercy / No Malice: Media Consolidation

In this podcast episode, the hosts explore the significant consolidation occurring in the media industry, likening it to the invasive Burmese python's dominance in the Florida Everglades. Digital platforms like Netflix and major tech giants are emerging as apex predators, shaking up traditional media and leading to lower wages and fewer job opportunities for many workers. While some companies are shedding underperforming assets to concentrate on streaming growth, the overarching trend reveals a troubling concentration of power among a select few, resulting in an unequal distribution of wealth and opportunities within the media landscape.
